Bill > HR836

This bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the Container Aerial Firefighting System (CAFFS), a specialized technology for fighting wildfires, within 90 days of the Act's enactment. The evaluation will be performed in consultation with the National Interagency Aviation Committee and the Interagency Airtanker Board, with the goal of assessing how effectively CAFFS can be used to mitigate and suppress wildfires. Within 120 days of enactment, these officials are mandated to submit a detailed report of their findings to specific congressional committees, including the House Committees on Agriculture and Natural Resources, and the Senate Committees on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, and Energy and Natural Resources. The bill represents an effort to systematically examine and potentially improve wildfire fighting capabilities by scientifically evaluating an advanced aerial firefighting technology.
