Congress 118th

Requested By House Committee on Natural Resources
Date Sent Aug. 10, 2023
Description:
H.R. 3389 would require the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior to evaluate the system that uses airplanes to drop containers of water and other fire retardants on wildfires. The bill also would require those departments to report their results to the Congress within 120 days of enactment. Using information from the affected agencies, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost a little more than $500,000 and round to $1 million in 2024; any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
