Authority Fire Trespass : Public Law , the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), section 305, Deposits and Forfeitures. This section allows BLM to collect for fire trespass and use the collection for “any improvement, protection, or rehabilitation work.”

Fire Trespass Programs 5310 and 5320 include other BLM activities; therefore, it is “critical” that fire trespass collections cite the FIRE project code, or the funds risk being lost into a general collections category. If another federal agency’s cost are a part of the trespass bill, BLM must transfer their percentage of the collections via IPAC.
