In FY 1996, RWU-4802 prepared a computer-based system to forecast annual fire suppression expenditures (actually the WFSU expenditures) for the Forest Service. These efforts have proven very useful to WO-FAM in meeting anti-deficiency regulations. This system produces annual, national-level, suppression expenditure forecasts by aggregating regional forecasts. Regional forecasts are based on current fire suppression expenditures and statistical modeling of fire conditions expected for the remainder of the fiscal year. The RWU will: 1) continue implementing this system in FY 2002; and 2) make modifications and evaluations as appropriate to reflect: a) the elimination of the overtime pay cap, and b) the elimination of B-codes.
