1DOI- Cost estimate should be based on proportionate agency share of the total estimated cost of the incident. For example, on a Type 1 $20 million fire that is 98% FS, 1% BLM, and 1% BIA, the USFS National Director and the BLM and BIA local agency administrators would be the certifying officials in a jointly published WFDSS decision. 2DOI- State/Regional Directors and National Director may delegate WFDSS approval authority as per agency policy.
