                     Subpart B--Declaration Process
 
Sec. 204.22  Submitting a request for a fire management assistance declaration.

    The Governor of a State, or the Governor's Authorized Representative 
(GAR), may submit a request for a fire management assistance 
declaration. The request must be submitted while the fire is burning 
uncontrolled and threatens such destruction as would constitute a major 
disaster. The request must be submitted to the Regional Director and 
should address the relevant criteria listed in Sec. 204.21, with 
supporting documentation that contains factual data and professional 
estimates on the fire or fire complex. To ensure that we can process a 
State's request for a fire management assistance declaration as 
expeditiously as possible, the State should transmit the request by 
telephone, promptly followed by written documentation (FEMA Form 90-58).
