              TITLE 44--EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND ASSISTANCE
 
 CHAPTER I--FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 
                                SECURITY
 
PART 151_REIMBURSEMENT FOR COSTS OF FIREFIGHTING ON FEDERAL PROPERTY--Table of 
 
                  Subpart A_Purpose, Scope, Definitions
 
Sec.  151.02  Scope.

    Fire services, in any State, may file claims for reimbursement under 
section 11 and this part for the direct expenses and losses which are 
additional firefighting costs over and above normal operating costs 
incurred while fighting a fire on property which is under the 
jurisdiction of the United States. Section 11 requires that certain 
payments be deducted from those costs and that the Treasury Department 
will ordinarily pay the amount resulting from the application of that 
formula. Where the United States has entered into a contract (which is 
not a mutual aid agreement, defined in Sec.  151.03) for the provision 
of fire protection, and it is the intent of the parties that 
reimbursement under section 11 is unavailable, this intent will normally 
govern. Where a mutual aid agreement is in effect between the claimant 
and an agency of the United States for the property upon which the fire 
occurred, reimbursement will be available in otherwise proper 
situations. However, any payments (including the value of services) 
rendered under the agreement during the term of the agreement (or the 
Federal fiscal year in which the fire occurred, if no term is 
discernible) shall be deducted from the costs claimed, pursuant to Sec.  
151.12.
