To amend section 5545 of title 5, United States Code, to provide hazard pay for carrying out prescribed burns, and for other purposes.

This bill amends federal pay rules to provide hazard pay for specific federal firefighters. It requires that firefighters conducting prescribed burns (controlled fires for land management) and smokejumpers during training or operations receive the same hazard pay rate currently given to those fighting wildfires. The change applies to employees covered under Title 5 of U.S. Code, with implementation required within 90 days of enactment through Office of Personnel Management regulations. The policy directly affects federal wildfire management personnel performing these high-risk duties.
