Fireshed Registry

(a) Establishment The Secretaries, acting through the Executive Director, shall establish and maintain, on a publicly accessible website, a registry, to be known as the Fireshed Registry, that provides interactive geospatial data relating to individual firesheds, including information relating to— (1) wildland fire exposure, delineated by ownership, including rights-of-way for utilities and other public or private purposes; (2) any hazardous fuels management activities that have occurred within an individual fireshed during the preceding 10 years; (3) wildland fire exposure with respect to a fireshed, delineated by— (A) wildfire exposure and corresponding risk to communities, including risk to life, critical infrastructure, and other structures; (B) wildfire exposure and corresponding risk to municipal watersheds, including Tribal water supplies and systems; and (C) risk of vegetation type conversion due to wildfire; (4) the percentage of a fireshed burned in wildfire during the preceding 10 years, including, to the extent practicable, delineations of acres that have burned at a high severity; (5) spatial patterns of wildfire exposure, including plausible extreme fire events; and (6) any hazardous fuels management activities planned for a fireshed, including fireshed management projects. (b) Community wildfire protection plans The Executive Director shall make data from the Fireshed Registry available to local communities developing or updating community wildfire protection plans. (c) Maintenance As part of the website containing the Fireshed Registry, the Executive Director shall— (1) publish fireshed assessments conducted under section 105; and (2) maintain a searchable database to track— (A) the status of Federal environmental reviews, permits, and authorizations for fireshed management projects, including— (i) a comprehensive permitting timetable; (ii) the status of the compliance of each lead agency, cooperating agency, and participating agency with the permitting timetable with respect to fireshed management projects; (iii) any required modifications of the permitting timetable under clause (i), including an explanation regarding why the permitting timetable was modified; and (iv) information regarding any public meetings, public hearings, and public comment periods relating to a fireshed management project, as that information becomes available, which shall be presented in— (I) English; and (II) the predominant language of each community that is most affected by the fireshed management project, as that information becomes available; (B) the projected cost of fireshed management projects; and (C) in the case of a completed fireshed management project, the estimated effectiveness of the fireshed management project in— (i) reducing the wildfire exposure within the applicable fireshed, including wildfire exposure described in subparagraphs (A) through (C) of subsection (a)(3); and (ii) increasing the resilience of wildlife habitats, including habitat for species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). (d) Incorporation of existing assessments and data In carrying out this section, the Executive Director shall incorporate any assessments completed or data gathered through existing partnerships, to the extent practicable. (e) Applicability of NEPA The establishment and maintenance of the Fireshed Registry under this section shall not be subject to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
