The Secretary of Agriculture may cooperate with States to protect forests from fire on certain lands. Federal spending in a State may not exceed that State’s spending for the same purpose in the same fiscal year.

The Secretary of Agriculture may make an agreement, on conditions the Secretary considers wise, with one or more States to organize and maintain fire protection on private or State forest land in those States if the land is in the watershed of a navigable river. The Secretary may not make such an agreement with a State that has not created a forest-fire protection system by law. In any fiscal year, the amount spent in a State may not be more than the amount that State appropriated for the same purpose that year.
