This bill aims to ensure federal employees engaged in prescribed burns and smokejumper firefighters receive appropriate hazard pay for their dangerous duties. It amends section 5545 of title 5, United States Code, to classify the ignition, control, or suppression of prescribed burns as duties involving unusual physical hardship or hazard. This change acknowledges the significant risks, including smoke exposure and arduous tasks, comparable to those in wildfire suppression. The legislation mandates that the pay differential for these activities, including parachute jumps by smokejumpers for training or operational purposes, be equal to the hazard pay provided for fighting forest and range fires on the fireline. The Director of the Office of Personnel Management is required to issue implementing regulations within 90 days of the bill's enactment, ensuring fair compensation for these essential personnel in land management and fire preparedness.
