Fire program analysis, or FPA, is both a computer model and a broader management system used by the USDA Forest Service and four agencies in the Department of the Interior for developing wildland fire budget requests and allocating funds. A GAO report is recommending, among other things, that the agencies develop a strategic plan for the continued development of FPA and provide Congress with annual updates on (1) their progress in completing the steps outlined in that plan and (2) how they used FPA in developing their budgets.
