Wkbk pg. 19INSTRUCTOR SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING
STATEMENT AND DISCUSS THE NEED FOR A VALID
SYSTEM OF DETERMINING EQUITABLE COST
DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN PARTICIPATING AGENCIES
WORKING A UNIFIED COMMAND INCIDENT.
I Cost Apportionment
A. Implementation of ICS has createda situation where many differentdepartments may be working on asingle incident involving morethan one agency jurisdiction.This often results in resources of
one agency working in thejurisdictional area of another onthe same incident. When the
responsibilities involved and theresources committed are
proportional, this is not aproblem; however, this isfrequently not the case. Agenciesmay decide not to apportion costson some resources that are uniqueto the needs of one agency or theother. For example, a fire burns50 acres on State responsibilityarea and 150 acres on Federal
responsibility area with 20 Stateengines, 10 Federal engines, and 3handcrews from each agency. TheState responsibility area ismostly woodland-grass and theFederal is all timber. Obviously,the Federal responsibility areawill be much more difficult to
control, but the State commitmentis much larger. The cost to theState will be out of proportion toits resources committed. This
situation might be appropriate fora simple cost share agreement.
INSTRUCTOR SHOULD HAVE CLASS IDENTIFY OTHER
SITUATIONS THAT MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE FOR
WRITING COST SHARE AGREEMENTS.
B. Common cost share agreement Wkbk pg. 20definitions 04-02-1368 VG

Direct Protection Area - That
area legally identified asthe responsibility of anagency for suppression offire or other emergencies.
Pay Protection Boundary - Aline on a map that delineatesthe area within an agency'sjurisdiction where anotheragency has agreed to assumeprotection responsibility fora fee.
Mutual Threat Zone - An area
on both sides of a mutual
boundary where the agencieshave agreed that an incidentwould threaten both
agencies. Usually, therewill be no charge by eitheragency for resourcescommitted inside this area to
suppress a fire or otheremergency.
Order Number/Request Number -The order number is a number
assigned to an incident by anagency to identify resourcesfor that incident. It is
usually preceded by alphaidentifiers (RRU, BDF, etc. ) ,which identify the agencywhose direct protection areathe incident started in.
This number should not changeduring the incident. Therequest number is thenumerical sequence for eachseparate request forindividual resources on that

areas are involved in the
incident and more than one
agency is requestingresources for that incident.
Alpha identifiers are usuallyattached to request numbersonly when a Unified OrderingPoint (UOP) has beenestablished by the IncidentCommanders of the concerned
agencies.
5. Unified Ordering Point (UOP)- A single location selectedby the Incident Commanders,usually one of the agency'scommand centers, where all
orders for the incident from
all involved agencies will beplaced. The Supply Unitattaches the requestingagencies alpha identifier toeach request and submits theorder for resources to the
UOP. If an agency places anorder directly to its owncommand center without goingthrough the UOP, it isassumed that resource expensewill be borne solely by theordering agency.
ASK IF THE STUDENTS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE TERMS DEFINED.
C. The unified Incident Commanders
have the responsibility of makingdecisions on cost apportionment.They will direct the FinanceSection Chief to have the cost
share agreement drafted to meettheir decisions on cost sharingand given to them for signing. Itis the responsibility of theProcurement Unit Leader to
actually draft the documentaccording to the directions. If

OUTLINE KEY POINTS & AIDS
possible, it is desirable to havethe Finance Section Chief and the
Procurement Unit Leader
participate in the apportionmentdecision making process. Theirexpertise may be helpful inpreventing later problems inimplementing the cost shareagreement. Some criteria for costapportionment follows.
1. Pro Rata Share - Based on Wkbk pg. 21acreage or area involved. 04-03-1368 VGAdvantages are it is easy tounderstand, easy to calculateshare percentages, and idealfor splitting support costs.The disadvantages are that itis often unfair due to the
differences in workload in
each area and is blind to
difficulty of control oneither side of the protectionboundary.
2. Order Numbers - Each agencypays for what it orders.Advantages are easyunderstanding, easy tracking,no arguments over who shouldpay for a resource, and aneasy billing process.Disadvantages are a risk ofdouble ordering and poorcost-effectiveness, it
promotes dual incident basesor double logistics andfinance operations, is blindto migrating resources, andis vulnerable to mistakes inorder numbers and assignedlocations.
3. Assigned Location (divisionor work assignment) - Theuser pays. It gives maximumconsideration to control
resistance and workload
-41-
OUTLINE KEY POINTS & AIDS
differences. Its
disadvantages are difficultyin tracking migratingresources, especially hiredequipment and labor, and noclear method for division of
support resource costs.
4. Selective Apportionment -Essentially, this method is"we will pay for thisresource and you will pay forthat one." These are veryoften verbal agreements andare good initial attack goalsduring the 24-hour mutual aidperiod. It allows forrequesting specific resourcesfor specific needs. Theproblems are nodocumentation, which leads tomisunderstandings; it isquickly overloaded on rapidlyexpanding incidents; gives noconsideration to resistance
to control or changingworkloads; and requi resfrequent revision.
INSTRUCTOR SHOULD DISCUSS THE OUTLINED
CRITERIA AND ASK THE CLASS FOR ANY OTHER
SUGGESTIONS THEY MIGHT HAVE FOR COST
APPORTIONMENT CRITERIA. MENTION
PRE-NEGOTIATED AGREEMENTS THAT MIGHT EXIST.

sources of information are the Air
Operations Director,Division/Group Supervisors, StrikeTeam Leaders, Equipment andPersonnel Time Recorders,Equipment Managers, and the SupplyUnit. The Procurement Unit Leader
should also provide any additionalinformation to the Cost Unit

1. Trainee selection and prerequisites--all courses aredeveloped with training and experience prerequisites tiedto them. Background experience and training areessential building blocks to allow the trainee to be at aspecified level before venturing into a new subjectarea. If the prerequisites are not adhered to as closelyas possible, it will affect the success of the coursepresentation and hinder the trainees' ability to relateto what is being taught.
2. Instructor prerequisites and cadre meeting — adherence tothese prerequisites is also critical. The instructorsfor this course must have the background and experienceto be able to relate to what is said in the course
outline. The instructor with a broad experience level ishelpful to the trainee when addressing questions by thetrainees (i.e., ways of handling need to meet theprerequisites as indicated. Assistant instructors, orthose covering a specialized area, need not meet thesesame prerequisites).
The instructor cadre meeting can make or break asession. Each instructor should have been sent a copy ofthe entire course and the assignment prior to the cadremeeting. The cadre meeting should provide theopportunity for all instructors to go over the materialand for the Course Coordinator to take care of anyconcerns the instructors may have about the session orthe material.
A-3
The cadre meeting will be critical for instructors whohave not been involved in the course. It will be thereponsibility of the Course Coordinator to assist theseinstructors in clarifying how the course or a unit shouldbe presented. It is also helpful to the first timeinstructor to go through a "dry run" of the unitpresentation with other instructors involved.
