What this bill would do
This bill, known as the ``Grazing for Wildfire Risk Reduction Act'', directs the Secretary of Agriculture to create and execute a strategy to use livestock grazing to reduce wildfire risks. The Secretary is to act through the Chief of the U.S. Forest Service. This process should involve coordination with current livestock grazing permit holders on Federal land. The strategy includes specific methods such as completing reviews for grazing on vacant allotments during natural disasters. It also calls for targeted grazing and the use of temporary permits. Finally, the plan may include using grazing for postfire recovery and restoration.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Increased opportunities during disasters: The bill calls for completing reviews to allow grazing on vacant allotments when drought, wildfire, or other natural disasters disrupt existing grazing allotments (Section 2, paragraph 1). This could provide livestock grazing opportunities when regular allotments are disrupted.
-
Fuel and grass management: The bill promotes the use of temporary permits to help with targeted fuels reduction and the reduction of invasive annual grasses (Section 2, paragraph 3). This is intended as a means of wildfire risk reduction.
-
Land recovery: The strategy includes the increased use of grazing as a way to assist with postfire recovery and restoration where appropriate (Section 2, paragraph 4).
Potential Negative Impacts for People
