Cerro Pelado Fire Assistance Act
This bill amends the Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon Fire Assistance Act to specifically include the Cerro Pelado Fire (a 2022 wildfire in Sandoval County, New Mexico that reemerged from a prescribed burn). It establishes a dedicated "Office of Cerro Pelado Fire Claims" within FEMA to process and pay compensation claims for victims of this fire. The bill sets specific deadlines for claim processing (e.g., December 31, 2027 for initial actions, December 31, 2028 for final deadlines) and directs existing appropriations to fund these claims. It ensures victims of the Cerro Pelado Fire receive assistance through the existing federal program without creating new funding.
