To amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to authorize the President to provide certain fire management assistance to Indian Tribal Governments, and for other purposes.

HR 3957 amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief Act to directly authorize Indian Tribal Governments to request fire management assistance from the President, rather than requiring them to go through state governments. The bill allows tribal leaders (Chief Executives) to submit requests directly to the President for fire-related disaster aid, which would be processed through FEMA. It also requires the President to update federal regulations within one year, clarifying that tribes can receive aid directly or through state requests, while mandating government-to-government consultation with tribes during rulemaking. This change ensures tribal governments have a clear, direct pathway to access federal fire management resources during emergencies.
