Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Abandoned Mine Lands Inventory on Lands to be Conveyed, Alaska statewide" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00168) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is focused on natural resource and environmental management, specifically supporting a statewide effort in Alaska to identify, locate, and document hazards associated with abandoned mine lands on parcels that are in the process of being conveyed to the State of Alaska. In practical terms, the project is intended to create or strengthen a hazard inventory so that dangerous legacy mining features on soon-to-be state lands are known, recorded, and can be prioritized for future response, mitigation, or public safety actions.
The assistance instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The work is described as a statewide hazard inventory, meaning it is not limited to a single district or region within Alaska. The emphasis is on lands "waiting to be conveyed" to the State, which signals that the inventory is meant to support an orderly transfer of land responsibilities by ensuring that mine-related hazards are identified before or as ownership and management responsibilities shift.
Funding under this opportunity is structured for a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The award amounts are defined with a floor and ceiling: awards are expected to fall between $87,400 (Award Floor) and $387,400 (Award Ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so eligible applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. The program is listed under CFDA 15.236, categorized under Environmental Quality and Protection and Resource Management, reinforcing that the core purpose is environmental and public safety-related resource stewardship rather than mineral development.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, indicating that the State of Alaska (and potentially its relevant agencies or departments) is the intended applicant. The posting and application timeline for the opportunity shows it was posted on July 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 26, 2010, and it was later archived on August 31, 2010. This indicates the solicitation window was relatively short and that the opportunity is historical rather than currently open, at least under this specific listing.

The listed point of contact for access issues or questions about the full announcement is Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 907-271-5193 or email at s2smith@blm.gov (Lotus Notes referenced).
