Alaska Accelerated Land Tansfer | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Alaska Accelerated Land Transfer grant opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on speeding up and managing the complex land title conveyance process in Alaska. Its central aim is to help BLM meet an accelerated schedule for transferring land titles to the State of Alaska, Alaska Native Corporations, and other private individuals. In practical terms, the funding supports work that keeps large-scale conveyances moving on time by improving coordination, updating priorities, and refining the planning needed to complete title transfers efficiently and correctly.

This opportunity is described as a renewal of an existing agreement, meaning it continues an ongoing partnership rather than starting a brand-new program from scratch. Under the renewed agreement, the State of Alaska is expected to keep re-evaluating and revising conveyance priorities tied to the state land entitlement selection process, while also reviewing land management patterns. That kind of work typically involves analyzing which parcels should move first, identifying conflicts or overlaps, checking status and boundaries, and ensuring that conveyance actions line up with legal requirements and current land management objectives. The overall intent is to reduce delays and administrative bottlenecks that can slow land title transfers.

A specific emphasis is placed on accelerating the re-conveyance process: certain lands previously conveyed to the State of Alaska may need to be conveyed back to BLM so BLM can then re-convey them to Native Allotment applicants. This highlights a key administrative reality in Alaska land transactions: land can move through multiple hands (or legal jurisdictions) to reach the correct final recipient, and the grant is meant to help make that multi-step pathway faster and more orderly. The work supported by the agreement therefore directly contributes to clearing and processing land status so allotment applicants can receive their intended conveyances through BLM.

From an eligibility and administrative standpoint, the only eligible applicants listed are state governments, which aligns with the purpose of continuing a state-federal conveyance partnership. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, indicating BLM expects to have substantial involvement in how the project is carried out, such as collaboration on planning, priorities, deliverables, and oversight. The activity category is listed under natural resources, and the CFDA number is 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), which can reflect that conveyance and land status work often intersects with cultural and resource considerations that must be accounted for during land management and transfer actions.

The opportunity was posted on October 5, 2009, with an original and current closing date of October 23, 2009, and it was archived on November 30, 2009. The estimated total funding amount is $3,250,000, with an award floor of $450,000; the expected number of awards is not specified. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, which generally means the applicant is not required to provide a financial match to receive the federal funds, although normal cooperative agreement terms and allowable cost rules would still apply.
