Opportunity Summary:
The American Burying Beetle Mitigation Project is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity focused on protecting the American burying beetle (ABB), an endangered species, in areas where BLM operates wild horse long-term holding facilities. Several of these facilities are located within ABB habitat in Oklahoma, which means BLM must manage and operate them in a way that complies with the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Because the ABB is federally listed as endangered, BLM is required to follow habitat management guidelines that come out of formal Section 7 consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The core purpose of this funding is to mitigate potential impacts of facility operations on the beetle so the holding facilities can continue running while meeting ESA obligations.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NM NOI08 0008) is structured as a grant in the natural resources activity area and was expected to result in a single award. The total estimated funding is $200,000, with an award ceiling of $200,000 and an award floor of $40,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which typically makes participation simpler for applicants because the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any entity type), although the announcement language indicates the funding is intended to support The Nature Conservancy (TNC) specifically to carry out mitigation activities tied to the agreement described.
In practical terms, the grant is tied to an existing agreement aimed at balancing two needs at the same time: conserving the American burying beetle and maintaining the operation of BLM wild horse long-term holding facilities that overlap with ABB habitat. BLM characterizes the arrangement as a way to both improve facility operations and fulfill ESA responsibilities, implying that the mitigation work supported by the grant would reduce risk to the species and reduce compliance issues for continued facility operation. While the notice does not list specific mitigation actions, the intent is clearly to fund conservation measures that offset or reduce operational impacts to ABB habitat consistent with the outcomes of ESA Section 7 consultation with FWS.
Key administrative details include a posting date of September 12, 2008, with an original and current closing date of September 17, 2008, and an archive date of October 17, 2008, indicating this was a short submission window and is now an archived opportunity. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.229 (Wild Horse and Burro Resource Management). For access issues or assistance with the full announcement, the listed contact is Janet Huff, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 505-761-8941.
