Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Idaho Environmental Regulatory Compliance and Support Partnership (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00255) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant opportunity designed to support state-level regulatory oversight and environmental compliance work on lands managed by the BLM in Idaho. Framed as a partnership, it focused on helping ensure that activities occurring on BLM-managed public lands meet applicable environmental quality and protection requirements, with the state providing oversight functions that complement BLM land and resource management responsibilities. The underlying purpose, as stated, was straightforward: provide support for state regulatory oversight on Idaho BLM managed lands, which typically involves coordination, monitoring, and compliance support tied to natural resource management and environmental protection obligations.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a closer working relationship between the federal agency and the recipient than a standard grant, often including substantial involvement by the agency during performance. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing associated with the opportunity was 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management. Only state governments were eligible to apply, reflecting the program's intent to fund state regulatory roles rather than private organizations, local governments, or individuals.
Financially, the announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $350,000 and anticipated making one award. The award ceiling was $166,422, and the award floor was $0, meaning proposals could be submitted for amounts up to the cap, with no minimum award size specified. The announcement stated that no cost sharing or matching was required, so applicants were not obligated to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on August 20, 2012, with creation dated September 5, 2012. The original closing date was September 4, 2012, and the current closing date was listed as September 5, 2012, indicating the deadline shifted by a day. The archive date was November 4, 2012, meaning it is no longer open and is retained for record purposes.
Applicants were directed to use the application tab in the online system to download the full announcement, instructions, and application package, implying that detailed scope, required deliverables, reporting expectations, period of performance, and evaluation criteria were contained in the full downloadable materials. For technical issues accessing the announcement, the point of contact was Christine K. Shaver, Grants Management Officer at the BLM, reachable at (208) 373-3817 or via email at cshaver@blm.gov.
