Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Nevada SNPLMA Parks Trails and Natural Areas Projects, Round 15 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00043) is a discretionary funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM). It supports implementation of projects that were already approved under Round 15 of the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA), specifically within the Parks, Trails and Natural Areas (PTNA) category. In practical terms, the funding is intended to help carry out on-the-ground development and improvements to parks, trails, and natural areas located in Clark County and Lincoln County, Nevada. The expenditures for these projects come from the SNPLMA Special Account, with the Secretary of the Interior approving the estimated expenditures on January 6, 2016, establishing the formal authorization to move forward with funding and implementation.
The award mechanism for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more hands-on partnership model between the federal agency and the recipient compared to a standard grant. Under this structure, recipients generally coordinate closely with BLM during project delivery, which can include federal involvement in planning, technical review, compliance processes, or other aspects of execution tied to public lands, recreation infrastructure, and natural resource objectives.
Eligible applicants are limited to local governmental entities: county governments, city or township governments, and special district governments. This eligibility scope signals that the program is designed for public-sector sponsors that plan, build, and maintain community infrastructure such as trail systems, park amenities, and protected or managed natural areas, particularly in fast-growing or high-use areas of southern Nevada.
Key funding details include an award ceiling of $1,606,688 and an expected total of five awards. The opportunity was created and posted on April 4, 2016, and the application deadline (both original and current) was June 9, 2016. The CFDA number associated with this funding is 15.235, which corresponds to DOI assistance tied to SNPLMA-related purposes. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an implementation-focused funding round: it is not primarily for proposing brand-new concepts, but for executing specific, previously approved PTNA projects intended to expand or enhance parks, trails, and natural areas for public benefit in Clark and Lincoln Counties.
