Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM NV District Office SNPLMA - SNPLMA Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Projects under Round 12" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00021) is a Bureau of Land Management cooperative agreement that supports conservation work tied to the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA). SNPLMA, enacted in October 1998 (Public Law 105-263, as amended), is the legal framework that allows BLM to sell certain public lands within a defined boundary around Las Vegas, Nevada. Instead of those sales simply going into general federal accounts, SNPLMA sets up a structured revenue distribution model and dedicates a substantial portion of the proceeds to specific public-benefit purposes, including habitat conservation planning efforts such as the Multi Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP).
At the core of this opportunity is the use of SNPLMA land-sale revenue to fund projects that align with the MSHCP component of the law. While SNPLMA covers a wide range of eligible project types, this particular Round 12 notice focuses on MSHCP-related work, which generally involves conserving habitats and species in southern Nevada through coordinated planning and on-the-ground actions. The broader SNPLMA categories that can receive funding (and that contextualize why this program exists) include parks, trails, and natural areas; capital improvements; conservation initiatives; multi-species habitat conservation plans; environmentally sensitive land acquisitions; and Lake Tahoe Restoration Act projects. In addition to funding categories, SNPLMA also includes procedural directions for land sales and acquisitions, requires BLM to convey title of land in the McCarran Airport noise zone to Clark County, and authorizes the sale of land intended for affordable housing, showing that the statute is designed to balance growth, infrastructure, and conservation outcomes in a rapidly developing region.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this Round 12 opportunity was posted on April 24, 2012 and had a very short application window, closing on April 30, 2012, with an archive date of May 30, 2012. The total estimated funding available under the announcement was $92,000, with an award ceiling of $92,000 and an award floor of $42,000. BLM anticipated making 2 awards. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance compared to a standard grant. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants were not required by the notice to provide non-federal match to be eligible or competitive under the basic terms provided.
Eligibility for this opportunity was limited to government entities: county governments, city or township governments, and state governments. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.235, "Southern Nevada Public Land Management," which is the federal assistance listing that corresponds to SNPLMA-based financial assistance. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation clarifying that it is specifically tied to the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act of 1998 as amended, rather than fitting neatly into a more generic federal assistance category.
