Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) opportunity titled "BLM WY Cooperative Fire and Fuels Reduction" (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00099) is a discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support work that reduces wildfire risk in Wyoming. The stated purpose is straightforward: mitigate fire hazards on BLM-managed lands and on adjacent lands where hazardous fuels and wildfire threats overlap across boundaries. In practical terms, the project focus is on fuels reduction and related hazard mitigation actions that help lower the likelihood of severe wildfire and improve outcomes for communities and natural resources, particularly in areas tied to the National Fire Plan and wildland-urban interface community fire assistance priorities.
This opportunity was categorized under Natural Resources and was expected to result in a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $125,000. The announcement lists no minimum or maximum award amount (Award Floor and Award Ceiling are both shown as 0), which typically signals that the final award size and structure would be defined by the proposal scope and the agency's selection decision rather than a preset range in the summary fields. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants could still choose to leverage additional resources if it strengthened the project approach.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might appear in the full announcement package. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BLM anticipated substantial involvement in the project beyond what is typical for a standard grant, such as coordination on planning, implementation, or oversight during the period of performance.
The opportunity was posted and created on April 24, 2015, and the application deadline (original and current) was June 23, 2015. The announcement was archived on July 15, 2015, indicating it is no longer open for applications.
