Opportunity Summary:
This notice, issued by the National Park Service (NPS), is a mandatory cooperative agreement announcement for the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor and is not an open call for applications. In other words, no new proposals were being solicited and no competitive selection was underway. The posting simply serves to publicly document that a single award had already been made to Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, Inc., a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status, to support its ongoing work as the local coordinating entity for the National Heritage Area (NHA).
The total award amount is fixed at $610,000 (with the award floor and ceiling both listed as $610,000), and the opportunity indicates that cost sharing or matching is required. The assistance is tied to CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance). The funding is intended to support activities laid out in the FY15 work plan and to advance implementation of the Corridor's Management Plan in a way that aligns with the enabling legislation and the specific terms of the agreement between the recipient and NPS.
The announcement outlines several core obligations for the funded organization. First, the recipient must use the funds to support the NHA consistent with the authorizing legislation and the FY15 work plan. Second, the organization is responsible for implementing the approved Management Plan according to both the agreement terms and the legislation governing the heritage area. Third, the recipient must hold public meetings at least twice per year to discuss progress and issues related to Management Plan implementation, reinforcing ongoing community engagement and transparency. Fourth, the organization must comply with all applicable state and federal requirements, specifically calling out compliance with major federal statutes such as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Fifth, the recipient is expected to prepare any required compliance documentation for review and approval by NPS and/or relevant state authorities, which typically supports environmental review, historic preservation review, and other regulatory approvals tied to federally assisted activities.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number NPS 15 NERO 0042, a posted and created date of May 8, 2015, and a listed closing date of May 17, 2015 (followed by an archive date of May 18, 2015).
