Opportunity Summary:

The grant listing titled "Ebeys Landing National Historical Reserve Operations" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00016) is not an open or competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it functions as a formal Notice of Intent from the National Park Service (NPS) to make a single, mandatory award to a specific entity: the Trust Board of Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve. The Trust Board is made up of local and county government representatives and operates under an Interlocal Agreement, consistent with legislative intent and the Department of the Interior policy reference cited as 505 DM 2. In practical terms, this notice is a public administrative step documenting that NPS plans to provide annually appropriated federal funds to support the ongoing operations and management of the Reserve, rather than inviting applications from the general public or a broad pool of eligible organizations.

This action is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the funded activities compared to a standard grant. The activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as operational funding for Ebey's Landing managed by the Trust Board. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). Only one award is anticipated, reflecting that the intended recipient is predetermined. Although the "Eligible Applicants" field references county governments, the context makes clear this is directed to the established Trust Board arrangement rather than a competitive process where multiple counties submit proposals.

The notice also explains the funding status for fiscal year 2014. At the time of posting, the amount immediately available for obligation was $49,000, based on the Continuing Resolution passed by Congress. The notice states that the remaining funds would be transferred after Congress enacted the final budget for FY 2014. The estimated total funding for the full award is listed as $169,000, which also appears as the award ceiling, while the award floor corresponds to the currently available $49,000. Cost sharing or matching is marked as required, indicating the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources or otherwise meet specified match requirements as part of the agreement terms.

Key dates show the notice was posted and created on December 9, 2013, with an original and current closing date of December 13, 2013, and an archive date of January 12, 2014. These dates should be understood more as procedural publication and recordkeeping milestones than as a real application window, since the announcement explicitly states it is not a funding opportunity open for competition. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Susan Velie, Contract Specialist at Olympic National Park, reachable by phone at 360-565-3114.
