Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Fire Management Plan Development and Implementation at the Natural Scenic Recreation Area, McGee Creek Project, Oklahoma" (Funding Opportunity Number R11SS60010), was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region. It is a discretionary grant focused on recreation and fire management needs within the Natural Scenic Recreation Area (NSRA) associated with the McGee Creek Project in Oklahoma. The core purpose is to fund the development and on-the-ground implementation of a Fire Management Plan (FMP) designed to guide prescribed burning and related wildland fire management activities across roughly 10,000 acres. The underlying problem the opportunity addresses is that Reclamation, as the managing federal agency for the site, does not have the internal expertise or staffing resources needed to conduct the prescribed fire work required to maintain the NSRA and reduce the risk of an uncontrolled wildfire.
The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000 and an award ceiling of $150,000 (no stated minimum, with an award floor of $0). Cost sharing or matching is not required, which means applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as Recreation/Fire Management, and the associated CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 15.524, Recreation Resources Management. Eligibility is described as "Others," with additional detail indicating that eligible applicants are Reclamation managing partners, implying the award was intended for a specific partner entity or a limited set of partner organizations rather than being broadly open to the general public or all nonprofit and governmental applicants.
Functionally, the grant was structured to leverage Forestry's specialized capabilities in wildland fire management. In practical terms, that typically includes planning, coordinating, and conducting prescribed burns; developing operational protocols and safety measures; ensuring compliance with relevant environmental and land management requirements; and implementing strategies that reduce hazardous fuels and help maintain ecosystem conditions in a recreation-focused landscape. The grant reflects a common approach in federal land and water project management where the federal agency retains overall responsibility for the area but relies on a qualified partner to carry out specialized, high-risk operational work like prescribed fire.
Key dates show this was a time-limited, archived opportunity: it was posted and created on July 15, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 1, 2011, and an archive date of August 2, 2011. For applicant support and administrative questions, the listed contact was Lindsey Nafts, Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 406-247-7684, with the note that assistance was available for those who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
