Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00358) is a discretionary Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service program action intended to support the Yurok Tribe's work on water and fisheries issues in the Klamath Basin. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.608 (Natural Resources), reflecting that the federal agency expects to be involved in carrying out or overseeing aspects of the funded work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
The purpose of the funding is narrowly focused: it is meant to help the Yurok Tribe continue efforts to address and resolve long-running water-related conflicts in the Klamath Basin, especially disputes tied to water availability and the resulting impacts on fisheries. In addition to supporting the Tribe's participation and work, the award is also described as helping the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service meet its tribal trust responsibilities to the Yurok Tribe, which is a key federal obligation in many tribal natural resource matters.
This opportunity is tied to a specific policy and negotiation context. The Secretary of the Interior signed agreements on April 6, 2016 that call on Klamath Basin stakeholders to engage in good-faith efforts over the following year to resolve water disputes. The notice indicates that these activities were expected to take place through 2016 and 2017 and potentially beyond, depending on how the negotiations and conflict-resolution efforts progressed. The underlying goal is to reduce or resolve entrenched basin-wide conflicts where competing water demands intersect with the health of fish populations and broader ecosystem conditions.
Administratively, the notice is not a broad open competition. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to the Yurok Tribe, and eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $50,000. The opportunity was posted July 19, 2016, with an original closing date of July 25, 2016, consistent with the fact that it was a targeted, single-recipient action rather than a general solicitation.
The legal authority cited for making the award is the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as amended (16 U.S.C. 742a-742j), which is a foundational statute supporting federal activities to conserve and manage fish and wildlife resources. In practical terms, this authority is being used here to fund collaborative, basin-scale conflict-resolution and management assistance work that centers tribal participation and addresses fisheries impacts linked to water management decisions in the Klamath Basin.
