Opportunity Summary:
The Fisheries and Ecological Services grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00166) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Region 7 discretionary grant intended to support U.S. obligations under the Yukon River Salmon Agreement between the United States and Canada. The core purpose is to provide funding to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) so it can collect and develop the information needed to meet conservation and management commitments tied to Yukon River salmon that originate in Canada but migrate through and are harvested in U.S. waters. This information is meant to strengthen management decisions so the United States can reliably ensure the agreed-upon number of salmon pass into Canada at the border, while also avoiding unnecessarily restrictive harvest limits in Alaska when they are not needed.
The opportunity is structured as a single-source award, meaning USFWS planned to transfer funds through one Grant Agreement to ADF&G rather than run a competitive process. The justification for naming ADF&G is rooted in federal law: the Yukon River Salmon Act (16 USC 5724) identifies ADF&G as the responsible U.S. management entity for any agreement with Canada involving salmon stocks originating from the Yukon River in Canada. In practical terms, ADF&G is positioned to perform the stock assessment and management-support work required to implement the treaty commitments. The grant is also backed by 16 USC 5727, which authorizes funding to the Department of the Interior to obtain the types of data and information necessary for fulfilling those treaty-related responsibilities.
This funding traces directly to the Yukon River Salmon Agreement signed in December 2002 as an annex to the Pacific Salmon Treaty. Under that agreement, the United States takes on financial, conservation, and management responsibilities related to Canadian-origin Yukon River salmon. Meeting those responsibilities depends on improved and ongoing knowledge of stock status, run timing, abundance, and related indicators that inform in-season and long-term management. The opportunity notes that appropriations for treaty implementation are made annually to USFWS under the Yukon River Salmon Act to help meet U.S. financial obligations and to bolster understanding of Canadian-origin salmon so that commitments to Canada can be met in a scientifically defensible way.
In terms of funding details, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $1,921,705, with an award floor of $321,705 and an award ceiling of $400,000, and it anticipated a single award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicant category is limited to state governments, consistent with the intent to award directly to the State of Alaska through ADF&G. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance), and the activity category is Environment and Natural Resources.
Key dates reflect a short application window typical of single-source transfers. The opportunity was posted and created on May 21, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 4, 2013, and an archive date of May 31, 2014. The description also notes that the most recent agreement referenced was set to expire on June 30, 2013, underscoring the time-sensitive nature of supporting treaty implementation and associated management activities during that period.
For applicants and stakeholders seeking official documentation, the notice provided an additional information link to a USFWS Alaska website hosting the NOFA PDF. The listed point of contact for access issues was Katherine Smiley, Contracting Officer/Grants Agreements Officer, at 907-786-3412 and KatherineSmiley@fws.gov.
