Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "FOGRMA Cooperative Agreements with States and Tribes" (Funding Opportunity Number M10AS00001) is a federal cooperative agreement program aimed at strengthening oversight of oil and gas royalty management on mineral production occurring within eligible state and tribal boundaries. It is grounded in the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act (FOGRMA) of 1982, as amended, and it specifically supports states and federally recognized tribes that qualify under that law to partner with the former Minerals Management Service (MMS) to carry out audit work and related investigative activities. The program is administered by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, and the regulatory framework referenced in the announcement is found at 30 CFR parts 227 and 228.
At its core, the opportunity funds state and tribal efforts to examine whether mineral producers and payors are properly reporting and paying royalties, rents, bonuses, and other revenues owed from federal and certain Indian mineral leases, as applicable. The supported work includes conducting audits and "related investigations" of mineral-producing properties located within the applicant's jurisdictional boundaries. In practical terms, this can involve reviewing company records, verifying production and sales volumes, testing valuation and allowable deductions, and pursuing leads that indicate potential underpayment or noncompliance. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, it implies substantial federal involvement and coordination during performance, meaning the federal agency and the state or tribe are expected to work closely on planning, execution, and reporting.
The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number 15.427, "Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management State and Tribal Coordination." The announcement anticipated up to 18 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0 in the source data, which typically indicates that specific award sizes were not fixed in the public synopsis and may vary based on scope, eligibility, and available appropriations rather than being constrained by a published minimum or maximum.
Eligibility is limited to two applicant types: state governments and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The program does not require cost sharing or matching, so applicants are not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The posting date and creation date were April 15, 2010, and the application closing date was March 14, 2011, with the opportunity archived on April 13, 2011. This timeline indicates it was an open, time-limited funding announcement intended to support a defined cycle of cooperative agreements under the FOGRMA framework.
For applicants or interested parties who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Sherri Glover, Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer at MMS, reachable by phone at 303-231-3936.
