Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Cooperating Technical Partner (CTP) Region 10 opportunity is a FEMA discretionary funding announcement designed to strengthen the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by expanding and improving partnerships among federal, state, tribal, regional, and local entities. The core purpose is practical: reduce flood losses and improve community resilience by supporting the development, upkeep, and communication of flood risk information, including Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and related flood hazard and risk products. FEMA uses the CTP Program to increase local involvement and ownership of flood mapping and risk data so that communities are better equipped to understand their flood hazards, manage development in flood-prone areas, and take steps to mitigate risk.
Funding is provided through cooperative agreements under CFDA 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). For this Region 10 cycle, FEMA anticipated making about 8 awards with an estimated total funding level of $1,620,000. The announcement lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, and it does not specify award floor or ceiling amounts (both shown as 0), which typically means funding levels are determined by FEMA based on project scope, priorities, and available funds rather than a preset minimum or maximum per award. The posting date was July 1, 2014, with an application deadline of August 18, 2014, and the opportunity was archived on September 18, 2014.
The work supported by this program is broad but focused on flood risk management capacity. Projects can include program management activities, technical flood risk analysis, flood mapping and map maintenance tasks, and communicating flood hazard and risk information to stakeholders. The intent is to help NFIP state coordinating agencies and participating NFIP communities continue meeting their ongoing regulatory responsibilities while also improving the quality, accessibility, and usefulness of flood risk data for planning, mitigation, and public understanding. FEMA may also provide non-financial support such as technical assistance, training, and data to help partners carry out project activities effectively. Importantly, FEMA views CTP awards as additive to what partners already bring to the table; the program expects CTPs to leverage existing capabilities, resources, and data rather than relying entirely on federal funding to build a program from scratch.
Eligibility is limited to qualified CTP partners. To receive an award, an applicant must already be a Cooperating Technical Partner with a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA Headquarters or a FEMA Regional Office. In addition, the applicant must either be (or represent) an NFIP community in good standing, or be a FEMA-approved nonprofit whose primary mission supports NFIP goals. Applicants must also have existing non-federally funded processes or systems that support flood hazard and risk data collection, development, evaluation, dissemination, and communication. FEMA is looking for organizations that can demonstrate the capability to perform the proposed work, meet CTP Program performance metrics, and provide timely and accurate performance reporting.
A key operational requirement involves FEMA mapping systems. When applicable, CTPs must agree to perform work in FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and keep activities updated at least every 30 days within the Studies Workflow, with more frequent updates expected for the Revisions Workflow. This reflects FEMA's emphasis on transparency, project tracking, and consistent progress documentation across mapping and risk analysis activities. Applicants are also encouraged to coordinate with FEMA before applying to confirm priorities, objectives, measures, and specific tasks to be included in the proposed scope of work. Once awarded, recipients must comply with the announcement requirements, the award's terms and conditions, and the existing Partnership Agreement along with the FEMA-approved Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement.
Eligible applicant types listed include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the controlling condition is FEMA approval as a CTP partner, meaning an entity must meet the CTP partnership and capability requirements rather than simply falling into an eligible organization category.
The administering agency is the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The funding opportunity number is DHS-14-MT-045-010-01. For reference and program background, FEMA provided an additional information link to the CTP program webpage (http://www.fema.gov/cooperating-technical-partners-program/cooperating-technical-partners-program). For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was FEMA's GMD Systems Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
