Opportunity Summary:
The Hazard Fuel Reduction and Prescribed Fire Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00656) is a discretionary funding action from the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), focused on natural resource work related to reducing hazardous fuels and supporting prescribed fire activities. The funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is intended to be carried out with substantial involvement and coordination between the federal agency and the recipient rather than as a simple pass-through grant.
This notice is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public, and there is no competitive application process tied to this posting. Instead, the purpose of the listing is to provide public transparency that the NPS intends to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition. The award is associated with Task Agreement P16AC01844 under an existing master Cooperative Agreement P16AC00486, and the intended partner is the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE).
Eligibility is limited to state governments, which aligns with the identified recipient (CAL FIRE). The posting indicates an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $100,000. The opportunity is cataloged under CFDA number 15.948, and it was created on September 20, 2016. Because this is not a solicitation, the listed closing date reflects that applications are not being accepted.
Overall, the notice functions as a formal announcement that NPS plans to direct up to $100,000 in cooperative agreement funding to CAL FIRE for hazard fuel reduction and prescribed fire assistance activities under an already-established cooperative framework, rather than opening the work up for competitive proposals.
