Opportunity Summary:
The Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0083) is a National Park Service announcement stating that a cooperative agreement is already in place and is not open for competition. In other words, it is not a call for proposals or a request for applications. Instead, it publicly documents that the National Park Service has established a mandatory cooperative agreement with The Hudson River Valley Greenway Communities Council and the Greenway Heritage Conservancy HRV, Inc. to carry out work supporting the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area (NHA) under the authorized program framework.
The agreement provides a single expected award totaling $450,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $450,000, indicating a fixed funding amount for the designated recipient(s). The funding falls under CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance, and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically means the federal agency anticipates substantial involvement or partnership during performance compared to a standard grant. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the terms of the agreement.
The core purpose of the funded work is to support the National Heritage Area in a way that aligns with the enabling legislation and the FY2013 workplan. The Council and Conservancy commit to implementing the approved management plan in a collaborative way that brings in local governments, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit partners, reflecting the NHA model of coordinated regional stewardship rather than a single-site park approach. The work is also intended to encourage economic viability in ways that remain consistent with the heritage area mission, meaning the agreement supports heritage-based community development, tourism, interpretation, conservation, and related initiatives without drifting away from the NHA purposes.
The notice also highlights compliance obligations that come with federal financial assistance and partnership work. The recipients agree to comply with applicable state and federal laws, explicitly including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), which commonly require environmental review and consideration of impacts to historic and cultural resources when federally supported activities could affect them.
Administrative details in the posting show it was posted and created on July 29, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2013, and an archive date of August 3, 2013. Those dates function more as a recordkeeping window for the public notice rather than an application deadline, since the award was not solicited competitively. Although the general eligibility field references 501(c)(3) nonprofits, the eligibility language and repeated description make clear that this particular action is reserved for the named organizations because the cooperative agreement had already been established.
