Opportunity Summary:
The International Yukon River Salmon Panel 2012 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00135) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Region 7 funding action intended to support the management of the Yukon River Salmon Restoration and Enhancement (R and E) Fund. Even though it appears in the grant listings as a discretionary grant, it is not a competitive funding opportunity and it is not open for proposals. The notice explicitly states that it is not a request for proposals and that the government does not intend to accept applications. Instead, USFWS planned to make a single award roughly 15 days after the notice was posted.
The purpose of the award is to carry out U.S. obligations created by the Yukon River Salmon Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-450) along with authorities under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act. The underlying policy driver is the March 29, 2001 Yukon River Salmon Agreement between the United States and Canada, which established a long-term framework for conserving and allocating Yukon River salmon of Canadian origin. Under that agreement, the United States committed to contribute $1,230,000 each year to the Restoration and Enhancement Fund beginning in U.S. fiscal year 2002, and the agreement also indicates the U.S. should try to provide the contribution in the first quarter of each fiscal year. The funds are meant to pay for programs, and the directly associated research and management activities, that support restoration and enhancement of Canadian-origin salmon stocks across the Yukon River drainage.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it is single-source by design. USFWS cites two main reasons for not competing it: first, legislative intent, because the statute and the associated bilateral agreement specifically authorize and direct the U.S. annual contribution to this particular R and E Fund; and second, continuity, because the Panel has been administering these funds under cooperative agreements with USFWS since 2003. The prior agreement had expired, and USFWS indicated continued financial support was necessary to keep the Panel functioning and meeting its responsibilities under the 2000 Act and the 2001 Agreement. The agency also notes that introducing competition could disrupt or adversely affect this legislatively directed activity.
In practical terms, the intended recipient is the International Yukon River Salmon Panel (based in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory), which manages the R and E Fund and related responsibilities connected to joint U.S.-Canada salmon conservation and enhancement efforts. The funding profile in the notice is straightforward: the estimated total funding is $1,230,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $1,230,000, indicating a single fixed-size award (Expected Awards: 1). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, and the activity category is Environment and Natural Resources. Although the posting lists an "eligible applicants" category as certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education), the text makes clear the award is intended solely for the Panel and is not open for general eligibility-based competition.
The timeline provided shows the opportunity was posted on April 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 4, 2012, and an archive date of June 5, 2012. Because it was not a solicitation, these dates function more as administrative milestones for the public notice process rather than an application window for competing proposals.
For official questions, the announcement points to program and administrative contacts within USFWS. Program-related information is directed to Steve Klosiewski, Deputy Assistant Regional Director, Fisheries and Ecological Services, US Fish and Wildlife Service, 1011 East Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK 99503, phone 907-786-3523. For access issues or agreement-related matters, the notice lists Rich Primmer, Agreement Officer, 907-786-3611, richprimmer@fws.gov.
