Opportunity Summary:
The "Inventory of FLTFA Lands" funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM ID NOI 09 0819) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, aimed at supporting natural resource management work tied to the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA). The core purpose of the project is to research, identify, and catalog specific public lands that may be suitable for disposal (meaning potential sale or transfer out of federal ownership under applicable authorities) in a way that supports local community growth while also improving public recreation opportunities and access. In practical terms, the work is about building a clearer, better-documented inventory of lands that could be made available to the public or otherwise repositioned to benefit communities, while helping land managers and stakeholders understand what parcels exist, what constraints or opportunities they have, and how they might be prioritized.
This opportunity was posted and created on February 24, 2009, with an application closing date of March 10, 2009, and it was later archived on April 10, 2009. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) anticipated making a single award under this announcement. Total funding for the project was set at $32,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor were also $32,000, indicating the grant amount was fixed rather than a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations that have IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The listing identifies the activity category as Natural Resources and includes CFDA number 15.239 (Management Initiatives), which broadly signals that the work aligns with federal land and resource management priorities rather than construction or direct service delivery.
Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, the project would typically be structured with substantial involvement from the federal agency compared to a standard grant. That generally means the BLM would expect to participate in project direction, coordination, or technical review as the inventory and cataloging work is performed, ensuring the final outputs meet federal standards and can be used for decision-making related to land disposal, community planning, and recreation/access improvements.
