Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "List of Classified Structures (LCS) and Cultural Landscapes Inventory (CLI) Documentation." This notice is meant to publicly announce NPS's plan to fund specific work, and it is explicitly not a request for applications or a competitive solicitation. In other words, the agency is not asking new applicants to apply; it is notifying the public that it plans to move forward with a particular partner and a defined set of activities.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00410 and falls under the discretionary category, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the project rather than simply providing a grant and stepping back. The project is being implemented through Task Agreement P16AC01288 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P15AC00031) with the Student Conservation Association, indicating that the partner relationship and administrative framework were already established and that this action is an additional, specific task under that broader agreement.
The work itself centers on documentation for two core NPS cultural resource inventory systems: the List of Classified Structures (LCS) and the Cultural Landscapes Inventory (CLI). In general terms, LCS documentation focuses on cataloging and describing historic and significant built structures managed by the NPS, while CLI documentation focuses on identifying and recording landscapes with cultural significance. These inventories support preservation planning, compliance needs, maintenance prioritization, and long-term stewardship by ensuring that accurate information exists about the condition, significance, and characteristics of structures and landscapes within the national park system.
The funding activity is categorized under Humanities (with reference to Cultural Affairs) and also marked as "Other" with clarification noted in the opportunity text. The associated CFDA number is 15.931, which corresponds to NPS-authorized assistance programs. The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the notice format and the stated intent to fund the work through a specific task agreement with a specific partner. The award ceiling is listed as $80,837, which effectively represents the maximum anticipated federal funding amount for this action.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but because this notice is not open for applications, that eligibility statement functions more as a standard listing rather than an invitation for new submissions. The notice was created on July 28, 2016, and the "closing date" field reiterates that there is no application deadline because the agency is not conducting an open competition for this effort.
