Opportunity Summary:
The National Heritage Area Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P12AS10010) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award funding for an existing, ongoing project rather than an open competition. In other words, it is not a request for applications and is published mainly to inform the public that the NPS plans to provide support through a cooperative agreement under the authority of Public Law 111-11, Section 8010. The project is titled "National Heritage Area Support" and is tied specifically to the Kenai Mountains Turnagain Arm National Heritage Area, which Congress established in 2009 through the same law.
The anticipated award is a single cooperative agreement in the amount of $147,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $147,000, meaning the funding level is fixed for this action. The NPS lists one expected award and identifies the intended cooperator as the Kenai Mountain Turnagain Arm Corridor Communities Association. The assistance is associated with CFDA number 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance) and falls under the environment activity category. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources in addition to the federal amount, consistent with the terms set out in the agreement and relevant statutory requirements.
Programmatically, the funding supports continued implementation of responsibilities created by the establishing legislation. A central requirement in Public Law 111-11, Section 8010 is the development of a management plan for the National Heritage Area and securing the Secretary of the Interior's approval of that plan within three years of the area receiving its initial funding. The notice indicates that the planned federal support is part of an ongoing effort to meet those statutory obligations, and it points to the legislation for the required elements that must be addressed in the management plan.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on May 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 1, 2012, and an archive date of July 1, 2012. Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), although the announcement itself makes clear that this particular posting is not soliciting applications because it is tied to a continuation award for a named partner organization. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Tina Spengler, Financial Assistance Agreement Officer, at 907-644-3303.
