Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), under the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Appalachian Trail: FY16 ATC Repair Rehab Maintenance." This notice is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning it is not a competitive grant solicitation and the agency is not inviting the public to submit proposals. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that NPS plans to fund specific project work through a direct award made without full and open competition.
The planned award would be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s execution (for example, coordinating priorities, approving work plans, or providing technical guidance), rather than simply issuing funding with minimal federal participation. The activity category is listed as "Other," signaling that the work does not neatly fit common standard categories and is further explained in the official supporting documentation referenced on Grants.gov. Based on the title and description, the work focuses on repair, rehabilitation, and maintenance activities associated with the Appalachian Trail during fiscal year 2016, with "ATC" in the title pointing to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy as the likely partner organization involved in carrying out or coordinating the work.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "NPS 16 NERO 0166" and is associated with CFDA number 15.935, which corresponds to NPS financial assistance programs. The notice was created on August 22, 2016, and lists an original closing date of September 1, 2016. In the context of a notice of intent (rather than an open competition), this date functions more like an administrative posting window or the end of the public notice period than a deadline for applications. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this is a single, planned, non-competitive cooperative agreement rather than a multi-award competitive program.
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $438,941, which represents the maximum anticipated federal funding level for the intended agreement. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the details deferred to additional eligibility information in the related official documents. The posting also directs readers to the "Related Documents" section for the complete justification and specifics, and to Grants.gov support resources for help with navigation and general grants information, while emphasizing that the announcement itself is primarily about transparency regarding a planned award rather than soliciting new applicants.
