Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) decision to fund a specific project related to implementing Pennsylvania Act 24 along the Appalachian Trail, and it is being posted strictly as a public transparency step rather than as a competitive grant opportunity. The announcement makes it explicit that this is not a request for applications and that there is no open competition for the funding. Instead, NPS is signaling its intent to make a single, pre-identified award under an existing cooperative framework.
The funding will be issued through a Cooperative Agreement, using Task Agreement P13AC00961, and it will be awarded to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy under an already-established Cooperative Agreement (H0500000002/P11AC90861). In practical terms, that means NPS is extending or implementing a defined scope of work with a known partner rather than soliciting new proposals from the public. The notice is categorized as a discretionary funding action tied to CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects, which is the federal assistance program that generally supports projects related to the National Trails System.
Financially, the opportunity is structured as a single award with a total estimated funding amount of $190,000. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $190,000, indicating the amount is fixed rather than a range. The notice also states that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the document clarifies that this is a single-source award to a nonprofit entity, meaning the eligibility statement is largely informational and does not imply that other nonprofits can apply for this particular funding action. The timeline shown (posted July 23, 2013; closing July 28, 2013; archived July 29, 2013) reflects the administrative window for posting the intent notice, not an application period, since applications are not being accepted.
For anyone seeking the finer details of what “Pennsylvania Act 24 Implementation” entails within this task agreement, the notice directs readers to the attachment available through the “Full Announcement” link on Grants.gov, which would typically include the specific project activities, deliverables, and justifications for using a non-competitive process. The point of contact for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
