Opportunity Summary:

This notice describes the National Park Service's intent to make a non-competitive funding action tied to the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, specifically to support implementation of the river management plan during FY 2013. It is explicitly not a call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency posting that the NPS plans to add funds to an existing cooperative agreement rather than run a full and open competition.

The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0001 and carries the title "Notice of Intent to Award Implement River Management Plan FY 13 Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River." The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to be carried out with substantial involvement or partnership from the federal agency rather than functioning like a simple, arms-length grant. The activity category is described as "Other," clarified as implementing the River Management Plan for the Upper Delaware River.

Funding details are very specific and essentially fixed: the estimated total funding is $300,000, with an award ceiling and award floor both set at $300,000. In other words, the NPS anticipated a single award in the exact amount of $300,000, and the posting indicates there would be one expected award. The CFDA listing attached to the opportunity is 15.921, identified as Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance. A cost-sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," signaling that the recipient would be expected to contribute matching resources or share costs in some form consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement (the notice itself does not spell out the match ratio in the text provided).

In terms of eligibility, the posting does not open eligibility broadly because it is not soliciting applications. The recipient is identified as Upper Delaware Council, Inc. (UDC), and the notice states the recipient is a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status. The purpose of the notice is to document that the NPS intends to provide additional funding through a modification to an already existing cooperative agreement with UDC, and to do so without full and open competition.

The public posting timeline reflects the administrative nature of the announcement. It was posted and created on August 22, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 27, 2012, and an archive date of August 28, 2012. These dates function more as a notice period for public record rather than a window for submitting applications.

For anyone needing the full details, the notice points readers to an attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. For access issues or administrative questions about the announcement itself, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist with the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
