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 "Johnstown Flood Museum Restoration, Interpretation, Operation, and Maintenance" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0056. This notice is strictly a public announcement of the agency's intention to make an award and is not a competitive grant solicitation or a request for applications. In practical terms, it means the NPS is signaling ahead of time that it plans to fund a specific partner for a specific set of activities, rather than opening the opportunity up for other organizations to apply.
The planned funding will be issued through a cooperative agreement, reflecting an arrangement where the federal agency is expected to have substantial involvement in the supported work rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The agreement identified in the notice is Cooperative Agreement P13AC00484, and the intended recipient is the Johnstown Area Heritage Association, a nonprofit organization. The core purpose of the project is to provide financial assistance to support the Johnstown Flood Museum through restoration-related work and ongoing public-facing functions, including interpretation (educational and historical presentation), operations, and maintenance.
This action is described as a sole-source award, meaning the NPS does not plan to conduct "full and open competition" for this funding. The justification given is legislative intent: Public Law 99-388 (100 Stat. 825), specifically section 4(b)(2), authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to enter into an agreement with the Johnstown Area Heritage Association to provide assistance to mark, restore, interpret, operate, and maintain the Johnstown Flood Museum. Because this authority names the partner organization in law, the award is limited to that entity rather than being broadly competed among eligible nonprofits.
The notice lists the program affiliation as CFDA 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education. The financial details are straightforward: the estimated total funding is $42,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $42,000, indicating the NPS anticipated making one award at that exact amount. The announcement also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources in support of the project, consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement and applicable NPS policies.
Eligibility is narrowly defined and essentially predetermined by the sole-source structure. While the general eligible applicant category is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear that this specific award is intended only for the Johnstown Area Heritage Association. The posting date and creation date are both June 24, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2013, and an archive date of June 29, 2013. Those dates function more as administrative markers for public notice than as an application window, since the announcement is not inviting proposals.

For access issues or questions specifically about retrieving the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
