NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This notice is a formal public announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) stating its intent to make a single, specific award related to the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area. It is not an open call for proposals and should not be read as an opportunity for new applicants to compete for funding. Instead, it functions as a transparency and compliance step to inform the public that the National Park Service plans to fund identified project activities through a non-competitive process, meaning the agency does not intend to solicit or evaluate multiple applications under full and open competition for this particular action.

The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the work rather than simply providing a grant and stepping back. The funding activity category is regional development, aligning with the typical purpose of National Heritage Area investments, which often support place-based initiatives such as heritage preservation, interpretation and education, community revitalization tied to cultural resources, tourism development connected to historic and natural assets, and partnership-driven programming. The associated CFDA number is 15.939, a catalog listing used to classify federal assistance programs and help the public track the type of federal funding involved.

Key administrative details show that this announcement was posted and created on April 4, 2016, with a closing date of April 13, 2016. In notices like this, the closing date generally reflects the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline in the usual sense, since the announcement explicitly states it is not requesting applications. The National Park Service indicates it expects to make one award, with an award ceiling of $130,343, meaning the planned federal funding amount for the intended cooperative agreement would not exceed that figure. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the clarification that additional eligibility information would appear in the full text of the announcement; in practice, non-competitive intent-to-award notices of this type commonly correspond to a known partner or designated local coordinating entity connected to the National Heritage Area.

Overall, the practical takeaway is that this listing is primarily informational. It signals that the National Park Service intends to directly support Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area-related work through a single cooperative agreement, without running an open competition. Anyone searching for funding opportunities should understand that this particular posting is not inviting proposals, but rather documenting the agency's intention to proceed with a specific funding action and providing public notice of that decision.
