Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement that it intends to make a single discretionary award, and it is published mainly to satisfy public transparency requirements rather than to solicit new proposals. In other words, it is not an open competition and it is not asking organizations to apply. The NPS is using the announcement to publicly document its plan to fund specific project activities tied to The Lackawanna Valley National Heritage Area without "full and open competition," which generally means the agency anticipates working with a particular partner or set of partners already identified for these activities.
The opportunity is titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - The Lackawanna Valley National Heritage Area" and is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0063. The agency is the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS), and it is categorized as a discretionary funding action. The selected funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, collaborating on planning, coordination, approvals, or technical assistance), as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient typically has more independent control over day-to-day execution.
The activity category is labeled "Regional Development," and the program is associated with CFDA number 15.939 (a National Park Service assistance listing). The notice indicates the NPS expects to make one award, with an anticipated maximum funding amount (award ceiling) of $427,000. Because the notice is not competitive, the "closing date" listed (June 10, 2016) functions more like an administrative marker for the public notice period rather than a true application deadline in the usual sense.
On eligibility, the listing states "Others" and points to an additional eligibility clarification field (not included in the text provided). In practice, notices like this often correspond to an intended recipient that is already closely tied to the heritage area organization or management entity. The posting and creation dates are both May 31, 2016, indicating it was published and logged at the end of May 2016 to announce the planned award action.
Overall, the key takeaway is that this is an informational notice: the NPS is signaling its intent to fund project activities associated with The Lackawanna Valley National Heritage Area through a cooperative agreement, up to $427,000, with one expected award, and without an open call for competing applications.
