Opportunity Summary:

This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intention to make a single cooperative agreement award for a project titled "The Musconetong National Scenic and Recreational River Management Plan Implementation Project." It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. In practical terms, the NPS is using the Grants.gov posting mainly to satisfy public notice requirements and to document that it plans to fund a specific set of project activities without going through full and open competition.

The opportunity is issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0154. The assistance listing (CFDA) associated with the announcement is 15.954. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s implementation or oversight compared to a standard grant. The activity category is listed as "Other," with further clarification presumably contained in the attached or linked documentation referenced in the notice.

The posting indicates an anticipated total federal amount up to an award ceiling of $116,400, with one expected award. The record shows a creation date of August 18, 2016, and an original closing date of August 28, 2016. Because this is not an open competition, the closing date functions more as an administrative milestone for posting and documentation rather than a deadline for submitting proposals from the public.

Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the expectation that the specific intended recipient category or partner organization details are explained in the opportunity’s additional eligibility information field or in the "Related Documents" referenced in the notice. The announcement also points users to Grants.gov navigation and support resources, but it emphasizes that the central purpose of the posting is public notice that NPS will proceed with a non-competitive award to carry out management plan implementation activities for the Musconetong National Scenic and Recreational River.
