Opportunity Summary:

The grant notice titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - The Oil Region National Heritage Area" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding announcement published by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI). It is explicitly not a competitive funding opportunity and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS intends to provide funding for specific project activities to a selected recipient without conducting full and open competition. In practical terms, this type of notice is generally used when the agency has already identified an intended partner or recipient and is documenting that decision transparently for the public record.

The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award, meaning it is not an entitlement program and is issued at the agency's discretion based on program priorities and available funds. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. That involvement can include collaboration on project planning, coordination, technical guidance, or oversight tied to the goals of the Oil Region National Heritage Area work.

The activity category is described as regional development, and the associated CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 15.939. The announcement anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $58,890, which represents the maximum amount planned for this action. The posting and creation dates are January 29, 2016, and the listed closing date is February 8, 2016. Since the announcement is not soliciting applications, the closing date is best understood as the end of the public notice period or the administrative window for the announcement rather than a deadline for submitting proposals.

Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility information in the full listing for clarification. However, because this is a notice of intent to award without competition, eligibility details are less relevant for outside parties than they would be in an open solicitation. The key takeaway is that the NPS is notifying the public of its intent to fund work connected to The Oil Region National Heritage Area through a cooperative agreement, up to $58,890, and that there is no application process associated with this announcement.
