Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award - York Wild and Scenic River Study Planning Assistance (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0046) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice under the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI-NPS). It is categorized under the Environment activity area and is associated with CFDA 15.954. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation.
This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS intends to make a non-competitive award for specific project activities related to planning assistance for the York Wild and Scenic River Study. In practical terms, the agency is signaling that it has identified a recipient (or a narrow set of recipients) and plans to move forward without an open competition, which is why no application solicitation is being made through this posting.
The funding parameters indicate a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $44,000. The posting and creation dates are both May 6, 2016, and the listed closing date is May 15, 2016. Since this is a notice rather than a competitive call, the closing date functions more like an administrative endpoint for the public notice period rather than a deadline for applicants to submit proposals.
Eligibility is listed as "Others," with a reference to additional eligibility details that would normally clarify what kinds of organizations could be selected (for example, certain nonprofits, local or regional partners, academic institutions, or other entities). However, because this is a non-competitive intent-to-award notice, the eligibility field is less about inviting broad participation and more about documenting the type of entity the NPS is allowed to fund for this work.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a transparency step: the NPS is informing the public that it plans to provide up to $44,000 through a cooperative agreement to support planning assistance tied to the York Wild and Scenic River Study, and it is doing so without opening a competition for new applicants.
