Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Noxious Weed Control on Public Lands in Montana" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00043) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It focuses on invasive and noxious plant management, specifically supporting projects aimed at eradicating noxious weeds on public lands in western Montana. The work aligns with natural resource stewardship goals by reducing the spread of harmful invasive plants that can displace native vegetation, degrade wildlife habitat, increase erosion, alter fire behavior, and diminish the overall ecological and recreational value of public lands.

Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the life of the project compared to a standard grant. In practice, this often includes coordination on project planning, treatment priorities, reporting expectations, and alignment with local land management objectives. The opportunity anticipates making about two awards. The total estimated funding available across the opportunity is $150,000, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $35,000 per award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants sometimes voluntarily leverage other resources to strengthen their proposals.

Eligibility is limited to state governments. This indicates that Montana state agencies or other qualifying state governmental entities are the intended applicants, likely reflecting the need for strong coordination across jurisdictions and established capacity for weed management operations. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.230, "Invasive and Noxious Plant Management," which is a federal assistance listing that covers activities to prevent, control, and manage invasive plant species on public lands and other relevant areas.

Key timeline details show that the opportunity was posted and created on April 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 5, 2010. That is a short application window, suggesting the funding may have been intended to support near-term field season work, rapid response to emerging infestations, or planned treatment efforts requiring timely implementation.

For applicants needing the full announcement or additional guidance, the listing points to Grants.gov as the source for complete details. The contact person provided is Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer at the BLM, reachable by phone at 406-896-5196 or by email at landerso@blm.gov. This contact is specifically noted for help accessing the announcement electronically, but it is also typically the right point of contact for administrative questions about submission requirements, eligibility confirmation, and grants management procedures.
