Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Oil Region Alliance of Business, Industry, and Tourism" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0061) is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement for a mandatory cooperative agreement connected to the National Heritage Area program (CFDA 15.939). It is not an open competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that a single award has already been designated for ORABIT Inc. (Oil Region Alliance of Business, Industry, and Tourism), a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status.
The announcement outlines what ORABIT is expected to do under the cooperative agreement. The core requirement is implementation of an already approved Management Plan, following the terms of the agreement and the governing legislation tied to the heritage area. ORABIT must also hold public meetings at least once per year to report on and discuss progress and activities related to carrying out the Management Plan. Another key responsibility is ongoing coordination with local governments, regional planning organizations, and other nonprofit partners, reflecting the collaborative nature of National Heritage Area work where conservation, interpretation, recreation, and community development often cross jurisdictional lines.
Compliance is a major condition of the award. ORABIT is required to follow all applicable state and federal laws, specifically including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). In practical terms, this means activities supported by the agreement may need environmental and cultural resource review, and ORABIT must prepare the necessary compliance documentation for NPS and/or state approval when required. This emphasis signals that the funded work may involve projects or actions that affect historic resources, landscapes, or public use areas where formal review and documentation are standard.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $215,558, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $215,558, indicating a fixed award amount. Only one award was expected, consistent with the notice that the recipient had already been chosen. The opportunity also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning ORABIT must provide non-federal match (cash and/or allowable in-kind contributions) as part of the agreement’s overall budget structure.
The posting date and creation date are both June 24, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 29, 2014, and an archive date of June 30, 2014. These dates function more as administrative markers for the public notice rather than a real application window, since the award was already designated. For access or administrative questions, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
