Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Plan and Implement Hazardous Fuels Reduction Activities on NPS Lands." This announcement is not a request for applications and is not an open competition. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS intends to fund specific project work through a cooperative agreement without full and open competitive solicitation. In practical terms, the agency is signaling that it has already identified the partner it plans to work with and is documenting that intent publicly.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funding, such as participating in planning, coordination, technical input, oversight, or shared decision-making during implementation. The specific agreement referenced is Cooperative Agreement P16AC01449, and the intended partner is the Marin County Fire Department, which aligns with the eligible applicant category listed as county governments.
The project focus is hazardous fuels reduction on National Park Service lands. Hazardous fuels reduction generally refers to actions that lower the risk, intensity, or spread of wildland fire by reducing or rearranging vegetation and other burnable materials. While the notice does not list individual tasks, activities under this kind of project commonly include planning and prioritization of treatment areas, coordination with local fire agencies, and on-the-ground fuels treatments designed to improve wildfire resilience and support public and resource protection. The funding activity categories associated with the opportunity are Disaster Prevention and Relief and Natural Resources, reflecting the dual purpose of reducing wildfire-related disaster risk while managing and protecting natural landscapes.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00542 and carries a CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number of 15.948. The posting date is August 23, 2016. The notice indicates an expected total of one award, with an award ceiling of $50,000. Because this is not a solicitation, there is no application deadline and no competitive submission process; the "closing date" is effectively replaced by the statement that it is not a request for applications.
Overall, this notice documents NPS intent to provide up to $50,000 through a single cooperative agreement to the Marin County Fire Department to plan and carry out hazardous fuels reduction work on NPS lands, with the broader objective of reducing wildfire risk and supporting disaster prevention and natural resource management goals.
