Opportunity Summary:
The Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0045) is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement documenting that an award has already been made to support work within the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area. It is not an open competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that Rivers of Steel has received federal financial assistance through a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance).
The award is structured as a mandatory cooperative agreement, meaning NPS is not soliciting proposals from other organizations and the project work is to be carried out in coordination with the agency. The total funding amount is $533,059, and because both the award floor and ceiling are listed as $533,059, the notice indicates a single, fixed award amount with one expected award. The posting date and creation date are May 19, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 29, 2015, and an archive date of May 30, 2015, reflecting the administrative window for publishing the notice rather than a period for accepting applications.
The recipient identified by the notice is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (other than an institution of higher education). The notice also specifies that cost sharing or matching is required, which means the recipient must contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind contributions) toward the supported work, consistent with the cooperative agreement terms and applicable federal assistance rules.
In terms of what the award supports, the Rivers of Steel Heritage Corporation (RSHC) commits to implementing projects tied to the National Heritage Area Management Plan. The work is to be carried out in line with the authorizing legislation, the cooperative agreement, and the FY15 Work Plan and Budget referenced as Attachment B. Beyond project delivery, the recipient must hold public meetings at least twice each year to discuss Management Plan implementation, ensuring ongoing community input and transparency. The notice also emphasizes collaborative implementation, requiring the involvement of local governments, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit partners in carrying out Management Plan projects.
Compliance responsibilities are a central part of the agreement. The recipient must follow all applicable state and federal laws, explicitly including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). In practical terms, that means the organization must evaluate and document potential environmental and historic preservation impacts for applicable projects, coordinate with NPS and relevant state entities as needed, and prepare any required compliance documentation for NPS and/or state approval before undertaking activities that trigger those requirements.
