Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0119) is a National Park Service notice stating the agency's intent to make a single discretionary award through a cooperative agreement, rather than a competitive grant process. In other words, it is a public transparency notice that the Department of the Interior, National Park Service plans to support specific project activities tied to the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area without soliciting applications from the general public. The announcement explicitly says it is not a request for applications, which means organizations should not prepare or submit proposals in response because the NPS is signaling an intended recipient and planned work scope.

This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant, such as participating in planning, providing technical guidance, coordinating partners, reviewing deliverables, or otherwise collaborating during implementation. The activity category is listed as regional development, reflecting that the funded work is intended to support broader place-based economic, community, and heritage-related outcomes within the National Heritage Area context.

Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $533,657 and anticipates one award total. That combination, along with the noncompetitive language, strongly suggests the NPS planned a single cooperative agreement up to that amount for defined project activities associated with the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area. The associated CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 15.939, which is the National Park Service National Heritage Area program listing used for financial assistance related to these heritage area efforts.

Eligibility is shown as "Others," with the note that further clarification would be in an additional eligibility field not included in the excerpt. In practice, National Heritage Area cooperative agreements often involve the designated local coordinating entity for that heritage area or a closely related partner organization, but the key point in this specific notice is that it is not open competition. The posting date is July 27, 2016, with an original closing date of August 6, 2016; in notices like this, the closing date typically functions as the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline.

Overall, the announcement serves one primary purpose: to inform the public that the National Park Service intended to fund Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area-related activities via a single cooperative agreement, up to $533,657, without full and open competition, and that the announcement should not be interpreted as an invitation for outside applicants to apply.
