Opportunity Summary:

The "Smoke Management Program Within the State of Nevada" (Funding Opportunity Number NV NOI080005) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding notice issued as a public announcement of intent rather than a competitive grant solicitation. In plain terms, it is not asking the public to apply. Instead, it provides formal notice that BLM plans to support a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive cooperative agreement. The purpose of the work is to continue or support a statewide smoke management effort carried out jointly by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) and BLM.

The core goal of the program is to allow necessary burning activities in Nevada such as forest burning, rangeland burning, and crop residue burning while reducing and managing the resulting air quality impacts. This type of program typically involves planning and coordination so that smoke-generating activities can occur under conditions that limit public health impacts and visibility problems, and so that burn decisions are aligned with air quality considerations. The announcement emphasizes that the joint NDEP-BLM effort is intended to benefit the people of Nevada by balancing land management and agricultural needs with air quality protection.

Administratively, the opportunity falls under the Environment funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.228 (National Fire Plan, including Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance). The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement or partnership from the federal agency during the project, as opposed to a more hands-off grant. Only one award was expected. The estimated total funding listed is $25,000, while the award ceiling and floor are both shown as $5,000, signaling that the specific award amount for the referenced action was likely fixed at $5,000 even though the broader estimated total funding figure is also provided in the record. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.

Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the referenced partnership structure and the role of NDEP in statewide air quality oversight. Key dates in the notice show it was posted and created on March 27, 2008, with an original and current closing date of April 6, 2008, and an archive date of April 10, 2008. Because the announcement is explicitly not a request for applications, the "closing date" functions more as an administrative milestone for public notice than a typical deadline for proposal submissions.

For questions or issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, reachable by phone at 775-861-6559 or by email at susankaller@blm.gov.
