Opportunity Summary:
The Smoke Management Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00170) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), through its Nevada State Office. The purpose of the award is to help maintain Nevada's existing Smoke Management Program (SMP) by supporting the ongoing coordination and administration needed to manage smoke impacts associated with fire activities. In practical terms, the opportunity centers on keeping the program functioning day to day, with a particular focus on the Smoke Coordinator role and the procedures agencies must follow when smoke-producing fires occur under approved management objectives.
The agreement is structured as a cooperative arrangement between BLM Nevada and the State of Nevada's Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP), specifically the Bureau of Air Quality Planning. Rather than funding a broad set of unrelated projects, the award is tied to the continued operation of a defined statewide program. The announcement indicates that the agreement lays out both the funding and the administrative responsibilities connected to the Smoke Coordinator position. It also describes the processes to be used when prescribed fires or wildland fires managed for resource benefits take place on certain lands in Nevada, which typically involves advance coordination, operational guidance, and adherence to smoke management and air quality procedures intended to reduce public health and visibility impacts.
This opportunity falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.228, National Fire Plan - Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance. Only one award was expected. The total estimated funding listed is $37,500, while the award amount for the specific award is fixed, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $7,500. The listing also specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible for the award under the terms presented.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications contained in the official announcement document. Interested parties were directed to consult the full funding opportunity document via the provided link for formal details, including any eligibility nuances, required application elements, and program-specific conditions. The opportunity was posted on June 23, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 7, 2014, and it was later archived on August 7, 2014.
