Opportunity Summary:
The Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) Hazardous Fuels Reduction Projects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00272) was a discretionary federal grant program administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support a set of hazardous fuels reduction efforts in southern Nevada. The projects funded under this notice were not open-ended or newly proposed in the abstract; they were specific hazardous fuels reduction projects that had already been authorized under SNPLMA and approved by the Secretary of the Interior across three approval rounds: Round 9 (approved August 16, 2008), Round 10 (approved September 4, 2009), and Round 11 (approved October 21, 2010). In practical terms, the opportunity functioned as a mechanism to carry out approved work intended to reduce wildfire risk and address fuel hazards on public lands and associated landscapes, consistent with SNPLMA natural resource purposes.
Funding was offered through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates a more collaborative relationship between the federal agency and the recipient than a standard grant, often including substantial federal involvement in project coordination, technical input, or oversight during implementation. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and the relevant CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) program number was 15.235, Southern Nevada Public Land Management. The notice anticipated making about six awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,705,140. Individual awards were expected to fall within a relatively tight band, with a stated award floor of $500,000 and an award ceiling of $1,100,000, signaling that the program was aimed at fairly large, implementation-oriented projects rather than small planning-only efforts.
Eligibility was limited to state governments and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants were not required by the announcement to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award, although cooperative agreements can still involve partner contributions depending on the project design and negotiated terms.
Timing for this opportunity was very short. The posting date and creation date were both September 13, 2011, and the closing date was September 16, 2011. The opportunity was later archived on October 13, 2011. This compressed window suggests the announcement may have been targeted to a limited applicant pool that was already positioned to execute these previously approved SNPLMA hazardous fuels projects, or it reflected an administrative schedule tied to implementing specific authorized projects.

For assistance accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, reachable at 775-861-6559 and by email at susankaller@blm.gov (also shown as skaller@blm.gov).
