Opportunity Summary:
The Sport Fish Restoration Program Funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFR 2011 R5) is a mandatory federal grant program administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.605, the Sport Fish Restoration Program. It is funded through the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, which is supported by dedicated revenue streams rather than annual discretionary appropriations. Those revenues come primarily from excise taxes on fishing equipment and on motorboat and small engine fuels, along with certain import duties and interest earnings. The basic idea behind the program is that funds generated by anglers, boaters, and related industries are reinvested into fisheries and boating-related purposes through financial assistance awards.
Funding is distributed to eligible recipients as grants to states and insular areas, and the amount available to any given jurisdiction is not set as a single competitive pool with fixed award ranges. Instead, the program uses an apportionment formula to determine how much each state or insular area can receive, which is why the listing shows an estimated total funding amount, award ceiling, and award floor of 0; those figures are not presented as standard competitive grant totals, but rather as amounts that depend on the formula-based allocation and the specific award actions processed for each recipient. Because it is a formula-driven program, applicants generally plan proposals and budgets around their expected apportionment and the allowable activities under the Sport Fish Restoration framework.
The eligible applicants are the designated state fish and wildlife agencies (and comparable entities for insular areas), meaning it is not open to individuals, universities, local governments, or nonprofits as direct applicants under this opportunity. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so recipients should expect to contribute a non-federal share consistent with program rules and ensure they can document that match through acceptable sources and accounting practices.
The opportunity was posted and created on November 28, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 30, 2012, and an archive date of October 2, 2012, indicating the announcement is historical and no longer active as posted. For reference or help obtaining the full announcement as it existed at the time, the listed contact was Judy Driscoll at the Fish and Wildlife Service (413-253-8409, judydriscoll@fws.gov).
