Opportunity Summary:
The Sport Fish Restoration Program Funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: SFR 2011 R3) is a mandatory federal grant program administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is designed to return revenue collected from sport fishing and boating-related sources back to public fish and wildlife agencies for eligible conservation, restoration, and related outdoor recreation purposes. The funding stream comes from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, which is financed through excise taxes on fishing equipment, motorboat and small engine fuels, import duties, and interest earnings. Those receipts are then appropriated and made available as financial assistance grants.
Funding under this program is distributed to states and insular areas rather than through a typical competitive solicitation. Instead, each eligible jurisdiction receives an amount determined by an apportionment formula, meaning award amounts are driven by statutory calculations rather than proposal scoring. Because of this structure, the listing shows estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor as 0, which generally indicates that fixed amounts are not posted in the announcement and will vary by the apportionment results and the applicant jurisdiction.
Eligibility is limited to designated state fish and wildlife agencies (and, by extension in the program description, insular area authorities where applicable). The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA number 15.605 (Sport Fish Restoration Program). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so recipients should expect to provide non-federal match consistent with program rules for the types of activities funded.
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. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Ken Kuznia at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 612-713-5153 or kenkuznia@fws.gov.
