Opportunity Summary:
The Sport Fish Restoration Program Funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: SFR 2011 R6) is a mandatory federal grant program administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.605. Its purpose is to distribute money from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund to support fisheries- and boating-related work carried out at the state and insular-area level. Rather than being funded through general tax revenues, the trust fund is financed by dedicated user-based revenues, including excise taxes on fishing equipment, excise taxes on motorboat and small engine fuels, import duties, and interest earned on the fund. These receipts are collected and then appropriated to the trust fund, creating a consistent revenue stream tied to fishing and boating participation and related commerce.
Funding is provided to states and insular areas through financial assistance grants, and the amount available to each recipient is determined by an apportionment formula. In practice, that means funding levels are not announced as a single competitive pot with a fixed total; instead, allocations are calculated based on the statutory formula used for this program. Reflecting that structure, the listing shows an estimated total funding amount of 0 and award ceiling/floor values of 0, which typically indicates that awards are formula-based and vary by jurisdiction rather than being defined in one national announcement with predetermined award sizes.
The program requires cost sharing or matching, meaning recipients should expect to contribute a non-federal share consistent with Sport Fish Restoration grant rules. Eligibility is limited to the designated state fish and wildlife agency (and comparable agencies in eligible insular areas), not to individuals, universities, local governments, or nonprofits applying independently. The opportunity is categorized as a grant in the natural resources activity area.
Key administrative dates in the posted announcement include a posted/creation date of November 28, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 30, 2012, and an archive date of October 2, 2012. For further reference, the announcement points to an additional information link labeled "Sport Fish Restoration Program." For assistance accessing the full announcement or related details, the listed contact is Stephen Jose at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, phone 303-236-7394, email stevejose@fws.gov.
