Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Task Agreement with Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, Inc." (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 14 NERO 0044) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement announcement under CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance. It falls under a mandatory category and, importantly, it is not an open solicitation. In other words, the notice is not asking the public to apply or compete for funds; it is simply publishing that the NPS has already designated the award recipient as Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, Inc. (JTHG), a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
The award supports a specific task agreement between the NPS and JTHG focused on implementing an established Management Plan tied to the enabling legislation and the terms of the agreement. The work is guided by materials referenced as "Attachment A: FY14 Work Plan and Budget," which indicates the tasks, timeline expectations, and spending plan for the fiscal year. The overall intent is to move from planning to on-the-ground execution and coordination, while maintaining structured public engagement and ensuring all required legal compliance steps are completed and documented.
JTHG's responsibilities under this task agreement are clearly spelled out. First, JTHG must implement the Management Plan according to the agreement terms and the authorizing legislation, following the FY14 Work Plan and Budget. Second, JTHG must hold public meetings at least twice per year (semiannually) to discuss the implementation of the Management Plan, which is a way to ensure transparency, keep stakeholders informed, and gather public input as work progresses. Third, JTHG is expected to actively include units of local government, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit organizations in management planning and related coordination, reinforcing that this effort is intended to be collaborative and regionally integrated rather than carried out in isolation.
A major component of the award is compliance. JTHG must comply with all applicable state and federal laws, explicitly including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). This signals that the work may involve activities with potential environmental or historic resource impacts, or at minimum requires procedural review to confirm whether impacts exist and how they will be addressed. In line with that requirement, JTHG must also prepare the necessary compliance documents for review and approval by the NPS and/or the relevant state authorities. These documents typically support environmental review, cultural resource consultation, and formal determinations needed before certain actions can proceed.
From a funding standpoint, the announcement lists one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000, and it sets the award floor and ceiling at the same figure ($150,000), indicating a fixed award amount for this agreement. The opportunity also notes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind contributions) consistent with the agreement terms and applicable NPS assistance requirements.
The posting date and creation date are both June 11, 2014, with a closing date of June 16, 2014, and an archive date of June 17, 2014. Those dates function more as administrative markers for the public notice rather than a window for application submissions, since the award was already designated. The issuing agency is the National Park Service. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
