Opportunity Summary:
The "Wheeling National Heritage Area" notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0104) is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement explaining that the agency is continuing an existing cooperative agreement/task agreement with the Wheeling National Heritage Area Corporation. It is not a competitive grant solicitation and is not requesting new applications. In other words, the posting is essentially a public record that federal financial assistance is being provided to support ongoing work already underway in the Wheeling National Heritage Area.
The funding is issued under CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance) and is categorized as a mandatory cooperative agreement, with one expected award. The total funding amount is set at 237,000 dollars, and both the award floor and ceiling are the same (237,000 dollars), which signals a fixed, single-award action rather than a range of possible awards. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies. While the eligibility field references 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the notice repeatedly clarifies that this posting is not open for applications because it is tied to the continuation of the task agreement with the Wheeling National Heritage Area Corporation.
The core purpose of the continued agreement is to carry out the Heritage Area management plan and related responsibilities described in the Attachment A FY13 Workplan and Budget. The Wheeling National Heritage Area Corporation’s commitments include implementing the management plan in line with the authorizing legislation and agreement terms, and holding public meetings at least twice per year to keep the community engaged and informed about how the plan is being implemented. The corporation must also coordinate with local governments, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit partners, reflecting the collaborative model typical of National Heritage Areas.
Compliance is a major component of the work. The organization must follow all applicable state and federal laws, specifically including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). As part of that responsibility, the corporation is expected to prepare any required compliance documentation for NPS and/or state approval, helping ensure that projects and activities supported through the agreement meet environmental review and historic preservation requirements.
Key dates in the announcement include a posted and created date of July 30, 2013, with an original/current closing date of August 3, 2013, and an archive date of August 4, 2013. Because the notice is not a request for applications, these dates function more like administrative posting and recordkeeping milestones than a true application window. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
