Opportunity Summary:
The Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Habitat Improvements opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R14SS11002) is a discretionary grant notice published by the Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, under CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act). The purpose of the notice is to inform the public that Reclamation intends to fund a specific set of habitat improvement activities benefiting Yellowstone cutthroat trout, and that the agency plans to do so without full and open competition. In other words, this posting functions as a transparency notice about an intended, likely noncompetitive award rather than an open solicitation where multiple applicants are invited to submit proposals.
The announcement indicates that one award is expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $800,000 and an award ceiling of $800,000 (no stated minimum award floor). The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Natural Resources. No cost sharing or matching is required, which means the recipient would not be expected to provide a formal non-federal match as a condition of the award. Eligibility is limited to state governments, reinforcing that the intended recipient is likely a state agency or state-led partner positioned to carry out fisheries or habitat restoration work.
Key dates included in the notice show it was posted and created on November 1, 2013, with a closing date of November 15, 2013, and an archive date of December 15, 2013. These dates typically reflect the window during which the public can view and respond to the notice (for example, to ask questions or raise concerns), even though the agency is not requesting applications through a competitive process. The listing provides an additional information link through Grants.gov for the full announcement details.
For assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact listed is Melinda Ritacco, Financial Assistance Specialist, Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 208-378-5103 or by email at mritacco@usbr.gov.
