Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, published a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Yurok Tribe Land Conservation Corps with NPS YPP FY15" under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00157. This notice is not a call for proposals and not an open competition. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS planned to provide funding to the Yurok Tribe without full and open competitive procedures, using Task Agreement P15AC00648 under an existing Annual Funding Agreement (P11AC80825). In practical terms, the NPS was informing the public that it intended to directly support a specific set of project activities already associated with an established partnership arrangement.

The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a funding instrument listed as "Other," with the activity area identified as Employment, Labor, and Training. The related CFDA program number is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the underlying purpose involves conservation work carried out through youth or corps-style service and workforce development. The project title also references "YPP" (commonly meaning Youth Programs), reinforcing that the funded activities were expected to combine hands-on land or resource conservation work with paid training and employment experience.

Funding details in the notice indicate an estimated total of $36,400, with one expected award. The notice lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute a specific non-federal share as a condition of receiving the federal funds. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which is typical in notices of intent or non-competitive public postings where the agency is announcing an intent under an existing agreement rather than soliciting applications with a defined range of award sizes.

Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and in this case the intended recipient was the Yurok Tribe. Because the posting is a notice of intent rather than a solicitation, there was no application deadline; both the original and current closing dates are explicitly stated as "This is not a request for applications." The notice was posted and created on June 2, 2015, and it was archived on June 12, 2015, reflecting a short public-notice window typical of these announcements.

For anyone seeking the official record or having trouble accessing the announcement through Grants.gov, the notice provides a point of contact: Jason Whitehead, Grants Management Specialist, at (415) 464-5105 or JasonWhitehead@nps.gov.
