Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0163
The FY17 ATC - Relocate Appalachian Trail on Bear Mountain opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0163) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that supports work related to relocating a segment of the Appalachian Trail on Bear Mountain. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in carrying out or overseeing the work rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal ongoing engagement. The funding is associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 15.931, a National Park Service assistance program code commonly used for NPS-related projects.
A key point of this notice is that it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notice that NPS intends to award a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement that was either previously competed or justified as a single-source arrangement. In practical terms, this means NPS has already identified the partner organization(s) eligible to receive this specific task agreement under that umbrella agreement, so other entities should not expect an opportunity to apply through this particular announcement.
The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," which generally indicates the recipient is not limited strictly to state or local governments or universities and may include nonprofit organizations or other partners that fit the terms of the existing cooperative agreement. The activity category is listed under Employment, Labor and Training, which can be used in federal assistance listings even when the on-the-ground work involves field operations, project implementation, and potentially staffing, training, or coordinating labor for trail work and related stewardship tasks.
The notice was created on August 23, 2017, with an original closing date of September 2, 2017. Because it is not soliciting applications, that date is best understood as an administrative timeframe for the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting proposals. The announcement lists an award ceiling of $51,996, indicating the maximum expected federal funding for the task agreement described in the notice. The number of expected awards is not provided, which is consistent with a notice announcing an intended award rather than competing multiple awards.
Overall, the announcement is essentially a transparency step: NPS is informing the public that it plans to issue a specific, relatively small task agreement (up to $51,996) under an already-established cooperative framework to support relocation work on the Appalachian Trail at Bear Mountain, rather than opening a new competitive grant process.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0163
