Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0115
The "Implement White Clay Creek Wild and Scenic River Watershed Management Plan" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0115) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is categorized under the Environment activity area and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates that NPS expects to remain substantially involved in carrying out or overseeing the work rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal agency participation. The listing references CFDA 15.962, which is associated with National Park Service assistance programs.
This notice is not an open solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service intended to issue an award modification to an existing master cooperative agreement that had already been justified as single-source. In practical terms, that means the agency planned to add funding, extend performance, revise the scope, or otherwise change the terms of a previously awarded agreement to the same partner organization, rather than competing the work among multiple applicants. The notice functions mainly as a transparency step to inform the public that the agency is proceeding with a non-competitive modification.
The purpose indicated by the title is implementation of the White Clay Creek Wild and Scenic River Watershed Management Plan. While the notice does not provide a task-level scope, implementation of a watershed management plan for a designated Wild and Scenic River commonly includes actions such as coordinating among watershed stakeholders, supporting restoration or protection projects, improving stewardship practices, conducting outreach and education, and strengthening management activities that protect water quality, habitat, and other river-related values. Because it is tied to a Wild and Scenic River context, the work would typically align with protecting the river corridor's outstandingly remarkable values and supporting long-term watershed health through cooperative, multi-jurisdictional efforts.
Key administrative details include an award ceiling of $99,000, an expectation of one award, and dates showing the notice was created on August 2, 2017, with an original closing date of August 11, 2017. Even though a "closing date" is listed, in this context it does not signal a deadline for applications from the public because the announcement is not soliciting proposals; it is simply marking the public notice period associated with the intended modification.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note to consult additional eligibility information in the full posting. However, because the action is a modification to a previously justified single-source cooperative agreement, eligibility details are largely academic for outside entities since the agency was not seeking competing applications and had already identified the recipient within the existing agreement structure.
Overall, this announcement is best understood as an administrative notice that NPS planned to continue or expand previously authorized work, via a cooperative agreement modification, to support implementation of the White Clay Creek Wild and Scenic River Watershed Management Plan, with up to $99,000 available and only one anticipated awardee.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0115
