Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00452
This grant opportunity, titled "Notice of Intent: FY2017 Implementation of Management Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00452), is a National Park Service discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the funded work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is natural resources, and the CFDA listing is 15.939. The opportunity was created on June 28, 2017, with an original closing date of July 9, 2017.
The legal foundation for the funding is the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-319), later amended by Public Law 109-318. Together, these laws formally establish the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area (YCNHA) and instruct the Secretary of the Interior to enter into a compact with the designated local management entity, the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area Corporation (referred to in the notice as "Yuma Crossing"). In practical terms, the notice signals continued federal support for implementing the heritage area’s already-approved Management Plan through a specific task agreement. Unless the notice states otherwise, the work will be governed by the terms and conditions of an existing cooperative agreement referenced as P12AC30244, which functions like the overarching framework for this follow-on task.
The purpose of the funding is to help the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area carry out projects and activities that align with its approved Management Plan and serve the public purposes described in the authorizing legislation. The notice emphasizes the broader National Heritage Area concept: these are congressionally recognized landscapes where natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources come together to tell nationally important stories about the United States. The heritage area model generally relies on partnerships, local leadership, and coordinated investments rather than large-scale federal land ownership, and this opportunity fits that approach by supporting on-the-ground initiatives tied to preservation, conservation, and public engagement.
Project types highlighted in the description include community historic preservation efforts and environmental conservation initiatives that are connected to the Management Plan. In addition, the heritage area is expected to conduct public outreach and programming projects, which can include interpretive or educational activities designed to engage residents and visitors, communicate the area’s significance, and build long-term stewardship. The emphasis on being "associated with its approved Management Plan" suggests the funding is intended for implementation work that has already been planned and vetted, rather than for creating a new plan or launching unrelated projects.
The funding parameters in the source data indicate a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $1. This ceiling is a common placeholder in certain federal postings, especially notices of intent or announcements tied to a specific recipient or pre-existing agreement, and it should not be read as the real project budget without reviewing the underlying task agreement or related documentation. The eligibility field is listed as "Others" with a note to see additional eligibility information, but the description makes clear that the statutory management entity is the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area Corporation, and the structure and language of the notice strongly indicate the award is intended to support that designated entity in implementing the congressionally authorized heritage area program under the existing cooperative agreement framework.Apply for P17AS00452
