Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00048
The grant opportunity titled "BLM Nevada Multiple PTNA Projects SNPLMA Round 16" (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00048) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, focused on carrying out a set of pre-approved projects under Round 16 of the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA). The core purpose was to implement projects in the Parks, Trails and Natural Areas (PTNA) category, specifically supporting the development and improvement of parks, trail systems, and natural area amenities in Clark and Lincoln Counties, Nevada. In practical terms, the funding was intended to move approved concepts into on-the-ground work that expands public recreation infrastructure and enhances natural area access and stewardship in southern Nevada.
This opportunity used a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates that BLM expected to have substantial involvement during project implementation rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and the program was listed under CFDA 15.235. Eligible applicants were limited to local government entities, including county governments, city or township governments, and special district governments, reflecting SNPLMA's common structure of partnering with local jurisdictions and districts to deliver public land and recreation-related projects that serve fast-growing communities and visitors.
The announcement was created on March 27, 2017, and had an original application closing date of April 10, 2017, indicating a relatively short submission window. The total maximum amount available under the opportunity was capped at $4,876,966 (award ceiling), with an expectation of six separate awards, suggesting that the overall funding would be distributed across multiple PTNA projects rather than concentrated into a single large award. The underlying expenditures were tied to SNPLMA's special account, and the Secretary of the Interior had already approved the estimated expenditures on December 6, 2016, meaning the funded work was part of an established, approved SNPLMA project slate rather than a new, open-ended set of ideas.
Overall, this opportunity was designed to channel SNPLMA Round 16 funds into tangible recreation and natural area improvements in two Nevada counties, using cooperative agreements with local governmental partners to build or enhance parks, trails, and natural areas for public benefit, with BLM playing an active role in coordinating and overseeing implementation.Apply for L17AS00048
