Opportunity Information: Apply for L19AS00102
The Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) Round 17 Projects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L19AS00102) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Under SNPLMA, revenue generated from certain public land actions in Nevada is split so that 85 percent is deposited into a dedicated SNPLMA Special Account. That special account is then used to fund a defined set of public benefit projects, largely tied to recreation, conservation, restoration, and related infrastructure needs in specific Nevada communities and federally managed landscapes. For Round 17, BLM anticipated making about 16 awards, with an award ceiling listed at $8,477,808, and funding issued through cooperative agreements, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during project implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
The program is designed to channel SNPLMA revenues into on-the-ground projects that improve outdoor recreation access and protect natural resources. The eligible project types highlighted in the notice include parks, trails, and natural areas that benefit certain cities and counties in Nevada, along with capital improvements for certain federally managed areas. It also supports conservation initiatives on federal land in certain Nevada counties, efforts tied to a multi-species habitat conservation plan, environmentally sensitive land acquisitions, and hazardous fuels reduction projects. In addition, the opportunity explicitly includes work connected to broader restoration efforts, including implementation of the Eastern Nevada Landscape Restoration Project and projects authorized under the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act. In practical terms, this mix of categories covers everything from building or improving public recreation amenities and visitor infrastructure, to acquiring high-value conservation lands, to reducing wildfire risk through fuels treatments, to larger-scale ecological restoration across priority landscapes.
Eligibility for Round 17, as listed, is limited to governmental entities: county governments, city or township governments, and special district governments. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the assistance listing is tied to CFDA 15.235. The opportunity was posted (creation date) July 19, 2019, and it was open for submissions from July 19, 2019 through September 19, 2019, with a closing time of 5:00 PM Pacific Time. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement and the subject matter includes public lands, habitat planning, and fuels reduction, applicants generally should expect coordination requirements, compliance considerations, and active federal participation consistent with BLM project oversight and land management responsibilities.
The notice also explains how the remaining 15 percent of SNPLMA revenue is allocated outside the competitive project account. Specifically, 5 percent goes to the State of Nevada for the states general education program, and 10 percent goes to the Southern Nevada Water Authority to support water treatment and transmission facility infrastructure in Clark County, Nevada. This detail is important because it clarifies that Round 17 project funding comes from the 85 percent Special Account portion, while the other 15 percent is distributed by formula to education and water infrastructure purposes rather than being competed through this grant round.Apply for L19AS00102
