Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00145
The Bureau of Land Management Alaska Recreation and Visitor Services opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00145) is a discretionary federal funding notice from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordinating on work planning, technical direction, or oversight) rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The program’s overall focus falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 15.225. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to support projects that strengthen recreation and visitor services on BLM-managed lands in Alaska, such as efforts that improve visitor experiences, recreational access, information delivery, and related services that help the public use and enjoy public lands safely and responsibly.
A key part of this notice is who can and cannot apply. Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible under this NOFO, which means applications must come from eligible public or nonprofit entities rather than private businesses or unaffiliated persons. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories). This broad eligibility list suggests BLM is open to partnering with a wide range of public-serving organizations that have the capacity to deliver recreation and visitor-service improvements on or connected to BLM lands in Alaska.
The notice also includes an important restriction related to youth hiring and the Public Lands Corps (PLC) Act of 1993. This NOFO does not support entities hiring interns or crews under the PLC authority, and it emphasizes that the PLC Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that specific framework. As a result, youth-oriented organizations that want to propose projects centered on youth conservation corps crews or internship-style placements under PLC should not use this funding opportunity. Instead, the notice directs eligible Youth Conservation Corps applicants to pursue projects under a different funding announcement: NOFO 15.243, BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In other words, L22AS00145 is aimed at recreation and visitor services projects generally, but not at PLC-based intern or crew hiring models.
From a funding standpoint, the listed award ceiling is $200,000, indicating the maximum expected federal amount per award under this opportunity. The original application closing date was February 25, 2022, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of December 27, 2021. While the listing includes a field for expected awards, the number is not provided in the source data you included, so applicants would normally look to the full NOFO text for any estimate of how many projects BLM expected to fund, typical award sizes, cost-share expectations (if any), and project period details. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as BLM Alaska seeking qualified governmental, tribal, educational, and nonprofit partners to carry out on-the-ground or programmatic work that supports recreation management and visitor services, with a clear boundary that PLC-style youth intern/crew hiring belongs under a separate BLM youth conservation funding pathway.Apply for L22AS00145
