15.246 -- Threatened and Endangered Species
The BLM T&E Program focuses on conservation and recovery of endangered, threatened and BLM sensitive species (cumulatively referred to as special status species) and their habitats to help ensure balanced and diverse uses of BLM-managed lands including the Nation"s need for domestic sources of energy, minerals, timber, recreation, and fish and wildlife habitat for future generations. The T&E Program focuses on implementing the Department of Interior"s priorities by emphasizing actions that help streamline permitting processes and reduce regulatory requirements for authorizations (e.g., minerals, energy, timber, recreation). Overall, this can be achieved by 1) conserving and recovering species and their habitats to help recover and delist or help preclude the need to list new endangered and threatened species thereby reducing future regulations and 2) improving available information and data that can be used to support approval of authorizations. To meet these goals, the T&E Program has an opportunity to work with partner organizations to increase program efficiencies and effectiveness.
Individuals and for-profit organizations are ineligible to apply for awards under this NOFO.This program NOFO does not support entities hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The Public Lands Corps Act of 1993, 16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II-Public Lands Corps, is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under this authority. Therefore, eligible Youth Conservation Corps may only apply for projects developed under NOFO 15.243 – BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands.CESUs are partnerships with a purpose to promote, conduct, and provide research, studies, assessments, monitoring, technical assistance, and educational services. If a cooperative agreement is awarded to a CESU partner under a formally negotiated Master CESU agreement which is consistent with the CESU purpose, indirect costs are limited to a rate of no-more-than 17.5 percent of the indirect cost base recognized in the partner's Federal Agency-approved Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA). Applicant"s should specify if their proposal furthers the purpose of the CESU program, and if so which CESU Network should be considered as host.
