Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00130
The BLM-WY Air Quality Assessment and Outreach Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on strengthening air quality monitoring, airshed management, and public-facing education in Wyoming through a cooperative agreement. The intent is to form a working partnership where both BLM and the selected recipient contribute staff time, expertise, and resources in a coordinated way, making the overall effort more efficient and cost-effective than if each party worked separately. A central feature of the program is the joint exchange of data and collaboration on science-based approaches to understanding and managing air resources.
A key purpose of the award is to support credible air quality assessment that is directly relevant to BLM decision-making needs, especially those tied to the CD-C Record of Decision and other airshed management issues the agency must address. In practical terms, this means the monitoring and information products developed under the program are expected to feed into real management questions and planning requirements, rather than being purely academic exercises. By aligning collected data with BLM’s identified informational needs, the program aims to improve the agency’s ability to evaluate air quality impacts and communicate findings in a way that can support land management actions.
Public outreach is not treated as a side task in this opportunity; it is described as a core objective. The program is designed to enable the recipient to carry out fundamental education and outreach activities so that air quality research and monitoring results are accessible beyond regulatory or technical audiences. The emphasis is on transparency and ensuring the work is open to all, reflecting an explicit goal of serving the public and not limiting the program’s value to internal agency use or narrow research purposes. This outreach component is meant to help citizens understand air quality conditions and potential impacts, and to ensure community members have access to independent, relevant information.
The opportunity also highlights the importance of the recipient’s independence, framing it as a benefit for honest engagement with members of the public who may have concerns about air quality impacts. In other words, while BLM will be an active partner under the cooperative agreement model, the recipient’s ability to engage transparently and credibly with Wyoming residents is considered an essential strength of the project structure. This arrangement is intended to build trust, improve communication, and create a more informative public dialogue around air quality in areas affected by BLM-managed lands and associated activities.
From an administrative standpoint, the award is offered as a cooperative agreement (not a procurement contract), signaling that BLM expects substantial involvement in the project’s execution, coordination, and data-sharing. The opportunity was published under funding opportunity number L17AS00130, categorized under Natural Resources (CFDA 15.231). Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; and eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding higher education institutions in that category). The program anticipated a single award with an award ceiling of $120,000. The opportunity was created on May 26, 2017, with an original closing date of July 27, 2017.Apply for L17AS00130
