Additional Information on Eligibility:
Eligible applicants are U.S. state, territorial,
tribal, or local governments that have regulatory or management
authority over one or more SOC or activities that affect one or more
SOC. A current list of SOC can be found at http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/
species/concern/#list or obtained from the Office of Protected
Resources (see section G, Agency Contacts). Applicants are not eligible
to submit a proposal under this program if they are a federal employee;
however, federal employees may serve as Cooperators. In addition, NMFS
employees are not allowed to actively engage in the preparation of
proposals or write letters of support for any application. However, if
applicable, NMFS employees can write a letter verifying that they are
collaborating with a particular project. NMFS contacts (see section G)

Description
The NMFS is seeking to provide federal
assistance, in the form of grants or cooperative agreements, to support
conservation efforts for the current list of marine and anadromous
species under the Proactive Species Conservation Program. The program
supports voluntary conservation efforts designed to conserve marine and
anadromous species before they reach the point at which listing as
threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) becomes
necessary. Such proactive conservation efforts can serve as an
efficient, non-regulatory, and cost-effective means of managing
potentially at-risk species. To raise awareness of potentially at-risk
species and to foster their proactive conservation, the NMFS created a
`species of concern' list in April 2004 (69 FR 19975). `Species of
concern' are species that are potentially at risk of becoming
threatened or endangered or may potentially require protections under
the ESA, yet for which sufficient data are lacking. The species-of-
concern status carries no procedural or regulatory protections under
the ESA. The list of species of concern and descriptions of each
species are available at http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/species/concern/
#list. Under this solicitation, any state, territorial, tribal, or
local entity that has authority to manage or regulate these species or
activities that affect these species is eligible to apply to this grant
program. This document describes how to submit proposals for funding in
fiscal year (FY) 2009 and how the NMFS will determine which proposals
will be funded.
