This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications for the Readiness and Recreation Initiative (RARI), administered by the National Park Service (NPS). The purpose of the program is to: 1) provide outdoor recreation opportunities, and 2) promote or support compatible land uses and avoid incompatible development in areas in the vicinity of, or ecologically related to, a military installation or military airspace, and/or to maintain or enhance disaster resilience. RARI is a program within the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). State and Local Assistance Program. RARI funding is available in addition to traditional LWCF state formula grants and does not affect state apportionments. RARI operates in partnership with the Department of War (DOW) and seeks to leverage funding across departments to benefit the general public and military communities. RARI is dollar for dollar match, meaning it covers up to 50% of all project costs and applicants are responsible for funding the remaining 50% of project costs. However, for RARI projects, DOW Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) funds are allowable to meet the LWCF Act's cost-share requirement (10 U.S.C. 2684a). Therefore, 100% of project costs could be funded through these two federal programs. To be eligible, proposed projects must: Include a land acquisition component. Be in a Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) Partnership Opportunity Area or Sentinel Landscape. Have a Letter of Support from a Military Installation or Range commander.1 Additional LWCF requirements for the RARI program: Perpetuity Requirement - Projects assisted through RARI must be maintained and accessible exclusively for public outdoor recreation use in perpetuity. This applies to the assisted park or site in its entirety, not just the area assisted by the grant funds. Alignment with LWCF Law and Policy - As an LWCF program, RARI projects must align with the purposes and requirements of the LWCF Act and LWCF Manual. This includes meeting a priority need or goal identified in the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). Alignment with National Priorities – Projects must be responsive to Executive and National priorities, including those outlined in Executive Order 14313, "Establishing the President's Make America Beautiful Again Commission" and Secretarial Order 3442, "Land and Water Conservation Fund Implementation by the U.S. Department of the Interior."

Regulatory Amendment for Bighorn Sheep Hunting Tag QuotasThe regulatory amendment adjusts hunting tag allocations for bighorn sheep in California and introduces new designated hunt areas to better manage wildlife populations and hunting pressure. This action is taken by the Fish and Game Commission to align hunting opportunities with conservation goals, ecological data, and public input, ensuring the long-term sustainability of bighorn sheep herds across their native habitats. No tags are being procured or subcontracted, and the measure focuses solely on modifying existing regulatory frameworks to reflect current biological and operational needs. The amendment applies statewide but targets specific regions where population dynamics require refined management, and it will affect only licensed hunters seeking bighorn sheep tags through the state’s draw system. The changes are effective as of the regulation’s adoption date and are implemented under the authority of California’s wildlife code, using the NAICS code 924120 to classify the regulatory nature of the action. The process was publicly disclosed via the CEQA Net portal, allowing for transparency and compliance with environmental review standards, though no commercial procurement or financial transactions are involved.
