Opportunity Information: Apply for OIA BIL MINEDLANDS 2023
The Department of the Interior, through its Office of Insular Affairs (OIA), offered a discretionary grant opportunity under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) known as Activity 8, focused on restoring native vegetation and addressing environmental hazards associated with mined lands. The program targets both Federal and non-Federal mined sites and is intended to support on-the-ground restoration and hazard mitigation work in four U.S. insular areas: American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In practical terms, the funding is meant for projects that repair the ecological and safety impacts of past mining or similar extractive disturbances, with an emphasis on getting disturbed landscapes back into a healthier, more resilient condition over the long term.
A central point of this opportunity is that it is aimed at landscape disturbances that are human-caused rather than the result of natural disasters. The goal is to restore native vegetation in places where mining-related activity has left bare ground, erosion problems, contaminated or unstable areas, or other environmental hazards that can threaten nearby communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems. By reestablishing native plant communities and stabilizing disturbed sites, the program is designed to produce lasting economic and social benefits, such as reduced erosion and sediment impacts, improved watershed and habitat conditions, safer land conditions, and better long-term land usability for communities in the insular areas.
Eligible applicants are limited to non-federal entities that operate in, or directly benefit, the eligible insular areas. This includes local government agencies (and OIA explicitly notes that this can include local hospitals or health centers and utilities), institutions of higher education located in the eligible territories, and nonprofit organizations whose mission directly benefits American Samoa, Guam, CNMI, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. The award is governed by the federal assistance rules in 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Guidance). One specific restriction called out is that, consistent with 2 CFR 200.444, OIA cannot provide funding to the judicial branch of local governments.
From the source details provided, the grant is categorized under environmental activities and is associated with CFDA number 15.875. The funding instrument is a grant, and it was posted on October 3, 2022, with an original closing date of March 3, 2023. The opportunity listing does not specify a dollar “award ceiling” (shown as 0 in the source data), and the number of expected awards is not stated in the provided record, which typically means applicants would need to consult the full notice or agency guidance for budget expectations and selection details. The official opportunity title is "OIA-BIL Activity 8 - Restore native vegetation and mitigate environmental hazards on mined Federal and non-Federal land," and it appears under the funding opportunity number "OIA BIL MINEDLANDS 2023."Apply for OIA BIL MINEDLANDS 2023
