Wildlife Restoration, Sport Fish Restoration and State Wildlife Grant Programs

This funding opportunity will provide funds for a cooperative agreement from the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program (WSFR)among the three base funding programs.

5. 605 and State Wildlife Grant Program (SWG), 1 5. 63 4. The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937, 50 Stat.

917 as amended; 16 U.S.C.

669-669b, 669-669k, now known as the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, was approved by Congress on September 2, 1937, and began functioning July 1, 193 8. The purpose of this Act has been to provide funding for the selection, restoration, rehabilitation, and improvement of wildlife habitat, wildlife management research, and the distribution of information produced by the projects.

The Act was amended on October 23, 1970, to include funding for hunter safety programs and the development or the operation and maintenance of firearm and archery ranges.

The WR program is funded by revenues collected from the manufacturers of firearms and ammunition who pay an excise tax on these items to the U. S. Treasury.

Additional information about the Wildlife Restoration Grant Program (WR) is available at:

430 as amended; 16 U.S.C.

The Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program (SFR) is funded by revenues collected from the manufacturers of fishing rods, reels, creels, lures, flies and artificial baits, who pay an excise tax on these items to the U. S. Treasury.

An amendment in 1984 (Wallop-Breaux Amendment) added new provisions to the Act by extending the excise tax to previously untaxed items of sport fishing equipment.

SFR provides funding to restore, conserve, manage, or enhance sport fish populations and the public use and benefits from these resources; and to provide boating access to public waters.

Additional information about SFR is on the internet at http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SFR/SFR.htm.

The SFR Program provides Federal grant funding to the 50 States, Commonwealths, and territories of the United States of America for land acquisition, boating access development, research projects, operations and maintenance of public fishing areas, hatchery and lake construction and maintenance, sport fish population management, fishing habitat improvements, coordination projects, and aquatic resource education.

These activities restore or manage sport fish populations and provide public access to these resources.

Ineligible activities include law enforcement of fish and game regulations and public relation activities to promote the fish and wildlife agency.

The State Wildlife Grants Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories (States) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished.

Eligible activities include both planning and implementation.

Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of the Stateâ¿¿s current Wildlife Action Plan (Plan) approved by the Director of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service).

Implementation activities are activities that a State intends to carry out to execute their Plan.

Priority for use of these funds should be placed on those species of greatest conservation need and take into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species.

Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity which is considered critical to the success of a project.
