Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JJ3 NSFTLP FY23
The 2023 Nationally Significant Federal Lands and Tribal Projects Program (NSFLTP) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). It was created under the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act to provide federal financial assistance for large, high-impact transportation projects that are considered nationally significant when they serve Federal lands or Tribal lands. In practical terms, the program is meant to help pay for the construction, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of transportation facilities that are located within Federal or Tribal lands, directly adjacent to them, or that provide key access routes into or across those lands.
A major feature of this opportunity is how the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Public Law 117-58) reshaped the program for the 2022 to 2026 period. The law established a baseline of $55 million per year from the Highway Trust Fund and also authorized up to an additional $300 million per year from the General Fund for each of fiscal years 2022 through 2026. In addition to expanding the potential funding available, the law changed eligibility and program priorities in ways that substantially increased access for Tribal projects. One of the most important changes is that the minimum project size threshold was lowered from $25 million to $12.5 million, making it easier for more projects to meet the basic scale requirements. The law also directed that 50 percent of NSFLTP funds be used for Tribal transportation facilities, signaling a clear intent to ensure that Tribal transportation needs receive a significant and consistent share of awards.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law also improved the funding terms for Tribal transportation projects by increasing the federal cost share to 100 percent for projects on Tribal transportation facilities. This means that, for eligible Tribal facility projects, the program can cover the entire eligible project cost, removing a major barrier that often limits the ability of Tribes to pursue large infrastructure investments. Another statutory directive included in the updated program is a requirement to fund at least one eligible project submitted by the National Park Service for a unit of the National Park System that has 3,000,000 or more annual visitors. That requirement reflects the reality that extremely high visitation parks often face outsized transportation demands, congestion, safety issues, and deferred maintenance that can have national-level economic and public access implications.
For the FY 2023 funding opportunity itself, the official title is "2023 Nationally Significant Federal Lands and Tribal Projects Program," listed as a grant (FundingInstrumentType: Grant) under the transportation category. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number 693JJ3 NSFTLP FY23 and is associated with CFDA number 20.205. The issuing agency is the Department of Transportation, specifically FHWA. The posting indicates an expected total of 4 awards, with an award ceiling of $44,145,000, meaning individual awards could be as high as that amount depending on project scope and selection decisions. The opportunity was created on July 6, 2023, with an original closing date of September 6, 2023. Eligibility is summarized as "Others" with a note directing applicants to additional eligibility details in the full notice, which typically means multiple entity types may apply depending on the statutory categories and program rules (for example, certain federal land management agencies, Tribal governments or Tribal transportation entities, states, local governments, or other transportation authorities involved in access to Federal or Tribal lands).
Overall, NSFLTP FY 2023 is designed to fund fewer, larger, high-priority transportation projects that improve access, safety, and reliability for routes tied to Federal and Tribal lands, with explicit policy choices that elevate Tribal transportation investment (including a guaranteed funding emphasis and the possibility of full federal funding for Tribal facilities) and ensure that at least one major National Park Service project in a very high visitation park is supported.Apply for 693JJ3 NSFTLP FY23
