LWCF Post Selection Requirements
Post Selection Federal Requirements (Phase 2)
This section applies to applicants selected to move forward in the LWCF process. These post-selection requirements are more complex federal requirements for the LWCF grant, including the Application and Revision Form and NEPA Pathway, the LWCF Boundary Map and Section 106.
The Application and Revision (A & R) Form requests information on the project, other rights and interests within the project site, and the NEPA pathway (categorical exclusion, environmental assessment, or environmental impact study). Contact the grant analyst to obtain a form by email.
Review the possible Categorical Exclusion codes in the Federal Categorical Exclusions Resource .
The Compliance and Stewardship (C & S) Form is to provide information about LWCF compliance and stewardship proposals submitted for National Park Service (NPS) review. This form should be completed for any proposal that will impact a park or other recreation area that received LWCF assistance. Consultation with the NPS should occur before the form is completed.
The LWCF Boundary Map is required for all projects and shows the park area that will be protected in perpetuity for outdoor recreation purposes.
Section 106 requires federal agencies to consider the effects on historic properties (i.e., archaeological, tribal, and built environment cultural resources that are listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places) for federally funded or permitted projects or for projects proposed on federal land. Please see Chapter 4 in the LWCF Manual.
In addition to the above, acquisition projects will need to have a Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (UASFLA) Appraisal and Independent Review or Waiver Valuation completed prior to grant closeout. For most acquisition projects, a UASFLA appraisal and independent review will be needed as they will not qualify for a waiver valuation. Please see the section on UASFLA appraisals in the LWCF manual.
