PAPO Sets Project Application Deadline
The Pinedale Anticline Project Office (PAPO) will accept applications for potential 2013 funding until Oct. 31.
The project application has been revised and the PAPO strategic plan goals and priorities have been updated to increase the number of submitted projects that specifically benefit mule deer, pronghorn and sage-grouse. Air quality projects will also be considered. Potential applicants are encouraged to visit www.wy.blm.gov/jio-papo/index.htm for more information about the PAPO.
All submitted applications will be reviewed and ranked by PAPO staff; however, final decisions on funding 2013 projects will be made by the PAPO Board of Directors at the May 2013 board meeting in Pinedale, Wyo. There is no guarantee that any submitted application will be funded.
The 2013 application, score sheet and guidelines are available at www.wy.blm.gov/jio-papo/index.htm. All project applications and any supporting documents must be submitted by email to egdecker@blm.gov by 5 p.m. on Oct. 31 to be considered for 2013 funding. Receipt of submitted applications will be acknowledged.
The Jonah Interagency and Mitigation Office does not have funding for projects and is not accepting applications.

The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, recreational and other activities on BLM-managed land contributed more than $130 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 600,000 American jobs. The Bureau is also one of a handful of agencies that collects more revenue than it spends. In FY 2012, nearly $5.7 billion will be generated on lands managed by the BLM, which operates on a $1.1 billion budget. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
