SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The Urban Park and Recreation
Recovery (UPARR) Act (16 U.S.C. 2501
et seq.) was passed as Title X of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:56 Mar 10, 2016
Jkt 238001
National Parks and Recreation Act of
1978. The UPARR Act authorized the
Secretary of the Interior to establish a
grant program to help economically
distressed urban areas improve
recreation opportunities for their
residents.
We administer the UPARR program in
accordance with regulations at 36 CFR
72 and the UPARR Grant Manual. These
(1) explain the policies to be followed
for awarding grants; (2) list the
requirements and criteria to be met for
each type of grant and discretionary
eligibility; (3) discuss fundable uses and
limitations; (4) explain how proposals
will be selected and funding; and (5)
describe the application process and
administrative procedures for awarding
grants. The three types of grants
available under the program are:
• Rehabilitation—renovate or
redesign existing close-to-home
recreation facilities.
• Innovation—specific activities that
either increase recreation programs or
improve the efficiency of the local
government to operating existing
programs.
• Planning—development of a
Recovery Action Program plan.
The following are the information
collection requirements for the UPARR
Program:
(1) Recovery Action Program: In
accordance with 36 CFR 72.10–13, any
eligible jurisdiction or discretionary
applicant desiring to apply for a grant
must develop and submit for NPS
approval, a local Recovery Action
Program (RAP). The RAP documents the
recreation needs of the community and
is linked to the objectives, needs, plans,
and institutional arrangements of the
community. The RAP consists of two
sections, which are the Assessment and
the Action Plan.
The Assessment describes the existing
park and recreation system; issues and
problems; goals and objectives. The
Assessment summarizes the entire
system including: Operation and
maintenance; employment and training;
programs and services; rehabilitation of
existing facilities; and the need for new
facilities. The six parts of the
Assessment include: Context; physical
issues; rehabilitation issues; service
issues; management issues; and
conclusions, implications, and issues.
The Action Plan is a clear statement
of the community’s specific objectives,
priorities and implementation strategies
in relation to the intent of the UPARR
Program and the local government’s
overall recreation system goals. Citizen
involvement in the development of the
Action Plan is required and may include
surveys, hearings, meetings, and/or
PO 00000
Frm 00087

consultation, as appropriate, which is
essential in the development of goals,
objectives and the setting of project
priorities. The Action Plan identifies:
The goals for the system; strategies to
address national and local concerns,
recommendations; program priorities
and implementation schedule; and an
evaluation of and update to the Action
Program.
In accordance with 36 CFR 72.30,
applicants must have an approved RAP
on file with the appropriate NPS
Regional Office prior to applying for
Rehabilitation or Innovation grants.
Rehabilitation and Innovation proposals
must be based on priorities identified in
the applicant jurisdiction’s RAP.
(2) Recovery Action Program Grant
Applications: In accordance with 36
CFR 72.52, ranking and selection for
funding of Recovery Action Program
grants will be initiated on the basis of
a full application, preparation of which
will be assisted through meetings with
NPS regional staff. The following
documents are required to be submitted
with the Recovery Action Program Grant
Application: OMB Standard Forms such
as the SF–424, the RAP Grant
Agreement (Form # 10–911), narrative
statements with a description and scope
of the planning product(s) to be
developed, a project budget, and a work
schedule.
(3) Preapplication for Rehabilitation
and Innovation Grants: In accordance
with 36 CFR 72.53, a preapplication
procedure is used to reduce the amount
of time and documentation needed for
a full application, and to foster the
competitive aspects of the UPARR
Program. The preapplication must
include those items as set forth in the
Preapplication Handbook, to include: A
letter of transmittal, SF–424, proposal
description statement, a narrative
describing how the project meets the
selection criteria, maps, photographs
(for construction projects), cost
estimates, and pass through
certifications (if applicable). The
application must describe the problem
addressed by the proposal, including
existing conditions, the reason for the
problem or why the condition exists,
and what the UPARR assistance would
do to alleviate the problem or condition.
Discretionary applicants must also
submit a narrative statement, signed by
the chief executive of the applicant
jurisdiction, explaining and quantifying
the degree of physical and economic
distress in the community must be
included in each preapplication.
(4) Full Application—Rehabilitation
and Innovation Grants: In accordance
with 36 CFR 72.54, once a
Rehabilitation or Innovation proposal
