1 Certified Eligible Centennial s for Fiscal Year 2008 August 2007 A report to Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne from National Service Director Mary A. Bomar Mount Rainier National

2 The National Service has certified the proposals that follow as eligible for Centennial Challenge funding consideration in fiscal year These proposals represent 116 parks and their partners in 40 states and the District of Columbia. Between park-specific proposals and a national effort to inventory all living things in the parks, every state with national parks benefits. These proposals are both big dollar, big impact and small dollar, big impact they illustrate the National Service s centennial vision and goals described in The Future of America s National s. And they have undergone extensive professional review. employees submitted proposals through a proven project management information system where regional and associate directors reviewed them before releasing them to headquarters. We applied screen out criteria to eliminate proposals that were not ready. A team of NPS professionals evaluated proposals based on additional criteria, including how the proposals: contribute toward a centennial goal or specific performance goal; address a high priority need; have a partner; improve the efficiency and effectiveness of park management; show imagination, innovation and collaboration; benefit multiple parks; and show results. Team members represented all regions and headquarters and varied disciplines from landscape architecture, facility maintenance and park management, budget and information technology to interpretation and education, wilderness management, partnerships, science and resource stewardship. They used a prioritization process to identify proposals that met the criteria, furthered centennial goals of stewardship, environmental leadership, recreational experience, education and professional excellence, and brought significant benefit to the parks and their visitors. They kept an eye toward a proposal s potential to benefit many or all parks in the form of regional or national initiatives. The team verified that the proposals were supported by partner commitment letters. We certified only the very best proposals that had engaged a partner committed to providing at least a 50 percent cash match. These are the 201 proposals that meet our criteria, stand the test of four rigorous reviews, and demonstrate our desire to get started in These 201 proposals represent a total investment of million million from partners, and 154 million federal. Creation of a Centennial Challenge matching fund to make any of these proposals reality requires action from the Congress. We will determine which of these proposals we will begin in fiscal year 2008 based on Congressional Centennial Challenge appropriations. The National Service and its partners are excited about the opportunities held in these proposals and in the possibility of Centennial Challenge funding. We are, indeed, beginning a new era for national parks.
