Abstract: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service administers a competitive grant program as authorized by Congress through Subtitle C of the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-11). The Wolf-Livestock Demonstration Project Grant Program (WLDPGP) has two purposes: (1) To assist livestock producers in undertaking proactive, nonlethal activities to reduce the risk of livestock loss due to predation by wolves; and (2) To compensate livestock producers for livestock losses due to such predation. Included in the authorization language was direction that the program be established as a grant program to States and tribes, that the Federal cost-share not exceed 50 percent, and that funds be expended equally between the two purposes. Qualifying grants must include a minimum of 50 percent non-Federal cost share. To compete for grant funds, eligible States and tribes must submit an application that describes in substantial detail project locations, project resources, future benefits, and other characteristics that meet the Wolf-Livestock Demonstration Project Grant Program purposes as listed above. In accordance with the Act, States and tribes that receive a grant must: • Maintain files of all claims received under programs funded by the grant, including supporting documentation; and • Submit an annual report that includes a summary of claims and expenditures under the program during the year and a description of any action taken on the claims.
