The Recreation and Conservation Funding Board is proposing changes to policies for the Nonhighway Off-Road Vehicles Activities program (NOVA).
NOVA funds the development, acquisition, and planning of backcountry recreation facilities; as well as the maintenance and operation, and education and law enforcement of those areas.
The proposed changes only pertain to maintenance and operation ("maintenance"), development, acquisition, and planning grants, not education and law enforcement grants.
The proposals consist of 1) changes to the evaluation criteria for the grants, and 2) how much money an applicant may request.
