FY27_DCA_3DEP-D_-_Validation_of_Proposed_Funding_Partners_1.pdf

This is a form template for the U.S. Geological Survey's 3D National Topography Model Data Collaboration Announcement (DCA) for the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) in Fiscal Year 2027. The form 3DEP-D is designed to validate proposed funding partners and must be submitted once for each funding partner included in a project submission.

The form collects applicant information including the submitter's name, organization, and project title, along with detailed information about the proposed funding partner including their name, organization, email, and phone number. Funding partners must acknowledge their status as a full and willing project partner and disclose their proposed good faith financial contribution toward total project costs. The contribution amount must be itemized to show how much will be applied to acquisition costs and how much (6% of the total) will be applied to cover Department of Interior and USGS assessment costs. Partners must specify whether their contribution is guaranteed or pending, with pending contributions requiring a final funding decision date in MMM YYYY format. The form requires the funding partner's signature and date and is accompanied by instructions noting that the form is provided solely for planning and coordination purposes and does not constitute a legally binding commitment. This is a template form only without specific solicitation details, response deadlines, or award information.
