We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are soliciting project proposals for Federal assistance under the Private Stewardship Grants Program (PSGP).

Project proposals must be received by the appropriate Regional Office (see Table 2 in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION) no later than December 2, 2002.
