Opportunity Summary:
The 2010 New Entrant Safety Assurance Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) under CFDA 20.218, National Motor Carrier Safety. The program makes remaining FY 2010 "New Entrant" (NE) grant funds available on a competitive basis to help state and local governments support motor carrier safety work tied to the New Entrant Safety Assurance effort, which focuses on improving compliance and safety outcomes among new motor carriers entering interstate commerce.
Eligible applicants include state governments and local government entities such as county governments and city or township governments. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award. The activity area is transportation, specifically motor carrier safety enforcement and assurance activities that align with FMCSA's objectives for monitoring and improving safety performance of newly registered carriers.
This announcement reflects that FMCSA originally prioritized applications submitted on or before October 15, 2009, as stated in the original notice. After reviewing and awarding funds from those earlier submissions, FMCSA indicated that any applications submitted after that date would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis only if funding remained. As of this competitive reopening, approximately $532,000 in FY 2010 New Entrant grant funds had not yet been awarded, and FMCSA is making that remaining balance available for additional competitive applications.
The opportunity was posted on August 18, 2009, and later updated with a current closing date of August 4, 2010. The tentative selection and award date is August 30, 2010. Once awarded, the funds are available for expenditure through September 30, 2011, giving recipients a defined window to carry out approved project activities and draw down grant funds.
In terms of award size and scale, the estimated total funding available under this round is $532,000. The stated award ceiling is also $532,000, with an award floor of $10,000, suggesting FMCSA could fund multiple smaller projects or potentially fewer larger ones depending on application quality and program priorities. The opportunity anticipates around 50 awards, indicating an expectation of multiple recipients, although actual awards would depend on the number of strong applications and the remaining funds.
For reference and tracking, the Funding Opportunity Number is USDOT-FMC-MCSAPNE-10-001, and the opportunity is categorized as discretionary. The archive date is September 3, 2010, which is consistent with the end of the active competition period after awards are made.
