Opportunity Summary:
The 2011 PHMSA HMEP Native American Tribes grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HM HMP 11 002) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under the broader Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) framework. It is specifically set aside for federally recognized Native American tribal governments and is intended to strengthen emergency preparedness related to hazardous materials incidents, especially those connected to transportation. The underlying authority for the program comes from the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety and Security Reauthorization Act of 2005, which allows DOT to support public-sector employees through training and planning assistance.
At its core, the program aims to make Tribal, state, territorial, and local emergency response systems more capable of handling hazardous materials accidents and incidents safely and efficiently. That includes improving readiness for events such as highway, rail, pipeline, or other transportation-related hazmat releases where response conditions can be more complex and time-sensitive than fixed-site incidents. The program also explicitly supports stronger implementation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), reinforcing the importance of coordinated planning, public-sector preparedness, and community-focused right-to-know principles around chemical hazards. A key theme is encouraging a comprehensive approach to emergency planning and training that accounts for the unique challenges of transportation-related hazardous materials responses, where the location, jurisdiction, and available resources can change quickly.
The opportunity was posted on April 1, 2010, with an application closing date of June 1, 2010, and it was archived on July 1, 2010. PHMSA anticipated making about 15 awards under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of $624,583. The listing does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are shown as 0), which typically indicates that applicants should refer to the full announcement or related program guidance for any practical award sizing expectations. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement for this grant, meaning eligible applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
This opportunity is associated with CFDA number 20.703, titled Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants, and it falls under the Transportation funding activity category. The funding instrument is a grant, and eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized.
