Opportunity Summary:
The 2011 PHMSA HMEP States and Territories grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HM HMP 11 001) is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration). It is authorized under the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety and Reauthorization Act of 2005 and is designed to strengthen public-sector capabilities for emergency preparedness and response involving hazardous materials, especially when those materials are being transported.
At its core, the program funds training and planning activities for public-sector employees so that jurisdictions can handle hazardous materials accidents and incidents more safely and efficiently. A major emphasis is improving readiness not only for fixed-facility hazards, but for transportation-related scenarios where conditions can be more unpredictable, involve multiple jurisdictions, and require specialized coordination. The opportunity also explicitly supports stronger implementation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), which underpins local emergency planning, chemical inventory reporting, and community right-to-know efforts. In practice, this means the grant is meant to reinforce both the operational side (training responders and planners) and the administrative/planning side (building and maintaining effective emergency plans, procedures, and coordination mechanisms).
Funding for this cycle was estimated at $21,165,417 in total, with PHMSA expecting to make about 60 awards. Individual award amounts were anticipated to range from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $1,050,000, indicating the program could support both smaller jurisdictions with targeted needs and larger statewide efforts with broader programmatic reach. The grant falls under CFDA 20.703, titled Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with program rules (the notice flags that matching is required, and applicants typically need to plan budgets accordingly).
Eligibility for this specific listing is shown as state governments, although the broader HMEP authorizing language referenced in the announcement highlights assistance aimed at States, Territories, and Native American tribes in support of emergency response. The funding activity category is Transportation, and the funding instrument is a Grant. The posting and creation date for the opportunity was April 1, 2010, and the application closing date was June 1, 2010, with the archive date listed as July 1, 2010. The announcement also provided an additional information link labeled "2011 PHMSA HMEP States Territories," implying that applicants were expected to consult the full program announcement for detailed allowable costs, match requirements, application components, and evaluation criteria.
