Opportunity Summary:
The 2012 PHMSA HMEP Native American Tribes grant (Funding Opportunity Number HM HMP 12 002) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through PHMSA Hazmat Grants under CFDA 20.703, titled "Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants." It was created and posted in early April 2011 (posted March 31, 2011; created April 5, 2011) with an application deadline of June 1, 2011, and it was later archived on July 1, 2011. PHMSA anticipated making about 10 awards under this opportunity, with an estimated total program funding level of $634,583. The announcement lists award floor and ceiling as $0, which typically means applicants should rely on the full solicitation and program guidance for expected award sizing rather than assuming a fixed minimum or maximum.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The program includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project costs according to the rules laid out in the full grant guidance. The overall activity area is transportation, with a specific focus on hazardous materials (hazmat) preparedness tied to transportation-related incidents.
The grant is authorized by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety and Security Reauthorization Act of 2005, which empowers USDOT to provide training and planning assistance for public sector employees involved in emergency response. The core purpose is to strengthen tribal, state, territorial, and local capability to handle hazmat accidents and incidents safely and efficiently. In practice, that emphasis covers both preparedness activities (planning, coordination, drills, and procedures) and personnel readiness (training for responders, planners, and other public-sector staff who would have roles during a hazmat event).
A major program goal is to support and improve implementation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA). EPCRA is the federal framework that promotes local emergency planning for chemical hazards and public access to information about chemical risks. By tying the grant to EPCRA outcomes, PHMSA is signaling that funded efforts should not only build general response capability, but also reinforce structured planning, information sharing, and community right-to-know objectives that help communities anticipate and manage chemical hazards.
Another key feature of the opportunity is its explicit focus on the unique challenges posed by transportation-related hazmat scenarios. Transportation incidents can involve moving shipments, unfamiliar materials, rapidly changing scenes, jurisdictional complexity, and the need for quick coordination across responders and agencies. The program encourages a comprehensive approach to emergency training and planning that accounts for these transportation-specific realities, rather than treating hazmat preparedness as a purely fixed-site or industrial facility issue.
