Opportunity Summary:
The 2012 PHMSA HMEP States and Territories grant (Funding Opportunity Number HM HMP 12 003) is a discretionary federal grant program run 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 Security Reauthorization Act of 2005 and is designed to strengthen how public sector organizations prepare for and respond to hazardous materials transportation incidents. In practical terms, the program provides funding to improve emergency response readiness by supporting both training and planning efforts that help communities manage hazardous materials accidents and incidents more safely and efficiently.
The main goals of the opportunity are threefold: first, to increase the effectiveness of State, Territorial, Tribal, and local emergency response organizations when hazardous materials incidents occur, especially those connected to transportation; second, to support and strengthen implementation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), which focuses on community awareness and coordinated planning for chemical hazards; and third, to encourage a comprehensive, coordinated approach to emergency preparedness by addressing the specific challenges of hazardous materials releases during transportation (for example, incidents occurring on highways, rail lines, or other transit corridors where access, jurisdictional boundaries, and rapid identification of materials can complicate response). The program emphasizes building capability ahead of time through structured planning and targeted training for public employees involved in hazardous materials preparedness and response.
This funding opportunity is categorized under Transportation and uses a Grant funding instrument. The CFDA number associated with it is 20.703 (Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants). The estimated total funding available is $21,165,417, and PHMSA expected to make 56 awards. Individual awards were anticipated to range from a floor of $50,000 up to a ceiling of $1,050,000, indicating that both smaller and larger statewide or territory-wide initiatives could potentially be supported depending on need and proposed scope. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project costs as part of the award structure.
Eligibility for this specific announcement is listed as State governments, and the program description also references assistance to States, Territories, and Native American tribes as part of its broader statutory purpose. The opportunity was posted on March 31, 2011, with an application closing date of June 1, 2011, and it was archived on July 1, 2011. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or navigating the process were directed to PHMSA Grant Support, with Carrie Brown Winslow named as a contact (617-494-3318, Carrie.Winslow@dot.gov).
