Opportunity Summary:
The 2012 State Damage Prevention (SDP) Grants opportunity is a discretionary federal grant program offered by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) within the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Its purpose is to fund state-level efforts that either establish or strengthen programs aimed at preventing damage to underground pipeline facilities. In practical terms, the program is focused on reducing incidents caused by excavation and other ground-disturbing activities that can strike buried gas or hazardous liquid pipelines, improving public safety and reliability by raising the overall effectiveness and consistency of damage prevention practices.
PHMSA expects to make multiple awards under this opportunity, with an estimated 15 grants funded. The estimated total funding available is $1,500,000. Individual awards can be as high as $100,000, and the listed award floor is $0, meaning PHMSA is not committing to a minimum award amount per recipient. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which means states do not have to provide a required non-federal match to be eligible for funding under this solicitation.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, specifically to any state authority designated by the Governor. The announcement also notes that a municipality may apply when the request relates to intrastate gas pipeline transportation, reflecting the fact that local entities may have a direct operational role in certain intrastate gas oversight and damage prevention responsibilities. To qualify, the state must be participating in pipeline safety oversight under an active annual certification pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 60105 or an agreement pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 60106 with PHMSA. In addition, the state must already have an effective damage prevention program in place or must have made substantial progress toward establishing an effective program. This framing makes the grants both an improvement tool for existing programs and a way to help states finish building a program that is already meaningfully underway.
The grant is identified under Funding Opportunity Number DTPH56-11-SN-000003 and is listed under CFDA 20.720, State Damage Prevention Program Grants. The funding activity category is labeled as “Other,” with the agency clarifying the focus area as “Damage Prevention.” The opportunity was posted and created on June 16, 2011, with an application closing date of August 17, 2011 (the original and current closing dates are the same). While the title refers to “2012” grants, the solicitation timeline indicates applications were collected during the 2011 posting window for the 2012 program cycle.
