Opportunity Summary:
The 2013 PHMSA SPSTG (Special Permit Safety Training Grants) opportunity, listed under Funding Opportunity Number HM SPS 13 001, is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) through its Hazmat Grants program. It falls under the transportation funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 20.703, Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants. The purpose of the announcement is to solicit a single national-level applicant to carry out safety training activities related to hazardous materials, with PHMSA specifically inviting applications from national nonprofit employee organizations whose members are engaged solely in fighting fires. In other words, the target applicant pool is narrowly focused on firefighter-only member organizations that operate as national nonprofits.
This opportunity was structured as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) with an unusual level of certainty in funding size. PHMSA expected to make one award total (Expected Awards: 1), and the total estimated funding amount was set at exactly $1,000,000. The award ceiling and award floor were also both $1,000,000, meaning PHMSA anticipated awarding one grant and that the award amount would be exactly one million dollars rather than a range. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds (CostSharingOrMatchingRequirement: No), which generally reduces barriers to participation for nonprofit organizations that may not have substantial non-federal funds to contribute.
Key dates for the announcement show that it was posted on March 14, 2012, created on March 15, 2012, and had an original and current closing date of May 1, 2012, with no changes or extensions noted. The archive date was May 31, 2012, indicating the announcement was formally closed and later archived shortly after the application deadline. The eligible applicant type was categorized broadly as "Others," with clarification provided in the text: eligibility was limited to national nonprofit employee organizations whose members are exclusively engaged in firefighting. The listing does not provide additional eligibility details beyond that statement, and the field labeled EligibilityInformation is shown as "none," implying applicants needed to rely on the full announcement for any further requirements, documentation expectations, or programmatic specifics.
For applicants or interested parties needing help obtaining or accessing the full announcement, PHMSA provided a direct point of contact for grant support: Carrie Brown Winslow, reachable by phone at 617-494-3318 or by email at Carrie.Winslow@dot.gov. An additional information link is referenced as "2013 PHMSA HMEP SPSTG," indicating the full solicitation materials, detailed instructions, and any program guidance were likely available through that linked resource at the time of posting.
