Opportunity Summary:
The 2014 PHMSA HMEP Native American Tribes grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HM HMP 14 003) is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through PHMSA Hazmat Grants. It is rooted in the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety and Security Reauthorization Act of 2005, which authorizes DOT to provide assistance for emergency response training and planning to public-sector employees. In practical terms, the program is designed to strengthen how governments prepare for and manage hazardous materials transportation accidents and incidents, with a clear emphasis on improving readiness before an incident occurs rather than only reacting afterward.
The main purpose of the program is to increase the effectiveness of Tribal, State, Territorial, and local entities in safely and efficiently handling hazardous materials events, especially those connected to transportation. It also aims to enhance implementation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), which focuses on emergency planning and public access to information about hazardous and toxic chemicals in communities. A key theme of this opportunity is encouraging a comprehensive approach to emergency preparedness by supporting training and planning that reflects the unique challenges presented by transportation-related hazardous materials situations, such as incidents occurring along highways, rail lines, pipelines, waterways, or remote corridors where resources and specialized response capabilities may be limited.
Eligibility for this specific posting is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is transportation. PHMSA anticipated making about 10 awards under this announcement. The listing is associated with CFDA number 20.703, titled Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants. The program includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are expected to contribute a portion of project costs using non-federal resources, consistent with the terms set by the program.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on February 1, 2014, with a creation date of February 14, 2014. The original closing date was March 31, 2014, but the application deadline was extended to April 14, 2014. The archive date, after which the opportunity would no longer be active for new applications, was May 14, 2014. The award ceiling listed for this opportunity was $654,200, and the award floor was $0, indicating there was a maximum award amount specified while not setting a minimum award size.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or using the electronic application system, the notice directs users to the Grants.gov Contact Center, which is available 24/7 (excluding federal holidays) at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov.
