Opportunity Summary:
The 2014 PHMSA HMEP States and Territories grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HM-HMP-14-002) was a discretionary U.S. Department of Transportation grant administered by PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration) under CFDA 20.703, Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants. It was built on authority provided by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety and Security Reauthorization Act of 2005, which allows DOT to offer financial assistance aimed at strengthening public-sector preparedness for hazardous materials transportation emergencies. In practical terms, the program focused on helping government agencies and public employees plan for, and respond to, accidents and incidents involving hazardous materials, especially when those events occur in transportation settings where the challenges and risks can be different from fixed-facility incidents.
The core purpose of the funding was to increase the effectiveness of State, Territorial, Tribal, and local responders in handling hazardous materials incidents safely and efficiently. The grant also explicitly supported stronger implementation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), tying the program to broader emergency planning and community information responsibilities. Another key emphasis was encouraging a comprehensive, coordinated approach to training and planning, including efforts that recognize the unique complexities of transportation-related hazmat events such as incidents on highways, rail corridors, waterways, or other transit routes where access, scene control, and inter-jurisdictional coordination can be especially difficult.
Eligibility for this specific opportunity was listed as State governments, and the program anticipated making a relatively large number of awards, with an expected 56 grants. The estimated total funding available was $21,145,998, with individual awards ranging from a floor of $50,000 up to a ceiling of $1,500,000. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning recipients were expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project cost rather than relying entirely on federal dollars.
As a transportation-focused funding opportunity, the grant supported activities consistent with emergency response training and emergency planning for hazardous materials incidents, aimed at improving readiness across multiple levels of government and supporting compliance and performance under EPCRA-related planning frameworks. The posting timeline indicates it was initially posted on February 1, 2014, with a creation date of February 14, 2014. The original application closing date was March 31, 2014, later extended to April 14, 2014, and the opportunity was archived on May 14, 2014.
