Opportunity Summary:
The Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) is a federally supported preparedness grant program aimed at strengthening emergency readiness in communities and states located near U.S. Army chemical weapons stockpile sites. The program exists to reduce risk to the public, on-site workers, and the environment by ensuring that state and local partners have the planning, training, systems, and operational capabilities needed to respond effectively to a chemical incident associated with the storage or demilitarization of chemical agents. In practice, CSEPP is designed to complement the Army's own responsibilities by building robust off-post emergency preparedness and coordination, so that surrounding jurisdictions can detect, warn, protect, and support affected populations if an emergency occurs.
CSEPP is funded under the Army's chemical demilitarization program, which is described as a major defense acquisition program. It specifically augments the work of the Army's Chemical Materials Activity (CMA), whose mission is to safely store the chemical stockpile while providing maximum protection for workers, the public, and the environment. Oversight on the Army side is attributed to the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (ASA ALT) through the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense (JPEO CBD), reflecting that this is not simply a general preparedness effort but one tightly connected to a specialized national defense and hazard-reduction mission.
On the FEMA side, the program sits within the Technological Hazards Division (THD) of FEMA's National Preparedness Directorate. FEMA administers its responsibilities through a national program office at FEMA Headquarters and through regional FEMA program offices located in the regions where chemical installations are present. This structure signals that the program is managed both centrally for consistency and locally for close coordination with the specific states and jurisdictions that face these risks. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means FEMA expects an active partnership role during implementation rather than a purely hands-off grant relationship.
This specific opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 15 NPD 040 000 99) was listed as a continuation award category, indicating it was intended to continue ongoing program efforts rather than start an entirely new initiative from scratch. It fell under the broader funding activity category of Disaster Prevention and Relief and was associated with CFDA number 97.040, the catalog listing tied to the CSEPP program. The total estimated funding for the opportunity was $12,531,336, with an anticipated two awards. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, meaning eligible applicants were not required to contribute a defined non-federal share as a condition of receiving funds. The opportunity listed no specific award floor or ceiling in the posting (both shown as 0), which usually implies award amounts are determined by program needs, negotiated work plans, or allocations rather than a fixed minimum or maximum stated in the synopsis.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, which aligns with CSEPP's emphasis on statewide emergency management capability and coordination across multiple local jurisdictions around chemical sites. The sponsoring agency was the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on March 31, 2015, with an application closing date of April 30, 2015, and an archive date of May 30, 2015, meaning it is a historical posting rather than an open solicitation today.
For additional program information, the posting referenced www.cseppwebca.net. The listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Terry Hobbs, Branch Chief, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, National Preparedness Directorate, Technological Hazards Division, reachable at 703-605-1379 and Terry.Hobbs@fema.dhs.gov.
