Opportunity Summary:
The DOT PHMSA 2011 Hazardous Liquid Base Grant is a continuation grant administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) to help fund state pipeline safety inspection programs, specifically those involving hazardous liquid pipelines (such as petroleum and other hazardous materials transported by pipeline). The underlying purpose of the program is to support PHMSA's national pipeline safety regulatory framework by strengthening state capacity to carry out inspections and related oversight activities that keep pipeline transportation safer for the public and the environment.
Eligibility is narrowly limited. Only state agencies that already hold a 49 U.S.C. 60105 Certification and/or a 49 U.S.C. 60106 Agreement with PHMSA qualify to apply. In practical terms, that means the grant is intended for states that are formally authorized to participate in pipeline safety inspections under federal law and PHMSA oversight. The opportunity is not open to local governments, nonprofits, universities, or private entities unless they are part of an eligible state agency program that meets those certification or agreement requirements.
The program authority is rooted in the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968, as amended, which has since been recodified as 49 U.S.C. Chapter 601. While the Act covers natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) as well as other gases, this particular funding notice is focused on the hazardous liquid side of state pipeline safety programming. PHMSA uses these base grants to help states implement and maintain inspection and enforcement activities consistent with federal standards, which can include inspections, compliance activities, and other program functions necessary to run a state pipeline safety program.
Funding is provided on a cost-reimbursement basis with required cost sharing. PHMSA is authorized to reimburse up to 80 percent of a state's actual eligible costs for operating its pipeline safety program, including personnel and equipment expenses. The remaining share is generally covered by the state. The final reimbursement amount can vary, because it depends on how much federal funding Congress appropriates for the program in that year and on the state's program performance as evaluated by PHMSA. For this funding cycle, PHMSA estimated total program funding at $36,459,000 for the combined State Program Natural Gas and Hazardous Liquid Base Grants, with funds distributed based on individual state applications rather than a single fixed award size. The notice lists an expectation of 16 awards and sets no minimum award floor.
Key administrative details from the opportunity listing include: Funding Opportunity Number DOT PH PHP 11 HL; CFDA 20.700 (Pipeline Safety Program State Base Grant); activity category Transportation; instrument type Grant; cost sharing required; posted June 9, 2010; with an application closing date of September 30, 2010 (and an archive date of December 31, 2010).
