Opportunity Summary:
The DOT PHMSA 2013 Hazardous Liquid Base Grant (Funding Opportunity Number: DOT PH PHP 13 HL) is a mandatory federal grant program run by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). Its purpose is to support state pipeline safety programs that help ensure the safe transportation of hazardous liquids (such as petroleum and other hazardous materials) by pipeline, as part of PHMSA's broader national pipeline safety regulatory mission covering natural gas, hazardous liquids, and other regulated pipeline materials.
Eligibility is narrowly limited to state agencies that already participate in PHMSA's pipeline safety oversight framework through either a 60105 Certification and/or a 60106 Agreement. In practical terms, only states that have been formally authorized by PHMSA under these authorities to perform pipeline safety inspections can apply. The legal foundation for this program traces back to the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968, as amended, which authorizes federal regulation of pipeline transportation of flammable, toxic, or corrosive gases and related areas such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) transportation and storage. This authority has been recodified in federal law as 49 U.S.C. Chapter 601, which is the statutory basis PHMSA relies on for the state pipeline safety partnership and reimbursement structure.
Funding is structured as a cost-sharing arrangement. PHMSA can reimburse a participating state agency for up to 80 percent of its actual, allowable costs of carrying out the state pipeline safety program. These costs can include personnel (for example, inspector salaries and related labor expenses) and equipment needed to conduct inspections and oversight activities. Because the reimbursement is performance- and funding-dependent, the exact amount a state receives is not guaranteed at the full 80 percent. Final reimbursement levels depend on two main factors: (1) how much funding Congress appropriates and makes available for the program, and (2) the state's program performance. Total funding for the State Program Natural Gas and Hazardous Liquid Base Grants is also explicitly subject to the enactment of an appropriations bill, and funds are distributed based on individual state applications rather than being automatically allocated at a fixed amount.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted August 1, 2012, with an application closing date of September 30, 2012 (the original and current closing dates match). The program was archived December 31, 2012. The listing anticipated about 14 awards and is associated with CFDA number 20.700 (Pipeline Safety Program State Base Grant). The award floor was listed as $0, signaling that award sizes vary and depend on state applications and available funding rather than a guaranteed minimum. For applicant support or access issues with the full announcement, PHMSA provided a grants contact: Carrie Winslow, PHMSA Grant Team, phone 757-689-3168, with PHMSA Grant Support listed as the support channel.
