Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 National Dam Safety Program Grant (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 MT 041 000 03) is a discretionary grant program administered by the Department of Homeland Security through FEMA under CFDA 97.041, National Dam Safety Program. The core purpose of the opportunity is public safety and risk reduction: FEMA uses these funds to support state-level dam safety efforts intended to protect people, property, and critical infrastructure in the United States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico from the consequences of dam failure. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help participating jurisdictions take preventive and preparedness steps that improve dam safety outcomes rather than responding after an incident occurs.
This opportunity falls under the mitigation umbrella, specifically framed as risk analysis and dam safety. While the source summary does not list a detailed menu of allowable activities, the program description signals that funds are directed toward precautions and measures that strengthen state dam safety programs and reduce the likelihood and potential impact of dam failures. Because it is categorized as “Mitigation - Risk Analysis/Dam Safety,†the emphasis is on identifying risks, improving oversight and safety practices, and supporting state program capabilities that contribute to safer dam operation and management.
Eligibility is limited to the state dam safety programs in fifty-one (51) states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The listing uses “Others†as the general applicant type, but the eligibility clarification makes it clear this is not open to local governments, nonprofits, universities, or private entities unless they are applying through or as the designated state dam safety program. The intent is to route federal support directly to the official programs responsible for dam safety at the state or territorial level.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the total estimated amount available for this FY 2012 opportunity is $7,134,100. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or award floor (both are shown as 0), which typically indicates that award sizing may depend on program formulas, allocation decisions, or other criteria described in the full announcement rather than being constrained by a stated minimum or maximum in the summary record. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients should expect to contribute non-federal resources toward the supported activities in accordance with the rules laid out in the full funding notice.
Key dates in the posting indicate that the opportunity appeared publicly on September 6, 2012, with an original closing date of September 12, 2012, later extended to a current closing date of September 21, 2012. The record also shows a creation date of September 19, 2012 and an archive date of October 21, 2012, reflecting the administrative timeline for the listing on grants.gov rather than the program’s broader lifecycle. Applicants were directed to grants.gov for the full announcement and application materials.
