Opportunity Summary:
The Fuel Tax Evasion Intergovernmental Enforcement Efforts grant is a discretionary Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) program under the U.S. Department of Transportation that supports coordinated enforcement aimed at reducing motor fuel tax and other highway-use excise tax evasion. The program traces back to SAFETEA-LU (Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users), enacted in 2005, when Congress expanded funding for Highway Use Tax Evasion Projects and also created this specific “Intergovernmental Enforcement Efforts” component to encourage multi-agency collaboration rather than isolated enforcement efforts. The central idea is to fund practical, on-the-ground strategies that improve detection, investigation, and prevention of fuel tax evasion through better coordination among public agencies that have related authority or data.
For FY 2010, FHWA announced approximately $2,000,000 in total funding to be awarded annually through this program, with an expectation of about 12 awards. Individual awards were anticipated to range from a floor of $10,000 up to a ceiling of $250,000. As context for the scale of awards, the notice referenced FY 2009 results, where thirteen grants were awarded in amounts ranging from $62,500 to $247,755.07. Those prior awards were associated with “innovative proposals” that strengthened collaboration and coordination across multiple public entities, reflecting the program’s emphasis on intergovernmental and interagency enforcement models rather than single-agency projects.
Eligible applicants for this opportunity included state governments and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible for jurisdictions that may have limited ability to provide non-federal contributions. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is transportation, reflecting FHWA’s role and the nexus between fuel tax compliance and transportation infrastructure funding.
Key administrative details for the FY 2010 solicitation included the Funding Opportunity Number FHWA FTE 2010 01 and CFDA number 20.240 (Fuel Tax Evasion Intergovernmental Enforcement Effort). The opportunity was posted July 6, 2010, with an application deadline of August 6, 2010, and an archive date of September 5, 2010. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Michael Dougherty, Program Analyst, at (202) 366-9234.
