Opportunity Summary:
The FY12-13 PHMSA HMEP Native American Tribes grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HM-HMP-13-003) is a discretionary U.S. Department of Transportation program administered by PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration) to strengthen hazardous materials emergency preparedness and response capabilities in tribal communities. It is rooted in the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety and Security Reauthorization Act of 2005, which authorizes DOT to provide assistance to public sector employees through training and planning grants. In practical terms, the program is designed to help tribal governments build and improve the systems, plans, and trained personnel needed to respond safely and effectively when hazardous materials are involved in transportation-related accidents or incidents.
The core purpose is threefold. First, it aims to increase Tribal (as well as State, Territorial, and local) effectiveness in handling hazardous materials incidents in a way that is both safe and efficient, recognizing that transportation corridors, remote geography, limited staffing, and mutual aid complexities can make tribal response especially challenging. Second, the program supports stronger implementation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), which focuses on local emergency planning and public access to information about chemical hazards. Third, it encourages a comprehensive approach to emergency training and planning that specifically accounts for the unique challenges posed by transportation scenarios, such as incidents occurring on highways, rail lines, pipelines, or other transit routes where responders may have to manage scene safety, evacuation decisions, coordination with multiple jurisdictions, and rapid identification of unknown materials.
This opportunity uses a grant funding instrument and falls under the Transportation funding activity category. The assistance is specifically targeted to eligible applicants that are federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The program is listed under CFDA 20.703, Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the supported activities in accordance with the program rules.
PHMSA anticipated making about 10 awards under this cycle, with an estimated total funding amount of $634,583. The notice lists an award ceiling and floor as $0, which typically signals that the announcement itself is not specifying a fixed minimum or maximum per award in that data field and that applicants should rely on the full program guidance for how award amounts are determined and what limits, if any, apply. The opportunity was posted on March 13, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 1, 2012, and an archive date of May 31, 2012.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, PHMSA provided a grant support contact: Carrie Brown Winslow (617-494-3318, Carrie.Winslow@dot.gov).
