Opportunity Summary:
The FY12-13 PHMSA HMEP States and Territories grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HM-HMP-13-004) is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration). It is authorized under the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety and Security Reauthorization Act of 2005 and is designed to strengthen the public sector's ability to prepare for and respond to hazardous materials transportation incidents. In practical terms, the program provides funding so states and territories can improve emergency planning and deliver training for responders and other public employees who may be involved in managing hazardous materials accidents or incidents, especially those that occur during transportation.
The central purpose of the program is to increase effectiveness at multiple levels of government: state, territorial, tribal, and local. The funding supports efforts that help jurisdictions handle hazardous materials incidents more safely and efficiently, with an emphasis on real-world transportation scenarios where the challenges can be different than fixed-facility incidents (for example, spills or releases from trucks, railcars, pipelines, or other transport modes). The opportunity also explicitly aims to enhance implementation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), reinforcing the idea that strong planning, coordination, and information-sharing are key parts of preparedness. Another stated goal is encouraging a comprehensive approach to training and planning, meaning the program is meant to promote coordinated, system-wide readiness rather than isolated, one-off training events.
This opportunity is categorized under the Transportation funding activity area and uses the standard grant funding instrument. PHMSA anticipated making about 56 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $21,165,417. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $50,000 up to a ceiling of $1,500,000, indicating the program could support both smaller-scale capability improvements and larger statewide or regional planning and training initiatives. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project cost in accordance with program rules.
Eligibility for this specific listing is limited to state governments (as reflected in the eligible applicants field), even though the broader program purpose references states, territories, and Native American tribes. The assistance is intended for public sector employees, supporting training and planning activities that improve preparedness, response coordination, and compliance with EPCRA-related planning expectations. The program is associated with CFDA number 20.703, titled "Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants," which is the federal assistance listing used to track and report this type of funding.
Key timeline details show 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 who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was PHMSA Grants.gov Support representative Carrie Brown Winslow (617-494-3318, Carrie.Winslow@dot.gov). An additional information link referenced "2013 PHMSA HMEP States and Territories," which indicates PHMSA maintained related program materials and guidance for applicants and recipients.
