Opportunity Summary:
The FY13-14 PHMSA HMEP Native American Tribes grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HM-HMP-13-005) is a discretionary federal grant program run by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under the Hazmat Grants program office. It is authorized by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety and Security Reauthorization Act of 2005 and is designed to strengthen hazardous materials (hazmat) preparedness and response capabilities by funding training and planning activities for public sector emergency response personnel. The program specifically emphasizes improving how communities prevent, prepare for, and respond to hazmat transportation incidents, which often require different tactics and coordination than fixed-facility chemical emergencies because the scene can be mobile, unpredictable, and spread across road, rail, pipeline, or other transport corridors.
The core purpose is threefold. First, it aims to increase the effectiveness of state, territorial, tribal, and local organizations in safely and efficiently managing hazmat accidents and incidents, with a focus on transportation-related scenarios. Second, it supports stronger implementation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), which underpins community hazard awareness, local emergency planning, and coordination with facilities and stakeholders that handle hazardous substances. Third, it encourages a comprehensive, coordinated approach to emergency training and planning that accounts for the unique challenges tribes and local jurisdictions face when incidents occur in transit, such as jurisdictional boundaries, mutual aid needs, rural response distances, limited specialized equipment, communication hurdles, and the need to integrate multiple agencies quickly.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The opportunity is categorized under Transportation, uses the grant funding instrument, and does not require cost sharing or matching funds. PHMSA anticipated making about 10 awards, with an estimated total program funding amount of $654,000. The announcement lists no formal award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0), which typically indicates that award sizes may vary based on program decisions, applicant needs, and the quality and scope of proposed activities rather than being constrained by a fixed minimum or maximum in the public listing.
For timing, the opportunity was posted on March 1, 2013, created in the system on March 14, 2013, and had an application closing date of April 19, 2013 (with no changes noted). The opportunity was archived on May 19, 2013. The associated CFDA number is 20.703, titled Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants, which is the federal assistance listing commonly tied to HMEP funding.
Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or seeking program support were directed to PHMSA's HMEP Grant Program Office via HMEP.Grants@dot.gov or by phone at (202) 366-1109, with an additional information link labeled "FY13 PHMSA HMEP Native American Tribes" referenced in the announcement.
