Opportunity Summary:
The FY13-14 PHMSA HMEP States and Territories grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HM-HMP-13-006) is a discretionary U.S. Department of Transportation grant administered by PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration) under the Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) program. It was created and posted in March 2013, with an application deadline of April 19, 2013, and it was archived on May 19, 2013. The program sits within the transportation funding activity area and is listed under CFDA 20.703, Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants.
At its core, this opportunity is meant to strengthen how public-sector responders and planners prepare for and manage hazardous materials transportation incidents. The legal basis comes from the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety and Security Reauthorization Act of 2005, which authorizes DOT to provide assistance for training and planning aimed at emergency response. The grant emphasizes practical readiness for real-world transportation-related hazardous materials events, where response conditions can be more complex than fixed-site incidents due to factors like moving vehicles, unknown cargo conditions, limited access, multi-jurisdictional coordination, and time-sensitive public safety decisions.
The program goals focus on three closely related outcomes. First, it aims to increase the effectiveness of State, Territorial, Tribal, and local entities in handling hazardous materials accidents and incidents safely and efficiently. This includes improving readiness across the full incident cycle, such as preparedness, response coordination, responder safety, and operational decision-making. Second, it explicitly supports stronger implementation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), which is centered on community-level hazardous chemical planning, reporting, and public information. Third, it encourages a more comprehensive and integrated approach to emergency training and planning by taking into account the unique challenges posed by transportation scenarios, not just facility-based releases. In practice, that means supporting planning and training that reflect how hazardous materials move through communities by road, rail, air, and water, and how response operations must adapt when incidents occur along transportation corridors.
Eligibility is limited to State governments (with the program description also referencing States, Territories, and Native American tribes as the broader intended recipients for emergency response support). The opportunity anticipated 56 awards, suggesting a wide distribution across jurisdictions. The estimated total funding available was $21,145,998, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000 and no stated award floor (listed as $0). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project costs as part of the grant structure.
