Opportunity Summary:
The FY14 National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 14 MT 041 000 01) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through FEMA. It was designed to strengthen dam safety nationwide by helping state governments develop, improve, and sustain their statutory dam safety programs. In practical terms, the program focuses on giving states the support needed to run core dam safety activities that reduce the risk of dam failures and related hazards, ultimately protecting people, property, and critical infrastructure downstream.
This opportunity fell under the mitigation area, specifically tied to risk analysis and dam safety. The central purpose was to enable state dam safety agencies to maintain and enhance program functions that help ensure dams are safely designed, operated, inspected, and managed over time. While the public synopsis is brief, NDSP funding is generally associated with the kinds of activities states need to carry out to meet dam safety responsibilities, such as supporting program administration, improving inspection and regulatory capacity, promoting sound engineering and safety practices, strengthening emergency planning and preparedness around dams, and generally ensuring states can take preventative precautions before problems become disasters.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, reflecting the program goal of reinforcing state-level dam safety programs established by statute. FEMA anticipated making awards to all eligible jurisdictions, with an expected 51 awards, which aligns with the 50 states plus additional eligible jurisdictions that often participate in federal state-assistance programs. The total estimated funding available for FY14 was $7,651,000. The listing notes no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning states were not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving funds. The funding announcement did not specify an award ceiling or floor in the summary fields, which typically indicates that individual award amounts would be determined by the program formula, appropriations, and applicant eligibility rather than a single fixed minimum or maximum.
The program is cataloged under CFDA number 97.041 (National Dam Safety Program), and the funding instrument type was a grant. The opportunity was posted on May 1, 2014, with the application closing date of June 6, 2014, and it was later archived on July 11, 2014. Applicants and interested parties were directed to Grants.gov for full announcement materials and application instructions. For technical issues accessing the announcement, FEMA listed the Grants Management Division Systems Branch as the point of contact via email at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
