Opportunity Summary:
The PHMSA 2010 Natural Gas Base Grant is a U.S. Department of Transportation funding opportunity run by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) to support state pipeline safety inspection programs. It is designed to help states carry out the national pipeline safety regulatory mission by strengthening oversight of natural gas pipeline systems and, more broadly, the safe transportation of hazardous materials by pipeline. The legal authority for the program traces back to the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 (as amended), which has since been recodified at 49 U.S.C. Chapter 601. Under that authority, PHMSA partners with states that perform inspections and enforcement activities consistent with federal pipeline safety standards.
Eligibility is limited to state agencies that already hold a PHMSA certification or an agreement authorizing them to conduct pipeline safety inspections. In practice, this means the opportunity is not open to local governments, tribes, nonprofits, universities, or private entities unless they are the designated state agency operating under PHMSA certification or agreement. The goal is to reimburse eligible state pipeline safety programs for a portion of what they spend to administer and enforce pipeline safety requirements within their jurisdiction.
Funding is provided as a grant (a discretionary award) under CFDA 20.700, Pipeline Safety Program State Base Grant. PHMSA is authorized to reimburse a state agency for up to 50 percent of the actual costs of carrying out its pipeline safety program. Allowable cost coverage is described broadly and includes program expenses such as personnel and equipment needed to perform inspections and related safety activities. While the reimbursement cap is set at 50 percent, the amount any state ultimately receives depends on two main factors: the availability of appropriated federal funds and the performance of the state program. Total estimated program funding for the combined State Program Natural Gas and Hazardous Liquid Base Grants was listed as $20,640,000, with funds distributed according to individual state applications rather than a single fixed award amount for all participants.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number DOT PH PHP 10 NG, titled "PHMSA 2010 Natural Gas Base Grant." It was posted June 22, 2009, with an original (and current) closing date of September 30, 2009, and later archived on October 30, 2009. For assistance with accessing the announcement or related grant support issues, the contact listed is Carrie Brown with the PHMSA Grant Team at 617-494-3318, along with PHMSA Grant Support.
