Opportunity Summary:
The State Damage Prevention Grants opportunity is a discretionary federal grant program run by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) within the U.S. Department of Transportation. Its main goal is to help States either build a comprehensive program to prevent damage to underground pipeline facilities where such a program does not yet exist, or strengthen and modernize an existing program so it works more effectively. The broader intent is to reduce excavation-related incidents and other forms of third-party damage to buried pipelines by supporting stronger oversight, enforcement, education, coordination, and program infrastructure at the State level.
This grant authority comes from Section 2 of the PIPES Act, which added the State Damage Prevention Program Grant to federal pipeline safety law at 49 USC 60134. The law describes nine elements that make up an effective State damage prevention program. PHMSA points applicants to its Damage Prevention Assistance Program (DPAP) guidance document for additional detail on those elements, but makes clear that the guidance is not a rigid template. States can propose activities in whatever sequence and structure makes the most sense for their situation, as long as the application credibly advances a comprehensive damage prevention program and improves real-world outcomes.
Eligible applicants are State governments, specifically the State authority designated by the Governor to be responsible for preventing damage to underground pipeline facilities. The eligibility language also notes that a municipality may qualify with respect to intrastate gas pipeline transportation, but only when acting as the relevant State authority for that purpose. To be eligible, the State must participate in pipeline safety oversight through an annual 49 U.S.C. 60105 certification or a 49 U.S.C. 60106 agreement that is in effect with PHMSA, which ties the funding to States that are already engaged in federal-state pipeline safety oversight arrangements.
Funding for this particular announcement totals an estimated 1,500,000 dollars, with PHMSA expecting to make about 15 awards. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is 100,000 dollars, and the minimum (floor) is listed as 0, meaning PHMSA did not set a required minimum grant size. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which means States generally are not required to contribute a specific non-federal match to receive funds under this notice.
PHMSA also highlights how this program relates to, but is separate from, PHMSA's One Call grant program. Awards under this State Damage Prevention Grants announcement do not affect One Call grants, and One Call funding is issued under a different announcement. A State can apply for both programs at the same time as long as the deliverables are different under each grant. PHMSA states it will coordinate reviews to prevent duplicate funding for the same deliverable across both programs, so applicants should clearly separate activities, outputs, and budgets to avoid overlap.
Key administrative details included in the source are: Funding Opportunity Number DTPH56-09-SN-0001, CFDA 20.720 (State Damage Prevention Program Grants), posting date October 3, 2008, and a closing date of December 1, 2008 (with the same date listed as both the original and current closing date). The opportunity was later archived on January 1, 2009. The listed contact for access issues with the full announcement is Carrie Brown, PHMSA Grant Support, at (617) 494-3318.
