Opportunity Information: Apply for HM HMP 17 001
The FY2017 PHMSA HMEP FOA Tribes grant opportunity is a discretionary federal grant program run by the U.S. Department of Transportation through PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration). It is rooted in the Hazardous Materials Transportation Uniform Safety Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-615) and is intended to strengthen emergency preparedness and response for hazardous materials transportation incidents. The broader goal is to help public-sector agencies become more effective at safely and efficiently handling hazardous materials accidents and incidents, while also supporting implementation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA). The program emphasizes that transportation-related hazardous materials emergencies bring unique challenges, so planning and training efforts should specifically account for the realities of incidents that occur along roadways, rail lines, waterways, or other transportation corridors.
The grant is authorized under 49 U.S.C. 5116 and administered under 49 CFR Part 110, with federal grant management requirements governed by 2 CFR Part 200. Funding is intended for two main categories of work. First, planning: recipients may develop, improve, and carry out emergency plans consistent with EPCRA requirements. A key planning activity specifically called out is identifying and understanding hazardous materials flow patterns across tribal lands, including movements within tribal jurisdiction and movements between tribal lands and neighboring state or tribal jurisdictions. This planning focus is designed to make emergency plans realistic, location-specific, and aligned with what is actually moving through the community. Second, training: recipients may train public-sector employees to respond to hazardous materials incidents. Where grant funds are used to train emergency responders, the tribe must ensure that trained personnel gain the capability to protect people, property, and the environment during hazardous materials transportation incidents, and that training aligns with existing regulatory requirements.
Eligibility is tightly restricted. This particular funding announcement applies only to federally recognized Tribes, meaning tribal governments (including Native villages) that are certified by the Secretary of the Interior as eligible for Bureau of Indian Affairs programs and services. The opportunity also allows applications from organizations or intertribal consortia representing federally recognized tribes. For this program, an intertribal consortium is defined as a partnership between two or more tribes that has been authorized by the governing bodies of the participating tribes to apply for and receive assistance under the HMEP program. While only eligible tribal entities can apply as the primary applicant, an ineligible entity is allowed to partner with an eligible applicant.
Key administrative details from the opportunity listing include the following: the funding opportunity title is "FY2017 PHMSA HMEP FOA Tribes" with opportunity number HM HMP 17 001. The instrument type is a grant, the activity category is transportation, and the CFDA number is 20.703. The agency is PHMSA (listed as Hazmat Grants - Inactive). The original closing date was April 3, 2017, and the announcement was created on February 1, 2017. The expected number of awards was 10, and the listed award ceiling was $500,000.
Finally, the notice makes a clear distinction between tribal applicants and other governments: this FOA is only for federally recognized Tribes. States and Territories were directed to apply through a separate HMEP notice of funding opportunity specific to them (referenced as the FY 2019 HMEP States and Territories NOFO), underscoring that tribal funding was being competed under this dedicated tribal announcement rather than the state and territorial track.Apply for HM HMP 17 001
