Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JK321NF0004
The Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) Tribal grant opportunity is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). It is focused on transportation-related hazardous materials preparedness, with the overall intent of helping tribal communities strengthen their ability to plan for, train for, and respond to hazardous materials incidents that can occur during transportation. In practice, this type of program is commonly used to support readiness activities that reduce risk to people, property, and the environment when hazardous materials move through or near tribal lands by highway, rail, pipeline, or other transportation modes.
This specific opportunity is titled "Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) Tribal" and is listed as a grant under the transportation funding activity category. The opportunity number is 693JK321NF0004, and it is associated with CFDA number 20.703 (a catalog identifier used to track federal assistance programs). As a discretionary program, funding decisions are typically made competitively based on how well an applicant's proposal aligns with program goals and requirements, how clearly the need is documented, and how strong and feasible the proposed work plan is.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. That means the intended applicants are tribal governments themselves rather than individuals, private organizations, or non-federally recognized entities. The purpose is to direct preparedness resources to tribal nations that have responsibilities for public safety and emergency management, especially where hazardous materials transportation corridors, facilities, or pipelines create unique risks or planning needs.
Key administrative details provided for this posting include a creation date of January 12, 2021, with an original application closing date of March 9, 2021. The listed award ceiling is $700,000, which indicates the maximum amount that could be awarded for an individual grant under this opportunity as posted. The posting also lists "ExpectedAwards: 0," which can appear in some listings due to how the opportunity was entered or tracked in the system and does not necessarily reflect the real-world intent of the program; applicants typically need to confirm the actual number and size of awards through the full notice of funding opportunity and any agency updates.
Overall, the HMEP Tribal grant opportunity is aimed at improving hazardous materials emergency preparedness capabilities for tribal governments. In general terms, programs under HMEP often support activities like developing or updating emergency response plans, conducting training and exercises for responders and emergency management staff, improving coordination among agencies and jurisdictions, and building capacity to manage hazardous materials incidents tied to transportation. The administering agency for this opportunity is PHMSA within the Department of Transportation, reflecting the program's emphasis on safety and preparedness related to the movement of hazardous materials.Apply for 693JK321NF0004
