Opportunity Information: Apply for HM CST 17 001
The FY 2017 Community Safety Grant Notice of Funding Opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HM CST 17 001) is a competitive, discretionary federal grant offered under the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Community Safety Grant Program. The program is authorized and funded through the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), Public Law 114-94, enacted on December 4, 2015. The overall purpose is to strengthen public safety by improving how communities and enforcement personnel prepare for, respond to, and oversee the safe transportation of hazardous materials, with specific attention to Class 3 flammable liquids moved by rail.
This opportunity focuses on two main project types. First, PHMSA is seeking nonprofit-led national outreach and training efforts that help communities build readiness for hazardous materials transportation accidents and incidents. That includes practical training and public-facing outreach aimed at improving community-level preparedness and response capabilities when hazardous materials are involved. Second, the grant supports training for state and local personnel who are responsible for enforcing hazardous materials transportation safety requirements. In other words, the program is not only about public or community readiness, but also about improving the skills and consistency of the people charged with oversight and enforcement in the field, again explicitly including Class 3 flammable liquids.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits that do not hold 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. The funding instrument is a grant, and the funding activity category is transportation. The listing is associated with CFDA number 20.703. The notice was created on August 4, 2017, and the original application closing date was September 4, 2017.
In terms of funding scale, the notice lists an award ceiling of up to $1,000,000. The source information provided does not specify the number of expected awards. Overall, the grant is structured to support national-level training and outreach capacity among nonprofits, with the practical end goal of reducing risk and improving outcomes when hazardous materials incidents occur, while also strengthening the competence of state and local enforcement personnel responsible for safe hazardous materials transportation.Apply for HM CST 17 001
