The Department of Transportation offers the PHMSA grant to federally recognized Native American Tribes for emergency response training and planning. The grant aims to enhance the handling of hazardous materials incidents, improve compliance with the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, and address challenges specific to transportation-related emergencies. Applicants can apply for training, planning, or both components in a single application. PHMSA simplifies the process by combining both components in one grant award. The closing date for applications is April 3, 2015.

Certain grants waived the match portion of grants or required a lower amount, 5% for applicants considered to be a low economic criteria zone. A3.

| Questions and Answers Regarding Tribal HMEP Grant Applications Q1. Is HMEP application webinar available online? A1. Yes. Please click on the following URL: http://www.phmsa.dot.gov/portal/site/PHMSA/menuitem.6f23687cf7b00b0f22e4c6962d9c8789/?vgnextoid=b54948a334b78310VgnVCM1000001ecb7898RCRD&vgnextchannel=b9623074e1db8110VgnVCM1000009ed07898RCRD&vgnextfmt=print Q2. Regarding the match requirements, if we are applying for both planning and training, does the 20% match apply to each section separately or in combination? The State of Nebraska is pledging an in-kind match for us from planning and training time. A2. Yes. In accordance with 49 U.S. Code § 5116 (d), for both training and planning grants, States, Native American Tribes and The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico must contribute a minimum of 20% matching share to the total cost of the grant project. Thus, if the total cost of the project is $50,000, the State must provide at least $10,000, and DOT will provide no more than $40,000. The matching requirement must be satisfied by costs incurred by the grantee or by the value of in-kind contributions. All matching funds must meet the Federal requirements as described in 2 CFR § 200.306 Cost sharing or matching. Funds or costs used for matching purposes under any other Federal grant or cooperative agreement may not be used for HMEP matching proposes. The 5-year averaged non-Federal aggregate amount cannot be used for matching (in other words, the State’s matching share must be new money, either new State funds or new in-kind contributions). Applicants must clearly indicate in the budget narrative how the matching requirements will be met for the project. The budget narrative guidance document in Section H contains additional information on how to include match in the grant application. ************************************************** |
