Version History

Version Modification Description Updated Date
Response to questions received from applicants: Question: What does the statement of aggregate expenditures mean in the FOA on page 11? ? “(e) Statement of aggregate expenditures – Provide a statement that aggregate expenditure of funds for this purpose, exclusive of Federal funds, will not fall below the average level of its expenditures for its last 5 fiscal years.”

Answer: This is in 49 U.S.C. § 5116(a)(3)(A). What this is asking you to do is to certify that your state (or tribe) isn’t supplanting Federal dollars with dollars that you would have spent anyway in the past 5 years to plan and train to respond to hazmat transportation incidents. The Federal government wants states (or tribes) to maintain the effort they were already making towards this effort.

Responses to questions received from applicants.

Question: How do applicants submit the required ED-80-0013 and Title VI Assurances forms?

Answer: Grantees will need to print out and sign: (1) ED-80-0013, and (2) Title VI Assurances. These forms, with signatures, will then be submitted as attachments. The forms may be found as in the FOA Package – on pages 31 and 32.

Question: In FY15 applicants were required to submit programmatic certifications for planning and training grants. Are these required for the FY16 application?

Answer: No. Due to the statutory changes in the Fast Act, the programmatic certification forms are no longer used. However, the statutory requirements should be followed in the Project Narrative Required Sections, located on page 10 of the FY16 HMEP funding announcement.
