About this file
The document is a Budget Narrative Template for the Pipeline Emergency Response Grant (PERG), designed to guide applicants in preparing their budget estimates and justifications for a federal grant opportunity. The template provides detailed instructions for completing budget sections, including requirements for documenting personnel costs, travel expenses, equipment purchases, and indirect costs. Applicants must provide clear, concise explanations for each budget line item, demonstrating how costs are calculated and their programmatic relevance.
The associated federal grant opportunity, administered by the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA), seeks applications from state, county, and local governments to fund training for emergency responders managing pipeline incidents. The FY 2025 PERG program will distribute approximately $3.2 million, with individual awards not exceeding $250,000, focusing on enhancing emergency personnel's capabilities in responding to gas and hazardous liquid pipeline emergencies in high consequence areas. Eligible activities include response planning, training exercises, curriculum development, and specialized equipment procurement, with the ultimate goal of improving safety in pipeline transportation.

It clearly identifies the basis of estimate (i.e., how the budget number was determined fair and reasonable) for each cost element. The descriptions in the narrative must match the items in the budget chart. The document should be clear, concise, and free of mathematical errors in the line-item budget and budget narrative.

Provide the purpose, method of travel, number of persons traveling, number of days, and estimated cost for each trip. If details of each trip are not known at the time of application submission, provide the basis for determining the amount requested.
