About this file
The provided document is a Budget Narrative Template for the Pipeline Emergency Response Grant (PERG), designed to guide applicants in preparing their budget submissions for the FY 2025 PERG funding opportunity. The template requires detailed documentation of direct and indirect costs across categories including personnel, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contractual expenses, construction, and other costs, with specific instructions for justifying and calculating each budget line item.
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 in high consequence areas. The grant program (CFDA 20.706) anticipates approximately $3.2 million in total funding, with individual awards not exceeding $250,000, focusing on enhancing emergency personnel's capabilities in responding to gas and hazardous liquid pipeline emergencies through training, response planning, exercises, curriculum development, and specialized equipment procurement.

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.
