About this file
The TAG Budget Narrative TEMPLATE.docx is a comprehensive budget preparation document for the Pipeline Safety Information Grants to Communities: Technical Assistance Grants (TAG) program. The template provides detailed instructions for applicants to create a budget narrative and estimate direct and indirect costs, requiring precise documentation of personnel, travel, equipment, and other expenses. Key requirements include breaking down personnel costs by position and hourly rates, providing travel cost details including purpose and number of travelers, and explaining equipment costs in compliance with 2 CFR 200.439.
The related federal grant opportunity, FY 2025 TAG Awards, is administered by the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under CFDA Number 20.710. The program provides funding between $13,500 and $1,000,000 (with most awards around $100,000) to local communities, non-profit organizations, and governmental subdivisions for technical assistance related to pipeline safety. The current opportunity anticipates total funding of $2 million, with individual awards not exceeding $100,000 (except for one $1 million award), focusing on engineering analysis, scientific review, and activities that enhance public participation in pipeline safety operations.

3. The budget narrative explains in a clear and concise manner the costs in each budget category, and which budget items will be covered by the grant.

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.

· If your proposal includes travel costs, please include adequate details on how the cost has been calculated. Travel costs are those costs for transportation, lodging, subsistence, and related items requested for fieldwork or for travel to professional meetings associated with grant activities. 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.
