About this opportunity
The Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) Grant Program, administered by the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), seeks to enhance state, territorial, and tribal capabilities in safely managing hazardous materials incidents. The grant focuses on providing financial and technical assistance for emergency planning, training, and preparedness activities, with a requirement that 75% of funds be used for public sector emergency response employee training and planning. Eligible applicants include state governments and territories, who must provide a 20% matching share and align activities with NFPA 472 core competencies or OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(q) standards. Evaluation criteria will likely emphasize the comprehensiveness of emergency response plans, the scope of training programs, and the potential impact on local hazardous materials incident management. Applications are due by June 26, 2025, with potential questions to be submitted by March 10, 2025, and the agency plans to announce awards by September 30, 2025.
The total funding opportunity is approximately $32 million, with $2 million reserved specifically for federally recognized tribal applicants. Grant awards typically range from $100,000 to $2 million, with a performance period of 36 months beginning October 1, 2025. Funded activities may include commodity flow studies, emergency response plan development, HAZMAT response training, training drills, and related administrative costs. Applicants must be registered on grants.gov and maintain active System for Award Management (SAM) registration. The program emphasizes projects that address transportation safety and equity, particularly in disadvantaged communities, under the Assistance Listing 20.703 "Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants" program.
