About this program
The Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service awards State Bulk Fuel Revolving Fund Grants (CFDA 10.857) to state entities for revolving funds that enable cost-effective fuel purchases in communities where surface transportation is unavailable, with the most recent award disbursed in June 2015.
Activity in this program is minimal and has effectively halted. Three Project Grants totaling $3.5 million were awarded over a nine-year span (2006, 2010, 2015), averaging roughly one award per three years. No grant awards have been disbursed in the past 11 years. The source contains no information regarding currently open grant opportunities or recent solicitations.
The program funds fuel revolving funds—financial mechanisms enabling state entities to purchase bulk fuel more cost-effectively for communities where terrain or geography prevents surface delivery. All three documented awards are Project Grants structured as direct federal appropriations to eligible states. The Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service is the sole funding agency, obligating $3.5 million across all awards. Recent award magnitudes ranged from $500 thousand to $2 million per grant.
Eligibility is restricted to state entities and entities of U.S. territories, possessions, or other areas authorized to receive Rural Utilities Service programs under the Rural Electrification Act of 1936, provided they existed as of November 9, 2000. Grant approvals generally require 60 to 180 days from application closing date. The program accepts both competitive and noncompetitive (unsolicited) applications from state governments; unsolicited applications are considered case-by-case per regulations at 7 CFR Part 1709. State entities interested in applying should contact the Assistant Administrator, Electric Programs, at the Rural Utilities Service.
Nonfederal entities expending $750 thousand or more in federal awards annually must undergo a single or program-specific audit under 2 CFR Part 200.
