Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JK322NF0009
The Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) Tribal Grants program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). The FY 2022 competition (Funding Opportunity Number 693JK322NF0009) is designed to support Tribal governments in strengthening their ability to prepare for and respond to hazardous materials incidents, especially those connected to transportation corridors and related activities. As a transportation-focused preparedness program, it fits within funding activity areas tied to transportation as well as workforce and training-related efforts, reflecting the practical need for skilled personnel, planning, and coordination when hazardous materials are involved.
Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized. PHMSA set clear submission rules for this opportunity: only one application is accepted per applicant, and applications were due by April 14, 2022 (with the warning that late applications may not be considered). This one-application limit typically means a Tribe needs to consolidate priorities into a single, well-organized proposal rather than sending separate requests for different departments or projects.
In terms of funding scale, the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $250,000 per grant, and PHMSA anticipated making about 15 awards under this solicitation. While the source summary does not list a minimum award amount, the ceiling and the expected number of awards suggest a competitive program with moderate-sized projects that can deliver tangible preparedness outcomes, such as improving emergency planning, developing or updating response procedures, conducting training and exercises for responders, and strengthening coordination among Tribal agencies and neighboring jurisdictions.
The program is associated with CFDA number 20.703, which is the federal assistance listing for Hazardous Materials Safety. Practically speaking, that CFDA association helps applicants and financial offices track the grant program, align internal compliance procedures, and understand the general regulatory environment surrounding the funding.
Overall, this grant opportunity is aimed at boosting Tribal readiness for hazardous materials emergencies by investing in planning, training, and preparedness activities that reduce risk and improve response capabilities. Key details to carry forward when describing the opportunity are the administering agency (PHMSA within DOT), who can apply (federally recognized Tribal governments), the funding cap ($250,000), the expected number of awards (15), the one-application-per-applicant rule, and the original closing date (April 14, 2022).Apply for 693JK322NF0009
