Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JK324NF0004
The FY 2024 Technical Assistance Grant is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under the Pipeline Safety Information Grants to Communities program, commonly referred to as the Technical Assistance Grants (TAG) program (Assistance Listing/CFDA 20.710). Its central purpose is to improve pipeline safety and related environmental protection by helping communities better understand, evaluate, and engage on pipeline safety issues. The program is built on the idea that pipeline safety is a shared responsibility and that informed local stakeholders can play a meaningful role in keeping pipeline operations safe and reliable, especially in areas where pipelines operate in or near neighborhoods, public lands, and other community resources.
The funding is specifically aimed at "technical assistance" connected to pipeline safety, and PHMSA defines technical assistance in a fairly concrete way: engineering or other scientific analysis of pipeline safety issues. In practice, this means the grant is meant to pay for the kind of expert review and evidence-based analysis that typical community budgets often cannot cover, such as hiring technical experts to interpret pipeline data, assess safety concerns, or evaluate issues related to risk, integrity, and potential impacts. Beyond paying for technical analysis, the TAG program is also intended to strengthen the depth and quality of public participation in pipeline safety. That emphasis signals that PHMSA is not only looking for technical reports, but also for work that helps communities participate more effectively in decisions and discussions involving pipeline operations, safety practices, and mitigation measures.
Eligibility is limited to local communities and groups of individuals, with clear exclusions. Eligible applicants include local units of government such as cities, towns, villages, counties, parishes, townships, and similar governmental subdivisions, as well as consortiums of these subdivisions. Federally recognized Native American tribal governments are also eligible. In addition, groups of individuals may apply, as long as they are not organized as for-profit entities. Several applicant types are explicitly not eligible: states, universities, and for-profit entities cannot receive TAG funding under this opportunity. The grant is also focused on pipeline facilities in local communities, except for certain facilities regulated under Public Law 93-153 (43 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), which are carved out of eligibility under this program.
From a funding perspective, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 693JK324NF0004, categorized under Transportation. PHMSA anticipated making about 15 awards under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $100,000 per grant. The opportunity record shows a creation date of February 21, 2024, and an original application closing date of April 10, 2024. Overall, the TAG program is designed to give communities and local stakeholders the resources to obtain credible technical expertise, improve the quality of community input, and support safer pipeline operations and associated environmental mitigation where pipelines affect local areas.Apply for 693JK324NF0004
