Description: The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), through the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), hereby requests applications from eligible States that may result in the award of multiple grants under the State Damage Prevention Program. These grants are intended for States to establish or improve the overall quality and effectiveness of their programs that are designed to prevent damage to underground pipeline facilities.Section 2 of the PIPES Act added a new State Damage Prevention Program Grant program to the Federal Pipeline Safety Law as 49 USC §60134. The purpose of these grants is to establish comprehensive State programs designed to prevent damage to underground pipelines in States that do not have such programs and to improve damage prevention programs in States that do. The Act sets forth nine elements of an effective State damage prevention program. Please see PHMSA’s Damage Prevention Assistance Program (DPAP) guidance document for more information on the elements. This is only a guidance document; applicants can choose any order and plan they feel is most appropriate for consideration.***Notice*** The grants PHMSA awards under this announcement will not affect the grants PHMSA awards under the One-Call program. PHMSA awards under the One-Call program are posted in a separate announcement. Although this notice is limited to applications for the Damage Prevention Program, the relevant authorities in a State may apply for both a One-Call grant and a grant under this program as long as the deliverables under each program are different. PHMSA will carefully coordinate the application review process for the State Damage Prevention Grants to ensure that applicants are not awarded funds for the same deliverable under both grant programs.

Version History

Version Modification Description Updated Date
“Section 5.02 Proposal Content” of the solicitation is revised to read as follows:

(3)Designation in writing and signed by the Governor as the State authority eligible to receive the grant. An applicant (agency within the state) who applied for a CY2008 grant does not need a new letter signed for this application indicating the Governor authorizes the applicant (agency within the state) to receive a State Damage Prevention grant in CY2009. If there is a different applicant (agency within the state) applying, a new letter signed for this application indicating the Governor authorizes the applicant (agency within the state) to receive a State Damage Prevention grant in CY2009 will be required. This needs to be a separate letter submitted with the other application materials. There is no strict guidance on content of the letter other than 1) it should reference the solicitation (including calendar year 2009), 2) the applicant (agency within the state) the Governor is designating must match the applicant (agency within the state) that is submitting the application, and 3) the letter needs to be signed by the Governor.

** PHMSA will only accept one (1) application from each state. **

*** Note that this is the only change to this solicitation ***
