Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JK323NF0001
The FY 2023 Hazardous Materials State Inspection (HMSI) Grant Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is a discretionary federal grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). It is listed under Assistance Listing (CFDA) 20.707 and is focused on strengthening hazardous materials (HAZMAT) safety by supporting state-led inspection activities. The central purpose of the program is to fund state-based inspections of HAZMAT shippers, with the broader goal of increasing compliance with hazardous materials transportation requirements and reducing the risks associated with the movement of hazardous materials in commerce.
This opportunity is structured as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within activity areas tied to transportation and workforce-related functions (Funding Activity Categories include Transportation and Employment, Labor and Training). The emphasis is practical and operational: PHMSA is seeking to resource state inspection programs that can directly evaluate shippers and shipping practices, identify noncompliance, and encourage corrective actions that promote safer handling, packaging, documentation, and overall transport of hazardous materials. In effect, the grant supports the front-line compliance work that helps prevent incidents before they occur.
Only state governments are eligible to apply, and PHMSA will accept only one application per applicant, meaning each state must submit a single consolidated application rather than multiple submissions. The opportunity was posted with a creation date of March 20, 2023, and the original application deadline was June 19, 2023. The NOFO notes that applications received after the deadline may not be considered, underscoring that timely submission is important for eligibility and review.
Funding levels indicate a competitive but targeted program size. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $1,000,000 per award, and PHMSA anticipated making approximately 7 awards. This suggests PHMSA intended to fund a limited number of state inspection programs at meaningful funding levels, likely favoring proposals that demonstrate clear inspection plans, effective oversight strategies, and the capacity to increase compliance among HAZMAT shippers within the state’s jurisdiction.
For reference and tracking, the official funding opportunity title is "FY 2023 Hazardous Materials State Inspection (HMSI) Grant NOFO" and the funding opportunity number is 693JK323NF0001.
