Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JK31842A01
The Pipeline Safety Information Grants to Communities: Technical Assistance Grants (TAG) program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) to help communities better understand and address pipeline safety issues where they live. The basic idea behind TAG is that pipeline safety is not just an industry or regulator responsibility; it also depends on informed local participation. Through this program, PHMSA funds technical assistance that helps local governments and community groups engage more effectively in decisions about the safe development, operation, and oversight of pipelines in and around their communities.
TAG funding is specifically aimed at "technical assistance," meaning engineering or other scientific analysis tied to pipeline safety concerns. Rather than being a general public outreach grant, the emphasis is on giving communities access to credible technical expertise so they can evaluate pipeline risks, review safety information, interpret technical documents, and participate in formal processes with a stronger factual foundation. A key goal is to increase both the depth and quality of public participation in pipeline safety, especially when communities are involved in official proceedings or local planning decisions that intersect with pipeline infrastructure.
Historically, the program has supported a wide range of practical, safety-focused activities. Examples described in the opportunity include strengthening local pipeline emergency response capabilities, improving safe digging and damage prevention programs, creating or enhancing pipeline safety information resources for the public, implementing land use practices that reduce risk around pipeline corridors, and running community awareness campaigns related to pipelines and safety. TAG funds have also been used to support public participation in official proceedings involving pipeline safety, helping communities contribute meaningfully when technical details would otherwise be a barrier. PHMSA notes that since the program began in 2009, it has awarded almost $8 million across 178 individual technical assistance projects, and it provides access to summaries and final reports from completed projects through its TAG portal at http://primis.phmsa.dot.gov/tag.
Eligibility is limited and is designed to keep the program focused on local, non-commercial interests. Applicants must be local communities or groups of individuals concerned with the safety of pipeline facilities in their communities, with an exclusion for facilities regulated under Public Law 93-153 (43 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.). Eligible governmental applicants include cities, towns, villages, counties, parishes, townships, and similar subdivisions, including consortiums of these entities. Groups of individuals may also apply as long as they are not for-profit entities. The notice makes clear that states, universities, and for-profit organizations are not eligible for TAG funding, reinforcing that the program is meant to directly support community-level capacity rather than broader institutional or commercial work.
