FY 2024 Hazardous Materials State Inspection (HMSI) Grant

This funding opportunity falls under Assistance Listing 20.707. PHMSA, through this NOFO, is requesting applications from States for Hazardous Materials State Inspection (HMSI) funding to carry out State-based inspections of HAZMAT shippers to increase compliance and ensure safe transport of hazardous materials. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) protects people and the environment by advancing the safe transportation of energy and other hazardous materials (HAZMAT) that are essential to our daily lives. To do this, PHMSA establishes national policy, sets and enforces standards, educates, and conducts research to prevent incidents. PHMSA also prepares the public and first responders to reduce consequences if an incident does occur. To accomplish this, PHMSA awards financial assistance to states, territories, tribes, and nonprofit organizations to ensure industry compliance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR).
