Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JK323NF0005
The FY 2023 One-Call Grant (Funding Opportunity Number 693JK323NF0005) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). The program is designed to support state-level efforts to prevent damage to underground pipelines caused by excavation activities, which is a major source of pipeline incidents, service disruptions, safety hazards, and costly repairs. In practical terms, the grant helps states strengthen and modernize the policies, training systems, and public-facing education needed to ensure excavators and the public use one-call/811 systems correctly and that underground utilities are located and marked before digging.
Funding is intended for a range of damage-prevention activities that states typically oversee or coordinate. This includes developing and delivering training for excavators, contractors, and other stakeholders; supporting updates to state underground damage prevention laws or rules (often called "one-call" laws); improving compliance and enforcement-related activities tied to those laws; and expanding public education campaigns that encourage safe digging behaviors and consistent use of 811 services. The core idea is that better training, clearer rules, stronger compliance efforts, and broader public awareness should translate into fewer excavation-related pipeline damages over time.
A key feature of the program is its focus on measuring performance using excavation damage data. PHMSA collects excavation damage performance information annually from pipeline operators, and the program is structured with the expectation that states will use grant-funded activities to address the drivers of damage and improve trends. While the opportunity summary does not list specific metrics or required interventions in the provided text, the emphasis on annual damage data indicates that PHMSA expects grant activities to be informed by evidence and ultimately reflected in reduced damage rates, improved reporting, and more effective statewide prevention programs.
Eligible applicants are primarily state governments, with additional eligibility information referenced in the opportunity materials (described as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)"). The award ceiling listed for this funding opportunity is $60,000 per award, and PHMSA anticipated making about 27 awards. The funding activity category is Transportation, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 20.721, which helps applicants and administrators track the program in federal assistance systems.
The application timeline provided shows the opportunity was created on March 20, 2023, with an original closing date of May 4, 2023. Applicants were instructed not to physically mail applications, indicating submissions were expected through an electronic platform or process specified in the full announcement. Another important constraint is that PHMSA would accept only one application from each applicant, so states or other eligible entities needed to consolidate their proposed activities into a single submission. Applications received after the deadline could be rejected or not considered, underscoring that timely electronic submission was a hard requirement.
Overall, the FY 2023 One-Call Grant is a relatively small but targeted federal funding source aimed at helping states reduce excavation-related pipeline damage by strengthening the full prevention ecosystem: laws and rules, training and best practices, compliance approaches, and public outreach. The program is grounded in the idea that sustained improvements in these areas, monitored against annual damage data reported by operators, can drive measurable reductions in underground pipeline damages and improve public safety.Apply for 693JK323NF0005
