Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 16 MT 041 08 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) - Region 8 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 16 MT 041 08 01) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through FEMA to support and strengthen state dam safety programs. It is tied to CFDA 97.041 and is aimed specifically at helping state governments that have statutory responsibility for dam safety build, operate, and maintain effective dam safety programs. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to reinforce the systems states use to reduce the risk of dam failures, protect downstream communities, and ensure that dams are managed in a way that prioritizes public safety.
At its core, the program recognizes that dam safety is not a one-time effort but an ongoing public safety function that requires sustained capability. Through NDSP assistance, states can improve the development and maintenance of their dam safety programs, which can include strengthening administrative and technical capacity, supporting inspections and assessments, improving procedures and documentation, and enhancing coordination with dam owners and local emergency management partners. The stated purpose is to help states take precautions that ensure the safety of dams, reflecting an emphasis on prevention, risk reduction, and readiness rather than reaction after an incident occurs.
Eligibility under this opportunity is limited to state governments, consistent with the NDSPs focus on supporting official state-level dam safety programs. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary, meaning awards are made through a competitive or program-directed federal process rather than as an automatic formula distribution. The opportunity was created on May 4, 2016, with an original closing date of June 17, 2016. FEMA anticipated making 51 awards, indicating a broad reach across participating jurisdictions. The posted award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically signals that the maximum award amount is not specified in the summary field and may instead be defined by allocations, program guidance, or available appropriations for eligible states within the applicable region and program structure.
Region 8 refers to FEMAs regional structure, which generally serves a multi-state area in the central and mountain west. While the summary does not list specific project types or match requirements, the overall intent is clear: provide federal support so states can sustain effective dam safety oversight, identify and address safety concerns early, and maintain the institutional capacity needed to manage dam-related risk over time.Apply for DHS 16 MT 041 08 01
