Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 16 MT 041 07 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) - Region 7 grant opportunity is a discretionary federal funding program administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It is offered under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 16 MT 041 07 01 and is associated with CFDA 97.041. The program is designed to strengthen dam safety nationwide by providing support to state dam safety programs, specifically helping them develop, improve, and sustain the core capabilities needed to oversee dams within their jurisdictions.
At its core, the NDSP focuses on helping states maintain effective, statutory dam safety programs so they can take practical steps to reduce the risks posed by dams. The opportunity emphasizes prevention and preparedness: supporting the kinds of planning, oversight, and program maintenance activities that allow states to identify dam safety concerns early, apply appropriate safety standards, and implement measures that protect communities, infrastructure, and the environment. While the notice does not list specific project types in the source data provided, the stated intent is clear that funds are aimed at enabling states to carry out their dam safety responsibilities and keep their programs functioning and current.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting that dam safety regulatory and oversight responsibilities are typically housed at the state level. This specific posting is labeled for Region 7, indicating a regional administration or allocation framework within the national program structure. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary, meaning awards are made through a competitive or merit-based federal process rather than by formula alone.
The original application closing date for this FY 2016 opportunity was June 17, 2016, and the opportunity record was created on May 4, 2016. FEMA anticipated making 51 awards under this opportunity. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0 in the source data, which usually indicates that the maximum award amount was not specified in the summary fields or was to be defined elsewhere in the full notice or related guidance rather than in the top-line metadata.Apply for DHS 16 MT 041 07 01
