Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 17 MT 041 04 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) - Region 4 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 17 MT 041 04 01) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through FEMA. It is part of the broader National Dam Safety Program, which is designed to strengthen and sustain state-level dam safety programs. The central purpose of the funding is to help states develop, improve, and maintain the legal, technical, and administrative capabilities needed to oversee dam safety and reduce the likelihood of dam failures and associated downstream impacts.
This opportunity is targeted specifically to eligible state governments operating statutory dam safety programs. The funding supports practical actions that enable states to take precautions that ensure dams are properly managed across their lifecycle, from routine monitoring and inspection through risk management and preparedness. In general terms, NDSP funding is meant to bolster a state program's capacity to carry out core responsibilities such as safety inspections, identification and tracking of deficient or high-risk structures, oversight of dam owners and operators, and the implementation of policies and procedures that promote consistent, defensible safety decisions.
Administratively, the grant is categorized as a discretionary award and uses the grant funding instrument type. It is associated with CFDA 97.041. FEMA listed an expected 51 awards under this announcement, indicating a broad distribution of funding across multiple jurisdictions rather than a small number of large awards. The opportunity was created on June 5, 2017, with an original application closing date of July 3, 2017, reflecting a relatively short application window typical of many annual federal program allocations.
The published award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly signals that the maximum award amount is not specified in the announcement summary and may instead be determined by formula, program guidance, available appropriations, or state-by-state allocation decisions. In practice, this kind of listing generally means applicants should consult the full program guidance, NOFO details, or FEMA program contacts for specifics on allowable costs, allocation methodology, reporting requirements, and any regional considerations tied to Region 4.
Overall, the FY 2017 NDSP Region 4 funding opportunity is focused on supporting the foundational work of state dam safety programs so they can effectively prevent failures, reduce risks to life and property, and maintain consistent oversight of dams within their jurisdiction, aligning state capabilities with national dam safety goals and standards.Apply for DHS 17 MT 041 04 01
