The authority for PHMSAâ₏™s Pipeline Safety Research and Development Program comes from the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 (P. L. 107-355, December 17, 2002). Further, the authority to enter into cooperative agreements under the CAAP initiative is codified at 49 U.S.C. §60117(k), Authority for Cooperative Agreements.

Answers to all questions will be posted in Grants.gov as an amendment to the initial announcement.

Applicants will receive an automated receipt from Grants.gov of the date and time of application submission.
