Abstract: On February 15, 2019, the President signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (FY 2019 Appropriations Act), which appropriated $292,730,000 to be awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation (Department) for the Port Infrastructure Development Program (Program). This appropriations act allows the Department to make discretionary grants to improve port facilities at or near coastal seaports. The Department may provide financial assistance, including grants, to port authorities or commissions or their subdivisions and agents for port and intermodal infrastructure-related projects. The Program Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) calls for applications to be submitted through Grants.gov 120 days after publication. Applications are submitted annually, if funds are appropriated, and will be received by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration, Office of Port Infrastructure Development. Each applicant is required to provide a project narrative to address the program requirements and assist in evaluating relevant information. The project narrative should include the information necessary for the Department to determine that the project satisfies project requirements and to assess the selection criteria. To the extent practicable, applicants should provide supporting data and documentation. Responding to the proposed new collection is required to obtain and/or retain benefits.
