in its nature and objectives are: The
period of performance has been
extended to May 15, 2014; the scope of
the planned activity will enter Phase II,
which is intended to study the thermal
and acoustic signals generated by leaks
in submerged pipelines and then to
perform end-to-end testing in which a
leak is simulated and the technologies’
alarm systems are evaluated. The
objectives are to test the suitability of
such technologies for detecting leaks
and to understand some of the key
parameters (e.g., hole location) that
impact detection. Phase II will serve as
the mechanism to the evaluation of
these leak detection systems, facilitating
(1) pooling of resources to reduce
financial impact to any one company for
moving forward with product
validation, (2) providing the leak
detection vendor community with
drivers to increase innovation, (3)
consolidating various test cases into a
more uniform and standardized
approach, and (4) providing a
mechanism for capturing industry
knowledge of technology limitations.

I. Funding Opportunity Description
A. Overview of the Brookwood-Sago
Mine Safety Grant Program
Responding to several coal mine
disasters, Congress enacted the Mine
Improvement and New Emergency
Response Act of 2006 (MINER Act).
When Congress passed the MINER Act,
it expected that requirements for new
and advanced technology, e.g., fireresistant lifelines and increased
breathable air availability in
escapeways, would increase safety in
mines. The MINER Act also required
that every underground coal mine have
persons trained in emergency response.
Congress emphasized its commitment to
training for mine emergencies when it
strengthened the requirements for the
training of mine rescue teams. Recent
events demonstrate that training is the
key for proper and safe emergency
response and that all miners working in
underground mines should be trained in
emergency response.
Under Section 14 of the MINER Act,
the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) is
required to establish a competitive grant
program called the ‘‘Brookwood-Sago
Mine Safety Grants’’ (Brookwood-Sago
grants). This program provides funding
for education and training programs to
better identify, avoid, and prevent
unsafe working conditions in and
around mines. This program will use
grant funds to establish and implement
education and training programs or to
create training materials and programs.
The MINER Act requires the Secretary
to give priority to mine safety
demonstrations and pilot projects with
broad applicability. It also mandates
that the Secretary emphasize programs
and materials that target miners in
smaller mines, including training mine
operators and miners on new MSHA
standards, high-risk activities, and other
identified safety priorities.
B. Education and Training Program
Priorities
MSHA priorities for the FY 2014
funding of the annual Brookwood-Sago
grants will focus on training or training
materials for mine emergency
preparedness and mine emergency
prevention for all underground mines.
