Office for Coastal Management — CFDA 11.473

$1.66 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for Office for Coastal Management (CFDA 11.473). The listing carries 344 awards, 121 recipients, and a 36-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not Treasury outlays and not a count of miles of shoreline, wetlands, or coastal plans. One hundred twenty-one recipients against 36 states is a coastal-geography file, not a 50-state inland formula roster.

Key figures

  • CFDA 11.473 shows $1.66 billion in USAspending obligations for Office for Coastal Management.
  • The listing covers 344 awards and 121 recipients.
  • Awards are coded to 36 states in the USAspending geographic count.
  • Totals are obligations, not outlays or shoreline-mile counts.

Coastal-management obligations at $1.66 billion

USAspending.gov records about $1.7 billion — $1,658,231,012.22 in obligations under CFDA 11.473. Three hundred forty-four awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $4.82 million per award — consistent with state and regional coastal grants rather than a small local contract. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical shoreline-project bid or a per-mile cost.

The assistance-listing title is OFFICE FOR COASTAL MANAGEMENT. CFDA 11.473 is the identifier. Other NOAA coastal or CZMA listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.66 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined coastal-funding total this packet does not contain.

121 recipients across 36 states

One hundred twenty-one recipients share 344 awards, or about 2.8 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.66 billion evenly would assign about $13.70 million per recipient. That pattern is a coastal-state and partner roster with a few repeat rows per named organization. The packet does not list the 121. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of miles or wetlands.

Thirty-six states in the geographic count leave a visibly incomplete map. Coastal-management dollars follow shoreline geography, not population. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Three hundred forty-four awards on 121 recipients in 36 states is coastal geography: inland states drop off the coded map. About $4.82 million per award is state-and-regional grant scale. The $1,658,231,012.22 obligation stock is not a shoreline-mile ledger, not a wetland acreage file, and not a FEMA flood series. Other NOAA coastal listings stay outside CFDA 11.473. Quote 344 as assistance rows, 121 as named organizations, and 36 as the coded coastal-state count.

Award count is not a shoreline-project count

Among Commerce assistance listings, 11.473 is a mid-volume file: 344 rows against 121 recipients. Multi-year coastal rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique agencies. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of coastal projects.” Recipients (121) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (344) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report shoreline miles, acres restored, or plans adopted. Citing 344 as projects would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.66 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against coastal-management awards — are not in the packet. A state coastal program can show a large obligation stock while a draw follows a later work year. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 11.473 to size this Office for Coastal Management listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a FEMA flood, Corps beach-nourishment, or NOAA fisheries dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 11.473.

What the 11.473 tables omit

The coastal-management hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a shoreline inventory, not a wetland acreage file, and not a storm-damage model. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,658,231,012.22. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 344 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 36 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on coastal work.

Where the 11.473 table lives

CFDA 11.473’s 344 awards spread $1,658,231,012.22 across 121 recipients and 36 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 2.8 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. One hundred twenty-one recipients remain the organizational headcount on this extract.
