Fisheries Disaster Relief — CFDA 11.477 obligation totals

A $564.8M disaster listing on 22 award rows

USAspending.gov records $564.8M in obligations on assistance awards tagged 11.477. That is a commitment total. Disaster-relief headlines in other documents may mix appropriated emergency funds, state match, or industry-loss estimates. None of those substitutes for this CFDA rollup. SpendingVault indexes the 22-award extract so the fisheries-disaster line can be compared with other assistance listings on the same obligation definition.

No fiscal year is attached to the $564.8M in the packet. The title names disaster relief; the extract does not name the declared events, species, or seasons. This guide therefore does not attach the dollars to a particular hurricane, fishery closure, or year-class failure. The facts on hand are the obligation sum, 22 awards, 7 recipients, and 8 states.

Because 22 rows carry more than half a billion dollars in recorded commitments, individual award amounts on the hub are likely large relative to formula grant programs that mint thousands of lines. The packet still has no per-award figures, so this page does not publish an average. Amount-sort on the program table is the check. Do not divide $564.8M by 22 and treat the quotient as a typical relief check.

Seven recipients hold the 11.477 file

Seven recipient identifiers sit behind 22 awards. That is a concentrated assistance file: a handful of organizations, not a census of individual fishers. Recipient count is distinct identifiers, which may be states, commissions, or other eligible entities. The packet does not classify them. Award rows can include continuations or amendments stacked on the same identifier.

A 7-recipient list is short enough to read in full on the program hub. Repeat names among the 22 awards would show as the same identifier on more than one row. Repeat appearance is a fact about the extract, not a finding about how relief reached captains or processors. Downstream subawards, if they exist, are not in this packet and are not inferred here.

Eight states, not a coastwide map

The extract counts 8 states for CFDA 11.477. Fisheries disasters are geographically specific; eight jurisdictions is a narrow footprint compared with nationwide formula listings. The packet does not name the eight or split the $564.8M among them. A missing coast is not explained here because missing states are not listed.

USAspending state counts follow recorded location fields. Place of performance for a state fisheries agency can be the state capital even when the affected harbors sit elsewhere. This packet does not say which location field fed the count of 8. Use award-level geography on the hub rather than this rollup if a particular port is the question.

Relief obligations are not loss estimates

Industry loss figures, vessel-damage surveys, and dock-price collapses are different datasets. The $564.8M on CFDA 11.477 is federal assistance-award obligations. Adding a loss estimate to this total, or treating the total as compensation equal to losses, would mix ledgers. SpendingVault keeps the USAspending commitment definition.

Outlays — payments actually made — are a separate USAspending concept. Disaster awards can obligate in one period and pay on another schedule. This extract does not report outlays. Cite $564.8M as recorded commitments on 22 awards, then open the table for recipient names. Do not describe the sum as money already in harvesters’ accounts.

Where to open the 11.477 rows

The Fisheries Disaster Relief program page holds the 22 award lines and 7 recipient identifiers behind $564.8M. The all-programs index places this CFDA among other assistance listings by dollar scale, not by disaster type. Agency pages are a different USAspending cut; this packet does not name the awarding agency, so the $564.8M is not copied onto a department card here.

What not to add to the 11.477 total

State-only disaster accounts, processor loans, and crop-style insurance products for aquaculture — if a reader has seen them elsewhere — are not this CFDA number. Folding them into $564.8M would create a homemade “all fisheries relief” figure the packet does not support. Keep CFDA 11.477 on its own row. When the question is which of the 7 recipients holds the largest recorded commitment, sort the 22-award table by amount instead of averaging the rollup.

Questions

How much is obligated under Fisheries Disaster Relief?

CFDA 11.477 shows $564.8M in USAspending.gov obligations in SpendingVault’s extract. The figure is a sum of assistance-award commitments, not Treasury outlays and not an industry-loss estimate for a named fishery disaster. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 11.477 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.

How many fisheries disaster awards are in the file?

The extract lists 22 awards and 7 recipients. Award count is a row count; recipient count is distinct identifiers. The packet does not say whether those recipients are states, commissions, or other entities, and it does not list subawards to individual fishers.

Which states received CFDA 11.477 awards?

The file counts 8 states but does not name them or split the $564.8M by state. Location follows USAspending’s recorded fields, which this packet does not specify. Use the 22-row program table for geography on individual awards.

Is $564.8M the amount paid to fishing businesses?

No. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. The $564.8M on CFDA 11.477 is the obligation total. Payment timing, subawards, and vessel-level checks are not in this packet. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 11.477 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.
