Energy Community Revitalization Program (ECRP) — CFDA 15.018

ECRP obligations at $1.86 billion

USAspending.gov records about $1.9 billion — $1,859,725,108.54 in obligations under CFDA 15.018. Ninety-five awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $19.58 million per award — large for a local project grant and consistent with multi-year revitalization awards rather than small community checks. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical mine-reclamation invoice or a per-job cost.

The assistance-listing title is ENERGY COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION PROGRAM (ECRP). CFDA 15.018 is the identifier. Other Interior or energy-transition listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.86 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined energy-community total this packet does not contain.

42 recipients across 27 states

Forty-two recipients share 95 awards, or about 2.3 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.86 billion evenly would assign about $44.28 million per recipient. That pattern is a small roster carrying large awards, which fits a targeted revitalization listing rather than a nationwide formula. The packet does not list the 42. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of mines, wells, or workers.

Twenty-seven states in the geographic count is a visibly incomplete map. ECRP dollars follow energy-community geography, not population. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Ninety-five awards and 42 recipients in 27 states is a targeted listing, not a nationwide energy-transition formula. The $44.28 million simple share per recipient is large because the roster is small, not because every energy community received that amount. Place-of-performance on 27 states is the geographic bound of this extract. Mine inventories, well-plugging logs, and IRA tax-credit claims sit outside CFDA 15.018. Quote $1,859,725,108.54 as the USAspending obligation total for ECRP on this packet.

Award count is not a site count

Among Interior assistance listings, 15.018 is a thin file: 95 rows against 42 recipients. Multi-year rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique governments. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of revitalization projects.” Recipients (42) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (95) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report acreage, well plugs, or employment. Citing 95 as mine sites would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.86 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against ECRP awards — are not in the packet. A tribal or state recipient can show a large obligation stock while a draw follows a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 15.018 to size this Energy Community Revitalization Program listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as an abandoned-mine, orphan-well, or IRA tax-credit dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 15.018.

What the 15.018 tables omit

The ECRP hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a mine inventory, not a well-plugging log, and not a labor-market file. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,859,725,108.54. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 95 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 27 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 revitalization work.

Where the 15.018 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 15.018 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other Interior listings. For 15.018 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 15.018’s 95 awards spread $1,859,725,108.54 across 42 recipients and 27 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 2.3 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Read the 95 award rows as the assistance book, not as a site inventory.

Questions

How much is obligated for the Energy Community Revitalization Program?

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. CFDA 15.018’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report cash drawn, remaining balances, or sites restored. The $1.86 billion on 95 awards is the obligation figure.
