Forestry on Indian Lands — CFDA 15.035

Forestry-on-Indian-lands obligations at $858.4 million

USAspending.gov records $858,354,013.76 in obligations under CFDA 15.035. Five hundred eighty-seven awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $1,462,273 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical thinning contract and not a cost per acre. Other Interior forestry or wildland-fire listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $858,354,013.76.

The assistance-listing title is FORESTRY ON INDIAN LANDS. CFDA 15.035 is the identifier. Combining 15.035 with broader Bureau of Indian Affairs natural-resource codes would invent a combined forestry total this packet does not contain. Read the $858,354,013.76 as the obligation book tagged 15.035 only.

190 recipients across 29 jurisdictions

One hundred ninety recipients share 587 awards, or about 3.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $858,354,013.76 evenly would assign about $4.52 million per recipient. That density is a cooperative-agreement pattern: many named tribal governments and forestry cooperators carrying a handful of assistance rows each. The packet does not list the 190.

Twenty-nine jurisdictions in the geographic count is a narrower map than a 50-state formula grant. Forestry dollars on Indian lands follow reservation geography and compacting arrangements, not equal shares across all states. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of tribal forestry crews.

Award rows are not an acreage census

Among Interior listings, 15.035 is a moderate-row file: 587 awards against 190 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of forestry projects” and a worse proxy for acres treated. Recipients (190) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (587) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report timber volume, fuels-reduction acres, or fire starts. Citing 587 as harvests would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $858,354,013.76 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus forestry outlays

The $858,354,013.76 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Forestry on Indian Lands awards — are not in the packet. A cooperative file can show a large obligation stock while reimbursements follow seasonal fieldwork on a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 15.035 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a reservation forest inventory, not a wildfire log, and not a tribal enrollment file. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $858,354,013.76. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 587 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 29 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of Indian-lands forestry. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to tribal forestry programs.

Where the 15.035 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 15.035 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other Interior listings. For 15.035 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 15.035’s 587 awards spread $858,354,013.76 across 190 recipients and 29 jurisdictions. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 3.1 award records per recipient is the density story. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

A researcher comparing 15.035 with other Interior forestry or wildland-fire codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The 190-recipient headcount on 29 jurisdictions is a tribal-and-cooperator map, not a nationwide timber-sale ledger. Quote $858,354,013.76 as the USAspending obligation stock for Forestry on Indian Lands only. About 3.1 award records per recipient is the density story on 587 awards. Acres treated, board-feet, and fire starts remain outside the packet. Outlays are a separate column.
