Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief — CFDA 15.514

Drought-relief obligations at $455.8M

USAspending.gov records $455,797,497.68 in obligations under CFDA 15.514. Those 186 awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2.45 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical award and not a unit cost for acre-feet delivered, wells drilled, or drought emergency days declared. WaterSMART or other Bureau of Reclamation listings under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $455,797,497.68.

The assistance-listing title is RECLAMATION STATES EMERGENCY DROUGHT RELIEF. CFDA 15.514 is the identifier. Read the $455.8M headline — $455,797,497.68 in the award file — as the obligation book tagged 15.514 only. USAspending.gov assistance awards are the source. This page does not convert obligations into outlays or into a count of acre-feet delivered, wells drilled, or drought emergency days declared.

186 awards on 139 water users

139 recipients share 186 awards. That is about 1.3 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $455,797,497.68 evenly would assign about $3.28 million per recipient. That density is a packet quotient, not a typical grant size and not a cost per unit of acre-feet delivered, wells drilled, or drought emergency days declared. The packet does not list the 139 named organizations. Read $455,797,497.68 only against CFDA 15.514.

Eighteen jurisdictions is a Reclamation-state map. Drought-relief dollars follow funded water users in those coded places, not a nationwide drought formula. Place-of-performance amounts, if shown, live on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of acre-feet delivered, wells drilled, or drought emergency days declared. A simple average is about $2.45 million per award. Combining 15.514 with WaterSMART or other Bureau of Reclamation listings under different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total this packet does not contain.

Award rows are not a drought-day census

Among assistance listings, 15.514 is a western-district emergency file: 186 awards against 139 named recipients in 18 jurisdictions. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of projects” and a worse proxy for acre-feet delivered, wells drilled, or drought emergency days declared. The recipient field (139 recipients) tells you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (186) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report acre-feet delivered, wells drilled, or drought emergency days declared. Citing 186 as that unit would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $455,797,497.68 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov. One hundred thirty-nine recipients in 18 jurisdictions is a Reclamation-state drought fingerprint.

Obligations versus drought-relief outlays

The $455,797,497.68 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief awards — are not in the packet. A file can show a large obligation stock while draws, reimbursements, or closeouts follow a different schedule. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. Treasury outlays are a separate series.

Use CFDA 15.514 to size this listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a dashboard of acre-feet delivered, wells drilled, or drought emergency days declared. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 15.514. The $455.8M figure is the compact form of $455,797,497.68.

What the 15.514 tables omit

Geographic coding covers 18 jurisdictions. Eighteen jurisdictions is a Reclamation-state map. Drought-relief dollars follow funded water users in those coded places, not a nationwide drought formula. It is not a drought-monitor map, not an acre-foot accounting sheet, and not a Stafford Act disaster total. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $455,797,497.68.

Place-of-performance on 18 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid.
