Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act — CFDA 15.517

Coordination obligations at $491.3M

USAspending.gov records $491,262,807.41 in obligations under CFDA 15.517. Those 209 awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2.35 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical award and not a unit cost for habitat acres restored, species recovered, or mitigation projects completed. Other Interior fish-and-wildlife listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $491,262,807.41.

The assistance-listing title is FISH AND WILDLIFE COORDINATION ACT. CFDA 15.517 is the identifier. Read the $491.3M headline — $491,262,807.41 in the award file — as the obligation book tagged 15.517 only. USAspending.gov assistance awards are the source. This page does not convert obligations into outlays or into a count of habitat acres restored, species recovered, or mitigation projects completed.

209 awards on 99 named partners

99 recipients share 209 awards. That is about 2.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $491,262,807.41 evenly would assign about $4.96 million per recipient. That density is a packet quotient, not a typical grant size and not a cost per unit of habitat acres restored, species recovered, or mitigation projects completed. The packet does not list the 99 named organizations. Read $491,262,807.41 only against CFDA 15.517.

Nineteen jurisdictions is a narrower map than a nationwide wildlife grant. Coordination dollars follow funded water-resource and wildlife partners, not equal shares across every state. Place-of-performance amounts, if shown, live on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of habitat acres restored, species recovered, or mitigation projects completed. A simple average is about $2.35 million per award. Combining 15.517 with other Interior fish-and-wildlife listings tagged under different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total this packet does not contain.

Award rows are not a habitat census

Among assistance listings, 15.517 is a mid-row coordination file: a few hundred awards against fewer than a hundred named organizations. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of projects” and a worse proxy for habitat acres restored, species recovered, or mitigation projects completed. The recipient field (99 recipients) tells you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (209) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report habitat acres restored, species recovered, or mitigation projects completed. Citing 209 as that unit would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $491,262,807.41 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov. The 19-jurisdiction map is narrower than a nationwide wildlife formula.

Obligations versus wildlife outlays

The $491,262,807.41 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act 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 15.517 to size this listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a dashboard of habitat acres restored, species recovered, or mitigation projects completed. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 15.517. The $491.3M figure is the compact form of $491,262,807.41.

What the 15.517 tables omit

Geographic coding covers 19 jurisdictions. Nineteen jurisdictions is a narrower map than a nationwide wildlife grant. Coordination dollars follow funded water-resource and wildlife partners, not equal shares across every state. It is not a species-status dashboard, not a habitat-acre inventory, and not a Corps or Reclamation construction ledger. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $491,262,807.41.

Place-of-performance on 19 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid.

Where the 15.517 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 15.517 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other listings. For 15.517 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 15.517’s 209 awards spread $491,262,807.41 across 99 recipients and 19 jurisdictions. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 2.1 award records per recipient is the density story. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
