Sport Fish Restoration — CFDA 15.605

Sport-fish obligations at $1.83 billion

USAspending.gov records $1,827,574,583.62 in obligations under CFDA 15.605. One thousand nine hundred ninety-eight awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $915,000 per award — consistent with project-level grants stacked at the same state agencies rather than a single annual apportionment row. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical hatchery budget or a per-angler amount.

The assistance-listing title is SPORT FISH RESTORATION. CFDA 15.605 is the identifier. Other Interior wildlife or boating listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.83 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined fish-and-wildlife total this packet does not contain.

66 recipients across 55 states

Sixty-six recipients share 1,998 awards, or about 30.3 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.83 billion evenly would assign about $27.69 million per recipient. That density is the story: a small fish-and-wildlife roster carrying nearly two thousand assistance rows. The packet does not list the 66. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of hatcheries or ramps.

Fifty-five states in the geographic count is a near-complete map plus territories. Sport-fish dollars in this extract follow that coded geography. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Thirty award records per recipient is unusually dense even among Interior listings. Two thousand rows on 66 fish-and-wildlife agencies means project-year stacking, not 1,998 separate hatcheries. Fifty-five states in the geographic count is a near-national map plus territories. The $1,827,574,583.62 obligation stock still does not report fish stocked, boat ramps, or angler days. Wildlife Restoration (a sibling listing) is not mixed into this total. Quote 1,998 as assistance rows and 66 as named organizations.

Award count is not a project-site count

Among Interior assistance listings, 15.605 is a high-volume file: 1,998 rows against 66 recipients. Annual project rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique agencies. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of restoration projects.” Recipients (66) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (1,998) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report fish stocked, acres restored, or boat-ramp counts. Citing 1,998 as hatcheries would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.83 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against sport-fish awards — are not in the packet. A state fish-and-wildlife agency can show a large obligation stock while a draw follows a later project year. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 15.605 to size this Sport Fish Restoration listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Wildlife Restoration, Dingell-Johnson tax, or commercial-fisheries dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 15.605.

What the 15.605 tables omit

The Sport Fish Restoration hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a hatchery inventory, not an angler-license file, and not a water-quality survey. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,827,574,583.62. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 1,998 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 55 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 stocking.

Where the 15.605 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 15.605 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other Interior listings. For 15.605 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 15.605’s 1,998 awards spread $1,827,574,583.62 across 66 recipients and 55 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 30.3 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
