Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories — CFDA 15.875

Territories-development obligations at $3.46 billion

USAspending.gov records $3,464,652,420.20 in obligations under CFDA 15.875. One thousand two hundred twenty-four awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2.83 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical territorial-project budget.

The assistance-listing title is ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE TERRITORIES. CFDA 15.875 is the identifier. Other interior and territorial listings tagged under other CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $3.46 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined territories total this packet does not contain.

107 recipients in 17 coded jurisdictions

One hundred seven recipients share 1,224 awards, or about 11.4 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $3.46 billion evenly would assign about $32.4 million per recipient. That pattern matches a file in which territorial governments and designated agencies hold many award rows. The packet does not list the 107. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of islands, villages, or residents.

Seventeen states in the geographic count is a narrow coding. Territory-development dollars sit where named recipients are coded. The USAspending state field can include territories as stored; 17 does not mean 17 U.S. states received equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a project-completion count

Among assistance listings, 15.875 is a dense-per-recipient file: 1,224 rows against 107 recipients. Multi-year awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique projects. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of territorial development projects.” Recipients (107) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (1,224) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report construction status, employment, or resident counts. Citing 1,224 as finished projects would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus territorial outlays

The $3.46 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against territories-development awards — are not in the packet. A recipient can show a large obligation stock while work follows a multi-year calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 15.875 to size this territories listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a project-status dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 15.875.

What the 15.875 tables omit

The Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a construction log, not a census of territorial residents, and not a ranking of islands. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $3,464,652,420.20. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 1,224 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 17 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 the directed activity.

Where the 15.875 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 15.875 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other interior listings. For 15.875 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 15.875’s 1,224 awards spread $3,464,652,420.20 across 107 recipients and 17 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 11.4 award records per recipient and a 17-jurisdiction span are the structure story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

CFDA 15.875 is indexed at $3,464,652,420.20 in obligations, 1,224 awards, 107 recipients, and 17 states on USAspending.gov. Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories should be cited on that CFDA row alone. The $3.46 billion figure sizes the listing in the assistance file. It does not convert obligations into outlays, and it does not convert award count into a service, patient, student, or project census.

Readers who need the overlay tables should start on the program page for CFDA 15.875, then rank the listing on the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other listings; they do not replace the $3,464,652,420.20 obligation stock. Keep the four facts together when quoting Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories: dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov, award count as a stored-row count, recipient count as the organizational headcount (including 0 when the extract stores none), and the state figure as a geographic coding count.

Questions

How much is obligated for development of the territories?

USAspending.gov records $3,464,652,420.20 in obligations for CFDA 15.875. SpendingVault indexes 1,224 awards, 107 recipients, and 17 states. The figure is an obligation sum from assistance awards, not an outlay and not a project-completion count. CFDA 15.875’s $3.46 billion is the USAspending obligation stock.

How many awards does CFDA 15.875 carry?

The listing shows 1,224 awards against 107 recipients, or about 11.4 award records per recipient. A simple average is about $2.83 million per award. Award count is not a finished-project count. Recipient dollars are on the program page. CFDA 15.875’s $3.46 billion on 1,224 awards, with 107 recipients and 17 states in this aggregate, is the USAspending obligation stock.

Why does CFDA 15.875 show only 17 states?

Geographic coding covers 17 states in this extract. The listing title concerns development of the territories, so a narrow coded span is expected. The packet does not name the 17 jurisdictions or publish a dollar split. Treat 17 as a coverage flag, not as equal shares.

Is $3.46 billion already spent in the territories?

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. CFDA 15.875’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report cash drawn, remaining balances, or project completion. The $3.46 billion on 1,224 awards is the obligation figure.
