Congressionally Recommended Awards — CFDA 16.753

Congressionally recommended obligations at $593.6M

USAspending.gov records $593,594,705.67 in obligations under CFDA 16.753. Seven hundred seventy-eight awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $763,232 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical local-project invoice and not a cost per earmark line.

The assistance-listing title is CONGRESSIONALLY RECOMMENDED AWARDS. CFDA 16.753 is the identifier. Other DOJ Byrne, COPS, or community-project listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $593.6M. Combining those codes would invent a combined justice-earmark total this packet does not contain.

665 recipients on 778 award rows

Six hundred sixty-five recipients share 778 awards, or about 1.17 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $593,594,705.67 evenly would assign about $892,624 per recipient. That density is a local-project fingerprint: hundreds of named organizations carrying one assistance row each. The packet does not list the 665. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of police departments or community groups.

Forty-nine states in the geographic count is a near-complete map. Recommended-award dollars follow project geography as coded, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award rows are not an earmark census

Among DOJ assistance listings, 16.753 is a high-headcount file: 778 awards against 665 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of congressional projects” and a worse proxy for outcomes. Recipients (665) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (778) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report bill lines, committee reports, or crime statistics. Citing 778 as earmarks enacted would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states. Seven hundred seventy-eight awards at about $763,232 each is local-project architecture, not a formula block grant.

Obligations versus recommended-award outlays

The $593.6M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Congressionally Recommended Awards — are not in the packet. A project file can show a large obligation stock while draws follow a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 16.753 to size this Congressionally Recommended Awards listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Byrne JAG, COPS, or CDBG dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 16.753.

What the 16.753 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a legislative history, not a department directory, and not a crime log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $593,594,705.67. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 778 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 49 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 paid to grantees.

Congressionally Recommended Awards’ 49-state map and 665-recipient headcount together describe a high-headcount local-project book, not a Byrne JAG formula. A researcher comparing 16.753 with COPS or CDBG codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $593.6M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.

Bill lines, committee reports, and crime statistics live in other legislative or DOJ series. Those rows are outside $593,594,705.67 unless they share CFDA 16.753. Quote 778 as assistance records, 665 as organizational payees, and 49 as the geographic count.
