Port Infrastructure Development Program — CFDA 20.823

Port-capital dollars on 77 award records

Assistance listing 20.823 is titled PORT INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $946,475,394.29. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $946.5M as cranes already installed mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

77 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $946,475,394.29 by 77 produces a mean near $12.29 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical terminal project bid and not a cost per berth. Port infrastructure dollars often sit on a modest number of large capital actions, which is why 77 records can carry $946.5M.

70 recipients in 31 coastal and inland states

CFDA 20.823 lists 70 recipients and 31 states against 77 awards. Recipient count is not unique longshore workers. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. Awards (77) and recipients (70) sit close together. The 31-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count: not every state has a coded port project on this listing, and 31 is not a map of every harbor.

Because 77 awards are few relative to some transportation listings, a handful of large actions can move $946,475,394.29 without a matching jump in the 70-recipient count. The 20.823 hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus port-construction outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $946,475,394.29 figure for CFDA 20.823 can include multi-year construction commitments that will disburse later. A port-authority capital plan, a TEU throughput report, and a Treasury outlay series are different publications. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 20.823 program page. Do not stretch 77 awards or 31 states to cover every federal dollar that touches a port.

What the 20.823 tables omit

The Port Infrastructure Development Program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a vessel-call log, not a cargo-tonnage file, and not a dredging schedule. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $946,475,394.29. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 77 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 31 states is a coding field. A port authority coded to one cell can dominate geography while terminals sit in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 20.823

A complete citation is $946,475,394.29 in obligations for CFDA 20.823, covering 77 awards, 70 recipients, and 31 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault.

A worked reading of the 20.823 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $946,475,394.29, 77 awards, 70 recipients, and 31 states under CFDA 20.823. The mean near $12.29 million is a quotient from a modest award count, not a typical terminal contract. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large capital actions, dollars can jump while 31 states barely move. If modifications proliferate, 77 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $946.5M.

Nothing in the extract splits landside from waterside, or cargo from passenger terminals. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 20.823 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 77 awards and 31 states next to the dollars so the limited geography is visible.

Why does CFDA 20.823 show only 31 states?

Does the $946.5M total include port construction already paid?

Not as a cash-paid sum. USAspending reports obligations—commitments to pay—rather than outlays. The $946,475,394.29 figure can include amounts that will disburse later.
