RESTORE Act Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability — CFDA 21.015

RESTORE Act obligations at $706,907,113.59

USAspending.gov records $706,907,113.59 in obligations under CFDA 21.015. One hundred thirty-seven awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $5,159,906 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical restoration contract and not a cost per acre. Other Treasury or Gulf restoration listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $706,907,113.59.

The assistance-listing title is RESOURCES AND ECOSYSTEMS SUSTAINABILITY, TOURIST OPPORTUNITIES, AND REVIVED ECONOMIES OF THE GULF COAST STATES. CFDA 21.015 is the identifier. Combining 21.015 with NRDA or National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Gulf codes would invent a combined Deepwater Horizon total this packet does not contain. Read the $706,907,113.59 as the obligation book tagged 21.015 only.

33 recipients in 5 jurisdictions

Thirty-three recipients share 137 awards, or about 4.2 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $706,907,113.59 evenly would assign about $21.4 million per recipient. That density is a Gulf-state and consortium pattern: a small named-organization headcount carrying several assistance rows. The packet does not list the 33.

Five jurisdictions in the geographic count is the distinctive map. RESTORE dollars follow Gulf Coast states, not equal shares across the interior. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of parishes, wetlands, or tourism boards.

Award rows are not a restoration census

Among Treasury listings, 21.015 is a mid-row Gulf file: 137 awards against 33 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of RESTORE projects” and a worse proxy for acres restored. Recipients (33) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (137) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report marsh acres, visitor counts, or oil-spill residual volumes. Citing 137 as projects completed would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $706,907,113.59 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus RESTORE outlays

The $706,907,113.59 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against RESTORE Act awards — are not in the packet. A Gulf restoration file can show a large obligation stock while construction draws follow multi-year project closeout. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Use CFDA 21.015 to size this RESTORE listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a spill-recovery dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 21.015.

What the 21.015 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an NRDA claim file, not a wetland inventory, and not a tourism-receipts series. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $706,907,113.59. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 137 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 5 jurisdictions is a coding field on a Gulf extract. Read the program page before treating those 5 cells as a national restoration map. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to Gulf Coast grantees.

Where the 21.015 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 21.015 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other Treasury listings. For 21.015 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 21.015’s 137 awards spread $706,907,113.59 across 33 recipients and 5 jurisdictions. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 4.2 award records per recipient is the density story. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

A researcher comparing 21.015 with NRDA or other Gulf restoration codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The 33-recipient headcount on 5 jurisdictions is a Gulf Coast RESTORE map, not a 50-state formula. Quote $706,907,113.59 as the USAspending obligation stock for Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies of the Gulf Coast States only. About 4.2 award records per recipient is the density story on 137 awards. Wetland acres and visitor counts remain outside the packet. Outlays are a separate column.
