Appalachian Development Highway System — CFDA 23.003 totals

Ninety-one awards carrying $529.4M on 12 recipients

USAspending.gov records $529.4M in obligations on assistance awards tagged 23.003. SpendingVault reprints that catalog total. Twelve recipients holding 91 awards is a tight identifier file: many rows per organization if the ratio were even, which the packet does not publish as an official statistic. Award count is a row count; recipient count is distinct identifiers, not a count of counties or contractors.

No fiscal year is attached. The listing title names an Appalachian development highway system. That title is not a remaining-to-complete budget in this extract. The packet does not split the $529.4M by corridor. This guide will not invent that split. If a state DOT fact sheet cites a different ADHS total, match the CFDA number before adding that sheet to $529.4M.

Ninety-one awards at this dollar scale is a mid-volume construction-adjacent file. The packet has no median award size. Do not divide $529.4M by 91 and publish the quotient as a typical corridor grant. Amount-sort on the hub is the check. Segment names and design status are not in the four-field extract.

Twelve recipients, a compact partner list

Twelve identifiers sit behind 91 awards. That concentration is compatible with state transportation agencies receiving continuations. The packet does not classify the 12. Repeat appearance is expected if the same identifier is funded across multiple segments or years. Repeat appearance is a fact about the extract, not a finding about construction quality.

A 12-name list is short enough to read in full on the program hub. Downstream construction contractors, if they exist, are not in this packet and are not inferred from the 91 assistance rows. Match rates and letting schedules are also outside the extract.

Twelve states matching twelve recipients in the count

The extract counts 12 states and 12 recipients. Those two twelves are the same number; they are not proof that each recipient maps to one state. The packet does not publish a cross-tab. It also does not name the 12 states or split the $529.4M among them. Highway corridors cross county lines; USAspending still assigns a state count from recorded location fields.

Twelve states is a coverage statistic for this listing, not a completion map of a designated system. Missing states are not listed, so their absence is not explained here. Use award-level place fields on the hub if a particular corridor state is the question. This rollup will not impute remaining unbuilt miles.

Highway-system obligations are not construction outlays

State letting reports, federal-aid highway formula dollars, and local match are different ledgers. CFDA 23.003’s $529.4M is USAspending assistance-award obligations on this listing. Mixing those sources into $529.4M would build a homemade “all Appalachian roads” figure the packet does not support.

Outlays are payments. Obligations are commitments. Highway construction can draw over many years. This extract does not report outlays or miles opened. Cite $529.4M as recorded commitments on 91 awards. Do not describe the sum as money already in a contractor’s estimate.

Not a combined Appalachian-development catalog

Other Appalachian or rural-development listings can sit near 23.003 on the all-programs index because their obligation totals occupy a similar band. Similar scale is not similar infrastructure. Do not add this $529.4M to a neighboring CFDA. Keep the Appalachian Development Highway System on its own catalog row.

Opening the 23.003 table

The Appalachian Development Highway System program page lists the 91 awards and 12 recipients behind $529.4M. Filter by location if a state is the question; the 12-state count will not name them. Agency pages are a different USAspending cut; this packet does not name the awarding agency, so the $529.4M stays on the CFDA card. Corridor mile-post logs remain a different file than this obligation rollup. Cite $529.4M only as the CFDA 23.003 obligation total on SpendingVault. Corridor mile-post logs are not this CFDA 23.003 rollup. Cite $529.4M only as the obligation total on SpendingVault.

Questions

How much is obligated under the Appalachian Development Highway System?

CFDA 23.003 shows $529.4M in USAspending.gov obligations in SpendingVault’s extract. The figure is a commitment total, not outlays and not a count of corridor miles completed. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 23.003 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.

How many ADHS awards and recipients are in the extract?

The file lists 91 awards and 12 recipients. Award count is a row count; recipient count is distinct identifiers. The packet does not classify those recipients as state DOTs or other entities. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 23.003 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.

Which states appear on CFDA 23.003?

The extract counts 12 states but does not name them or split the $529.4M by state. The matching count of 12 recipients is not a published one-state-per-recipient table. Use the 91-row table for award-level geography.

Is $529.4M the amount already spent on those corridors?

No. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. The $529.4M on CFDA 23.003 is the obligation total. Letting schedules and miles opened are not in this packet. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 23.003 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.
