Congressionally Mandated Projects — CFDA 66.202

Congressionally mandated obligations at $1.23 billion

USAspending.gov records $1,225,343,431 in obligations under CFDA 66.202. Five hundred ninety awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2,076,853 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical earmark size published in committee tables and not a cost per facility. The $1,225,343,431 figure is an obligation sum from the assistance extract.

The assistance-listing title is CONGRESSIONALLY MANDATED PROJECTS. CFDA 66.202 is the identifier. Other environmental construction or state-revolving-fund listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.23 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined EPA total this packet does not contain.

535 recipients on 590 awards

Five hundred thirty-five recipients share 590 awards, or about 1.10 award records per recipient. Splitting $1,225,343,431 evenly would assign about $2.29 million per recipient. That near one-to-one density is a designated-project pattern: many named organizations, usually one assistance row each. The packet does not list the 535. Recipient count is not a census of water systems, towns, or nonprofits that sought funding.

Forty-six jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus additional coded entities in the USAspending state field. Mandated-project dollars still follow designated recipients, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

One row per designated project

Among environmental listings, 66.202 is a designated-project file: 590 rows, 535 recipients, about 1.10 awards per organization. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of earmarks in statute” if one recipient holds more than one row, and a worse proxy for construction milestones. Recipients (535) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (590) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report gallons treated, miles of pipe, or projects completed. Citing 590 as finished facilities would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $1,225,343,431 stock is the obligation book only.

Obligations versus mandated-project outlays

The $1,225,343,431 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Congressionally Mandated Projects awards — are not in the packet. A project file can show a large obligation stock while construction 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.

What the 66.202 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a statute digest, not a water-system directory, and not an earmark scorecard. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,225,343,431. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 590 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 46 jurisdictions 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 designated entities. A researcher comparing 66.202 with other EPA construction codes should keep CFDA numbers separate.
