WIIN Small and Underserved Communities Emerging Contaminants Grants — CFDA 66.442

WIIN emerging-contaminant obligations at $1.64 billion

USAspending.gov records $1,639,405,575 in obligations under CFDA 66.442. One hundred thirty-eight awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $11.88 million per award — consistent with state-level emerging-contaminant grants rather than a single-system filter contract. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical treatment-plant bid or a per-connection cost.

The assistance-listing title is WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE NATION SMALL AND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES EMERGING CONTAMINANTS GRANT PROGRAM. CFDA 66.442 is the identifier. Other EPA drinking-water or SRF listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.64 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined water-infrastructure total this packet does not contain.

64 recipients across 50 states

Sixty-four recipients share 138 awards, or about 2.2 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.64 billion evenly would assign about $25.62 million per recipient. That pattern is a state-agency roster with a few claiming rows per named organization. The packet does not list the 64. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of water systems or households.

Fifty states in the geographic count is a complete state map at the coded grain. Emerging-contaminant dollars in this extract follow that geography. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

One hundred thirty-eight awards on 64 recipients in 50 states is a state-pass-through listing with a complete state map at the coded grain. About $11.88 million per award is larger than a single-system filter contract. The $1,639,405,575 obligation stock is not a PFAS sample file, not a water-system inventory, and not a Drinking Water SRF rollup. Those listings use other CFDA numbers. Quote 138 as assistance rows and 64 as named organizations. Small and underserved communities in the title describe the listing, not a household count in the packet.

Award count is not a water-system count

Among EPA assistance listings, 66.442 is a thin file: 138 rows against 64 recipients. Multi-year grant rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique agencies. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of systems treated.” Recipients (64) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (138) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report PFAS samples, wells, or population served. Citing 138 as water systems would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.64 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against WIIN emerging-contaminant awards — are not in the packet. A state drinking-water agency can show a large obligation stock while a subaward draw follows a later construction season. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 66.442 to size this WIIN small and underserved emerging-contaminants listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Drinking Water SRF, Clean Water SRF, or Superfund dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 66.442.

What the 66.442 tables omit

The WIIN emerging-contaminants hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a contaminant sample file, not a system inventory, and not a treatment-technology survey. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,639,405,575. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 138 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 50 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 spent on filters.

Where the 66.442 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 66.442 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other EPA listings. For 66.442 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 66.442’s 138 awards spread $1,639,405,575 across 64 recipients and 50 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 2.2 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
