Performance Partnership Grants — CFDA 66.605

$1.77 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for Performance Partnership Grants (CFDA 66.605). The listing carries 452 awards, 324 recipients, and a 52-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not Treasury outlays and not a count of permits, inspections, or environmental programs bundled into each grant. Three hundred twenty-four recipients against 452 awards is a near one-row-per-organization file, closer to state and tribal environmental agencies than to a small competitive roster.

Key figures

  • CFDA 66.605 shows $1.77 billion in USAspending obligations for Performance Partnership Grants.
  • The listing covers 452 awards and 324 recipients.
  • Awards are coded to 52 states in the USAspending geographic count.
  • Totals are obligations, not outlays or inspection counts.

Performance-partnership obligations at $1.77 billion

USAspending.gov records about $1.8 billion — $1,765,527,343 in obligations under CFDA 66.605. Four hundred fifty-two awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $3.91 million per award — consistent with multi-program state grants rather than a single-project cleanup contract. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical inspection budget or a per-permit cost.

The assistance-listing title is PERFORMANCE PARTNERSHIP GRANTS. CFDA 66.605 is the identifier. Other EPA categorical or Superfund listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.77 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined EPA-grant total this packet does not contain.

324 recipients across 52 states

Three hundred twenty-four recipients share 452 awards, or about 1.4 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.77 billion evenly would assign about $5.45 million per recipient. That pattern is close to one award per named agency, which fits a partnership grant with many state and tribal governments. The packet does not list the 324. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of inspectors or facilities.

Fifty-two states in the geographic count is a near-complete map plus extra jurisdictions. Performance-partnership dollars in this extract follow that coded geography. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Three hundred twenty-four recipients against 452 awards is near one row per environmental agency, which fits a partnership grant that many states and tribes claim. Fifty-two states in the geographic count is a near-complete map plus extra jurisdictions. The $1,765,527,343 obligation stock is not a permit ledger, not an inspection log, and not a Superfund rollup. Categorical EPA grants tagged to other CFDA numbers are not mixed in. Quote 452 as assistance rows and 324 as named organizations.

Award count is not a program-bundle count

Among EPA assistance listings, 66.605 is a mid-volume file: 452 rows against 324 recipients. Annual partnership rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique agencies. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of environmental programs funded.” Recipients (324) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (452) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report inspections, permits, or enforcement actions. Citing 452 as facilities would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.77 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against performance-partnership awards — are not in the packet. A state environmental agency can show a large obligation stock while a draw follows a later work plan. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 66.605 to size this Performance Partnership Grants listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Superfund, Clean Water SRF, or air-quality monitoring dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 66.605.

What the 66.605 tables omit

The Performance Partnership hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a permit ledger, not an inspection log, and not a pollution-inventory file. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,765,527,343. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 452 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 52 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 inspections.
