Zero Emission Technologies Grant Program — CFDA 66.959

Sixty awards hold $6.75 billion

USAspending.gov records $6,750,200,000 in obligations under CFDA 66.959. Sixty awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $112.5 million per award — far above typical competitive research grants and consistent with a concentrated greenhouse-gas listing that posts large assistance actions. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical municipal rebate.

The assistance-listing title is GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION FUND: SECTION 134(A)(1) - ZERO EMISSION TECHNOLOGIES GRANT PROGRAM. CFDA 66.959 is the identifier. Other Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund rows, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are outside this $6.75 billion. Keep 66.959 separate from neighboring 66-series listings when citing the obligation stock.

Nearly one award per recipient

Fifty-five recipients share 60 awards, or about 1.1 award records per recipient. Splitting $6.75 billion evenly would assign about $122.7 million per recipient. That ratio is closer to a handful of large grant actions than to a dense formula-grant file. The packet does not name the 55. Recipient count here is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores, not unique borrowers in a lending portfolio.

Forty-nine states in the geographic count show broad coding in the USAspending state field without covering every coded jurisdiction. Place-of-performance on 49 cells is not a statement that activity cannot occur elsewhere through those recipients. A national-scale grant coded to 49 jurisdictions can still transact through national organizations. Dollar amounts by place are on the program table.

A concentrated grant book, not a rebate tape

Among similarly sized dollar listings, 66.959 is sparse on award count: 60 rows against $6.75 billion. Compare that density with listings that post tens of thousands of small actions for a similar dollar book. Award count is not a count of zero-emission projects completed, chargers installed, or households served. Sixty is a record count.

The packet does not report equipment inventories, loan origination, or emissions scores. Citing 60 as chargers or vehicles would be a unit error. A single award can cover a portfolio of technologies; a single technology can sit under other CFDA numbers. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus clean-technology outlays

The $6.75 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against these grant awards — are not in the packet. A recipient can show a large obligation while disbursements follow a multi-year calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 66.959 to size this Zero Emission Technologies listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a greenhouse-gas inventory or a construction schedule. Emissions, kilowatts, and project-completion reports live in other series. This page reports the obligation book tagged 66.959.

What the 66.959 tables omit

The Zero Emission Technologies hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a loan-level tape, not a vehicle registry, and not an emissions scorecard. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $6,750,200,000. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 60 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 49 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as the only places dollars can flow. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on equipment.

Questions

How much is obligated under CFDA 66.959?

USAspending.gov records $6,750,200,000 in obligations for the Zero Emission Technologies Grant Program. SpendingVault indexes 60 awards, 55 recipients, and 49 states. The figure is an obligation sum from assistance awards, not an outlay and not an emissions total. CFDA 66.959’s $6.75 billion is the USAspending obligation stock.

Why are there only 60 awards on a $6.75 billion listing?

The listing shows 60 awards against 55 recipients. A simple average is about $112.5 million per award. That concentration matches a small set of large assistance actions rather than a high-volume rebate file. Award count is not a project or vehicle count.

How many recipients appear on CFDA 66.959?

The extract lists 55 recipients. Those are organizational recipients on assistance awards tagged 66.959. Geographic coding covers 49 states. The packet does not name the 55 or publish technology inventories. Recipient dollars are on the program page. USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault are the source for this obligation stock.

Is $6.75 billion already spent on zero-emission technology?

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. CFDA 66.959’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report cash drawn, remaining balances, or tons of emissions avoided. The $6.75 billion on 60 awards is the obligation figure.
