Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council Oil Spill Impact Program — CFDA 87.052

Oil-spill impact obligations at $594.2M

USAspending.gov records $594,212,444.46 in obligations under CFDA 87.052. Ninety-two awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $6.46 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical restoration invoice and not a cost per acre.

The assistance-listing title is GULF COAST ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION COUNCIL OIL SPILL IMPACT PROGRAM. CFDA 87.052 is the identifier. Other RESTORE, NRDA, or Interior Gulf listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $594.2M. Combining those codes would invent a combined Gulf-restoration total this packet does not contain.

5 recipients, 92 awards, and 5 states

Five recipients share 92 awards, or 18.4 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $594,212,444.46 evenly would assign about $118.84 million per recipient. That density is a Gulf-state-grantee fingerprint: a handful of named organizations carrying many project-level assistance rows. The packet does not list the 5. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of parishes or restoration contractors.

Five states in the geographic count matches the recipient headcount. Oil-spill impact dollars follow Gulf geography as coded, not a 50-state equal share. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Many rows per Gulf grantee is not an acreage census

Among restoration listings, 87.052 is a high-row-per-payee file: 92 awards against 5 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of restoration projects” and a worse proxy for acres restored. Recipients (5) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (92) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report acres, shoreline miles, or barrels. Citing 92 as projects completed would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus restoration outlays

The $594.2M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Oil Spill Impact Program awards — are not in the packet. A restoration 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.

Use CFDA 87.052 to size this Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council Oil Spill Impact Program listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as an NRDA, Deepwater Horizon settlement, or general USFWS dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 87.052.

What the 87.052 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a habitat inventory, not a parish directory, and not a spill-volume log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $594,212,444.46. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 92 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 5 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as a national restoration total. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to Gulf grantees.

Gulf Coast Oil Spill Impact’s 5-state map and 5-recipient headcount together describe a RESTORE-style concentration book, not a nationwide conservation formula. A researcher comparing 87.052 with NRDA or other RESTORE codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $594.2M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.

Where the 87.052 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 87.052 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other restoration-council listings. For 87.052 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 87.052’s 92 awards spread $594,212,444.46 across 5 recipients and 5 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. Eighteen-point-four award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

Acres, shoreline miles, and barrels live in other restoration series. Those rows are outside $594,212,444.46 unless they share CFDA 87.052. Quote 92 as assistance records, 5 as organizational payees, and 5 as the geographic count.
