Environmental Protection Agency federal obligations

$69.1 billion on 16,045 EPA awards

The precise obligation total is $69,137,321,923.67. Divided by 16,045 awards, the implied mean is about $4.31 million per award. Capitalization grants and large cleanup or research vehicles pull the mean up; smaller discretionary grants pull it down. This packet does not split the 16,045 rows by appropriation, so revolving-fund versus Superfund shares are not stated here.

Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year. Multi-year capitalization grants can remain open, so $69,137,321,923.67 is not a single cleanup season’s cash. USAspending.gov is the source.

That mix is the research takeaway from the two packet facts together. 16,045 awards at a mean near $4.31 million fit capitalization grants and cleanup or research vehicles. A later extract can change both the dollar total and the award count as multi-year capitalization grants remain open inside FY 2026.

CGAC 068 on EPA records

SpendingVault keys EPA to /agencies/068/. CGAC 068 is the awarding-agency identifier. Regional offices may appear on child records while still summing into $69,137,321,923.67. The 16,045 figure counts award records, not contaminated sites, permits, or inspections.

Obligations versus environmental outcomes

USAspending stores award commitments. It does not store parts-per-billion measurements. The $69,137,321,923.67 figure is an obligation rollup through FY 2026. Enforcement penalties collected, emissions inventories, and cleanup-acre metrics are not in the packet and are not cited.

Researchers sometimes treat an agency obligation total as cash already paid. For Environmental Protection Agency, that reading is wrong. Emissions inventories, Superfund site counts, enforcement penalties, or revolving-fund versus cleanup splits belong in other publications. The USAspending figure on this hub remains an obligation sum through FY 2026. Multi-year capitalization grants remain open inside FY 2026.

State geography for EPA awards

Place-of-performance for revolving-fund and state grants often follows the grantee’s state. A national research contract can still concentrate a slice of $69,137,321,923.67 in one jurisdiction. The state table is a coding view of the 16,045 awards through FY 2026, not a pollution ranking.

Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a complete economic-impact model. On this agency, state revolving-fund grants often follow the grantee state; a national research contract can still concentrate a slice in one cell. Read the state table after the agency hub, not instead of it. Use CGAC 068 for the award rollup, not as a pollution ranking.

EPA on the all-agencies list

Compare $69,137,321,923.67 and 16,045 awards only with other obligation totals from this extract. The hub does not advise regulated parties and does not score rulemakings.

The all-agencies list is useful only inside this extract’s obligation definition and FY 2026 cap. 16,045 awards at a mean near $4.31 million fit capitalization grants and cleanup or research vehicles. Ranking on dollars alone hides that mix. Use CGAC 068 for the award rollup, not as a pollution ranking.

EPA’s award file without outcome metrics

USAspending stores commitments. The packet facts are $69,137,321,923.67, 16,045 awards, CGAC 068, and FY 2026. Parts-per-billion measurements are not in the file. This page does not invent them. A later USAspending extract can revise both the dollar total and the 16,045 count as new actions and modifications post against CGAC 068. Until that refresh, the documented book is 69137321923.67 in obligations. That figure is not a performance score, not an enacted one-year appropriation, and not a recommendation to apply for funds. It is the award-file rollup this packet carries through FY 2026.

Program splits are omitted because they are not packet facts. The mean near $4.31 million is blended. The state table is place-of-performance coding on the 16,045 records. CGAC 068 is the awarding-agency identifier on every row in this rollup, and the overlay path stays /agencies/068/. The award population is 16,045 records. Those rows still sum to the same obligation total through fiscal year 2026. Readers who need place-of-performance should open the state table from that hub; readers who need peer context should open the all-agencies list. Neither view converts obligations into outlays.
