International Trade Commission federal obligations

Trade cases versus a $66.0 million award book

Title VII injury investigations, Section 337 complaints, and Harmonized Tariff Schedule maintenance are the USITC’s public docket. None of those case counts are in this packet. $66,005,408.93 is what the Commission obligated on federal awards through FY2026—research support, IT, facilities, translation, and other instruments tagged to CGAC 034. A surge in antidumping petitions does not automatically move this total. A data-systems contract can move it in a quiet filing year.

Two hundred forty-six awards against $66.0 million implies about $268,315 per award. That mid mean on a modest count fits a small independent commission buying professional and administrative support rather than running a grant program. The packet has no median.

Tariff revenue is not in these 246 rows

Customs duties collected at the border are Treasury receipts, not USITC obligations. Mixing duty collections with $66,005,408.93 would confuse the Commission’s operating award book with the government’s import-tax take. This page stays on awarding-agency obligations.

Economist and investigator salaries generally never appear as USAspending awards. The $66.0 million understates the Commission’s full operating cost if a reader expected the award file to equal the appropriation. It is complete as an award ledger.

FY2026 cutoff

Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year on the packet. The $66,005,408.93 is cumulative through that horizon, not the USITC’s FY2026 appropriation alone. Multi-year research or IT awards remain in the running total until closed.

Outlays are unpublished. Treat the figure as commitments for awarding agency 034. De-obligations would lower a later extract without appearing as a trade-case outcome.

CGAC 034 versus Commerce and USTR

International Trade Commission rows use awarding-agency code 034. The Commerce Department’s International Trade Administration, USTR, and CBP are separate CGACs. Dumping-margin calculations at Commerce and injury determinations at USITC are different statutory jobs and different award books. SpendingVault’s /agencies/034/ path stays on the Commission.

State tables for a Washington-based commission

Headquarters is in the District of Columbia. The state table for agency 034 still reports USAspending geography on the 246 awards, including vendors tagged in other states. A large state share is a location-field result, not a claim that that state’s industries filed more petitions.

Open the International Trade Commission agency page for the live $66,005,408.93 total. Use the all-agencies directory to find CGAC 034. Dollar rank is not a ranking of import competition.

Title VII dockets versus the 246-award operating book

Antidumping and countervailing-duty injury investigations, and Section 337 complaints, are the USITC’s public docket. They are not the 246 USAspending awards. A surge in petitions can leave $66,005,408.93 unchanged. A data-systems contract can move it in a quiet filing year. Keep the investigation calendar and the award ledger separate.

Customs duties collected at the border are Treasury receipts. They are not Commission obligations. Mixing duty collections with the $66.0 million would confuse an operating award book with the government’s import-tax take. This page stays on awarding agency 034.

Economist and investigator salaries generally never appear among the 246 rows, so the table understates full operating cost. FY2026 is the cutoff. The state table for agency 034 is vendor geography, not a ranking of import-sensitive industries. Use the USITC agency page for live tables. Keep this CGAC unmerged with Commerce or customs awarding agencies. Outlays are unpublished.

The Harmonized Tariff Schedule is a USITC product. Tariff-line counts are not the 246 awards. A year with more HTS amendments does not automatically move $66,005,408.93. A research-data contract can move it with no change in nomenclature. Keep the tariff book and the award ledger separate. FY2026 is the cutoff. Use the International Trade Commission agency page for live CGAC 034 tables. Duty collections remain Treasury receipts, not Commission obligations.

Translation, economic modeling, and facilities can share the 246-row book. The packet has no object-class split. The $66,005,408.93 is unsplit through FY2026 for CGAC 034. Readers who need that split must open award-level records. Use the USITC agency page for live tables. Title VII and Section 337 counts remain docket products. Duty revenue remains a Treasury receipt series, not this obligation stock.

Staff economists’ salaries generally never appear among the 246 awards, so $66,005,408.93 understates full operating cost. Refresh the USITC agency page after the next USAspending load if the question is whether that stock has moved.

Questions

How much has the International Trade Commission obligated?

USAspending.gov shows $66,005,408.93 in USITC obligations through FY2026 across 246 awards. Awarding-agency CGAC 034 is the filter. The total is not a count of Title VII or Section 337 cases and not customs duty collections. USAspending.gov records this as awarding-agency obligations through FY2026, not cash outlays. The live table for CGAC 034 is the source for the current 246-award book.

What is the average USITC award?

Dividing $66,005,408.93 by 246 awards yields about $268,315. The packet has no median. Research, IT, and facilities instruments share the same mean. That figure uses only the packet totals. The extract has no median and no contract-versus-assistance split. FY2026 is the warehouse cutoff, not a single-year appropriation.

What is agency code 034?

034 is the USAspending awarding-agency CGAC identifier for the International Trade Commission. SpendingVault uses it in /agencies/034/. Commerce ITA, USTR, and CBP use different codes. SpendingVault URLs under the agency path filter to that CGAC identifier. It is an accounting tag, not a quality score. Totals on this page are obligations through FY2026.

Is $66 million tariff revenue?

No. Customs duties are Treasury receipts. This page reports USITC awarding-agency obligations of $66,005,408.93 on 246 awards through FY2026. Outlays on those awards are unpublished in the packet. Outlays are unpublished in this packet, so this page does not estimate cash already paid. Refresh the agency page after USAspending updates rather than treating the current stock as frozen.
