How much Office for Coastal Management funding is obligated in DC?

USAspending.gov shows $731,237,492 in obligations for CFDA 11.473 with District of Columbia as place of performance, across 23 awards. Place of performance is a coding field and can follow an office address. The sum is commitments, not outlays, and not a District shoreline budget.

Does DC place of performance mean the money stayed in the District?

Not necessarily. USAspending location fields can follow recipient address, a federal office, or a project site. The packet does not say which applied to these 23 awards. Subawards to coastal states are not in this extract. $731,237,492 is the tagged obligation total only.

Is this NOAA’s entire coastal budget?

No. The join is CFDA 11.473 crossed with District of Columbia place of performance. Other Commerce and NOAA listings are outside $731,237,492 unless they also carry 11.473. The packet does not name an awarding-office split or a fiscal year.

How many awards does the DC coastal-management join include?

The extract lists 23 awards. That is a row count, not a count of coastal states, NOAA offices, or shoreline miles. Mean dollars per award are a mechanical ratio if the $731,237,492 were even, not a published grant size. See the DC 11.473 overlay for named lines.

Awards

Office for Coastal Management (CFDA 11.473) shows $731,237,492 in USAspending.gov obligations with the District of Columbia as place of performance. Twenty-three awards carry that total. A coastal-management listing coded to DC is a location join — often administrative or headquarters geography in federal files — not a claim that the District has a coastline equivalent to a coastal state. The dollars are obligations, not outlays.

Why a coastal CFDA can show a District of Columbia place of performance

This page joins CFDA 11.473, OFFICE FOR COASTAL MANAGEMENT, with District of Columbia as the recorded place of performance. USAspending location fields can follow the recipient’s address, a federal office, or a project site. The packet does not say which of those drove DC on these 23 awards. Readers should not infer that $731,237,492 was spent on District shoreline restoration, because the extract never measures shoreline. The join reports tagged obligations: $731,237,492 on 23 awards.

Coastal-management work funded from a DC-coded award can still occur in other states after subawards or partnerships. That possibility is a reminder, not a hidden dollar split — this packet has no subaward table. Conversely, coastal states’ own 11.473 joins are separate pages. Mixing DC’s $731,237,492 with a Maryland or Virginia coastal total would invent a Chesapeake share the file does not compute. Correlation between a DC location code and coastal outcomes elsewhere is not causation. The extract reports tagged obligations only: $731,237,492 on 23 awards with District of Columbia as the location field.

23 awards at a high average commitment

Twenty-three awards against $731,237,492 implies a mechanical mean near $31.79 million per award if the dollars were even. That ratio is not a published grant size. A small number of cooperative agreements or intra-governmental awards can dominate a headquarters-coded listing. Award count is still a row count, including possible modifications. It is not a count of coastal programs, NOAA offices, or miles of shore.

Because 23 is a short list, the overlay is scannable. The packet still does not name recipients in these facts. Open the District of Columbia 11.473 overlay for the lines behind the total. Do not treat 23 as a census of coastal states served from DC. The $731,237,492 figure stays a tagged obligation sum, not a shoreline ledger for the District.
