Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation (AMLR) federal funding in FY2026
USAspending.gov records $1,006,858,809.54 in obligations for CFDA 15.252, Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation (AMLR), in fiscal year 2026, across 43 awards. Forty-three records behind more than a billion dollars is a thin reclamation file: few vehicles, large dollars per row. The implied mean is about $23,415,321.15 per award — a packet quotient, not a typical mine-site contract. The program’s published extract is $5,923,328,385.29 on 355 awards, so FY2026 is one yearlyTrend slice of a much larger book.
Key figures
- CFDA 15.252 in FY2026: $1,006,858,809.54 across 43 awards.
- Program-wide: $5,923,328,385.29 on 355 awards.
- Implied mean about $23.42 million per record — a thin reclamation file.
- The cell is not a mine-site inventory or an outlay total.
What the 15.252 × FY2026 join is
Program 15.252 and fiscal year 2026 meet here. $1,006,858,809.54 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. An AMLR award coded to another year is out. A FY2026 award under a different Interior CFDA is out even if the work sounds like mine cleanup. This packet does not name coalfields, states, or contractors. Unique recipients are unpublished.
Forty-three awards versus 355 program-wide is a count comparison, not a ranking of unreclaimed acres. Open CFDA 15.252 for the program book, FY2026 federal spending for the year hub, All programs for sibling codes, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those pages into $1,006,858,809.54.
Forty-three large vehicles inside a $5.92 billion extract
Dividing $1,006,858,809.54 by 43 yields about $23,415,321.15. Formula or project grants to states can post as few large instruments plus amendments. 43 is not 43 mine sites and not 43 unique operators. Do not invent company names.
Program-wide facts remain $5,923,328,385.29 and 355 awards. FY2026’s share of that extract is a descriptive ratio of packet facts, not a finding that reclamation accelerated. Correlation is not causation. Other years are not this page. Do not subtract the year cell from the program total and treat the remainder as a published table.
Not an inventory of dangerous sites
$1,006,858,809.54 does not measure abandoned-mine features, acres reclaimed, or water-quality samples. Those series are unpublished here. The cell sums obligations with CFDA 15.252 and a FY2026 tag. Catalog title text is the heading, not an environmental outcome. This page does not split the total by coal basin or state.
Obligations, not outlays
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $1,006,858,809.54 is the former. Citing it as cash already spent on reclamation over-reads the field. Multi-year construction vehicles can obligate in one fiscal year and pay later. This packet has no outlay total.
FY2026 is the federal fiscal year on the award records. Partial-year ingests can still show a yearlyTrend cell; this page does not invent completeness.
How to cite AMLR in FY2026
A usable footnote names Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation (AMLR) (CFDA 15.252), fiscal year 2026, $1,006,858,809.54 in obligations, and 43 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. The compact $1.01 billion is that cell rounded. Mean dollars per action remain about $23,415,321.15 if you divide the two facts.
Prefer CFDA 15.252 if the program table moved. FY2026 federal spending still includes every other CFDA tagged to that year. All programs and All spending ties keep sibling codes and other pairs in view. A later ingest can restate $1,006,858,809.54 without changing the join definition.
Forty-three vehicles inside a multi-year reclamation book
Forty-three awards totaling $1,006,858,809.54 sit inside $5,923,328,385.29 on 355 awards program-wide. FY2026 is a yearlyTrend slice of a much larger book, not a finding that unreclaimed features shrank. The implied mean near $23,415,321.15 matches a thin formula-or-project file: few state vehicles, large dollars per row. 43 is not 43 mine sites and not 43 operators. This packet does not name coalfields, basins, or contractors. Abandoned-mine inventories, acres reclaimed, and water-quality samples are unpublished. This page does not convert the cell into environmental outcomes.
FY2026 may be a partial ingest; this page does not invent completeness. Cite CFDA 15.252 × FY2026, obligations not outlays. Construction vehicles often obligate in one year and pay across many. CFDA 15.252, FY2026 federal spending, All programs, and All spending ties are hubs and an index, not addends. Do not subtract the year cell from $5,923,328,385.29 and treat the remainder as a published other-year table. Unique recipients stay unpublished. A later ingest can add years without changing the join definition: Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation crossed with fiscal year 2026.
