Congressionally Mandated Projects federal funding in FY2026

Congressionally Mandated Projects overlapping FY2026 — CFDA 66.202

The pair is Congressionally Mandated Projects × FY2026. $338,734,440 is the obligation aggregate for rows that carry both CFDA 66.202 and fiscal year 2026 on the yearlyTrend table. The FY2026 obligation $338,734,440 is 27.6% of the CFDA program total of $1,225,343,431. This page does not invent the other fiscal-year rows that sit outside FY2026 on Congressionally Mandated Projects. Correlation is not causation: the join does not prove that FY2026 caused Congressionally Mandated Projects activity, only that USAspending coded the two keys together. It is not a project ranking or a named earmark recipient list.

SpendingVault indexes the cell from USAspending.gov. The catalog title on the program side is CONGRESSIONALLY MANDATED PROJECTS. The year on the other side is federal fiscal year 2026. Neither label is a contractor, a place of performance, or an awarding-agency code — this packet publishes no awarding agency and no named recipients. Cite $338,734,440 as obligations on the Congressionally Mandated Projects–FY2026 pair. One hundred seventy-seven FY2026 awards on $339 million sit beside a 590-award program extract; other years stay on the program hub.

CFDA 66.202 as the Congressionally Mandated Projects side

CFDA 66.202 is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier for Congressionally Mandated Projects. The program-wide obligation total in this extract is $1,225,343,431 across 590 awards. That figure is a program rollup, not a second headline for the FY2026 cell unless the two amounts match. Do not treat $1,225,343,431 as cash Treasury already sent. Project titles, sponsor names, and earmark line items are unpublished on this packet.

Open CFDA 66.202 at /programs/66.202/ for the program hub. That page is not this join: it can include other fiscal years if the extract lists them, and it is still obligations rather than outlays. This ties page stays on CFDA 66.202 in FY2026 only.

FY2026 as the 66.202 yearlyTrend cell

Federal fiscal year 2026 is the time key on this yearlyTrend row. The year hub FY2026 federal spending at /fiscal-years/2026/ rolls up every program that year in the index, not only Congressionally Mandated Projects. Reading $338,734,440 as all FY2026 federal obligations would over-read this cell. The join is one CFDA inside one fiscal year, not a Budget Appendix score.

177 FY2026 awards as a CFDA table, not a project census

The extract lists 177 awards on the Congressionally Mandated Projects × FY2026 table. That is an award-record count for this yearlyTrend cell, not a census of earmarked projects. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. Dividing $338,734,440 by 177 is not published here as a typical award size, because the packet does not say the rows are comparable. The program-wide award count is 590, a different denominator.

Project rankings this 66.202–FY2026 join cannot support

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $338,734,440 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared on Congressionally Mandated Projects in FY2026 over-reads the field. The join cannot say that Congressionally Mandated Projects expanded in FY2026 because of a policy success metric this packet omits. Keep $338,734,440 labeled as Congressionally Mandated Projects obligations in fiscal year 2026.

Budget justifications, program evaluations, and press releases answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes a different CFDA with FY2026 or a different fiscal year with Congressionally Mandated Projects, the chart has left this join. Project titles, sponsor names, and earmark line items are unpublished on this packet.
