Congressionally Recommended Awards awarded by Department of Justice

Cong. Awards × Justice is CFDA 16.753, not an earmark catalog

This page is a join: Congressionally Recommended Awards (CFDA 16.753) and the Department of Justice (agency 015). $593,594,705.67 is the obligation sum on that pair. It is not the government-wide assistance total, not every CFDA on All programs, and not cash already paid. Correlation is not causation: a large pair cell does not prove the Department of Justice caused activity described by the program title, or the reverse. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; FEC donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.

/programs/16.753/ is the program parent without an awarding-agency filter. /agencies/015/ is the agency parent without this CFDA filter. /ties/ lists other pairs and /programs/ lists other CFDA hubs. A Congressionally Recommended Awards award tagged to a different awarding agency sits outside this cell even if the CFDA is still 16.753. A Department of Justice award on a different CFDA sits outside even if the topic sounds related. Seven hundred seventy-eight awards is not 778 unique earmark projects. Modifications can add rows without naming a new grantee.

Congressionally Recommended Awards as the program side

CFDA 16.753 is Congressionally Recommended Awards. Confusing this join with Commerce congressionally identified projects 11.617, Byrne JAG, or a member-office folklore table would be a different table. Packet facts on the program side are the name Congressionally Recommended Awards, number 16.753, and program-wide obligations $593,594,705.67. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names. Any other vendor, school, tribe, carrier, or grantee list would be invented.

Readers sometimes treat a CFDA–agency total as a budget Congress passed for a named activity. $593,594,705.67 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation rollup tagged to Congressionally Recommended Awards and awarded by the Department of Justice. Cite both sides. Do not treat this cell as Commerce Congressionally-Identified Projects (CFDA 11.617). That is a different awarding agency and catalog number.

Department of Justice as the awarding-agency side

Awarding-agency code 015 is the Department of Justice. It is not a bureau split inside that department, not a place-of-performance state, and not a NAICS industry. In this extract the pair cell $593,594,705.67 matches the program-wide obligation total $593,594,705.67. Do not treat the program-wide $593,594,705.67 as if it were automatically the pair headline when the two figures differ. When they match, equality still does not name recipients.

778 awards behind the recommended-awards–Justice cell

The extract lists 778 awards on the Cong. Awards × Justice pair. A thick recommended-award file: 778 awards against a large obligation total. Dividing $593,594,705.67 by 778 yields about $762,975 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. 778 is not an earmark-project catalog, a named-grantee roster, or a county-sheriff census.

Recommended-award obligations are not local payroll already paid

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $593,594,705.67 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared over-reads the field. The join cannot say that the Department of Justice specialized in cong. awards because of federal demand. Keep $593,594,705.67 labeled as Congressionally Recommended Awards obligations awarded by the Department of Justice. It is not an earmark-project catalog, a named-grantee roster, or a county-sheriff census. The packet publishes no fiscal year, so this page does not invent one.

Budget justifications, program catalogs, and private scorecards answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes Commerce congressionally identified projects 11.617, Byrne JAG, or a member-office folklore table with CFDA 16.753 at agency 015, the chart has left this join. Project titles, sponsor names, and earmark line items are unpublished on this packet.
