CRISI Special Transportation Circumstances funding in Wyoming (CFDA 20.338)

Wyoming and CFDA 20.338 as a join

CFDA 20.338 is titled CONSOLIDATED RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM – SPECIAL TRANSPORTATION CIRCUMSTANCES. The em dash in the catalog title is part of the program name; it is not a second CFDA number. Filtered to Wyoming place of performance, obligations sum to $60,906,278 on 2 awards. The national 20.338 hub includes every other state. Wyoming federal spending includes every other program. This tie is the intersection.

An obligation is a recorded commitment, not an outlay. The packet publishes no fiscal year, so $60,906,278 cannot be read as a single construction season. Correlation between Wyoming geography and 20.338 coding is not evidence that a named rail line was rebuilt, a crossing was closed, or freight volume changed.

Packet facts stop at Wyoming, CFDA 20.338, $60,906,278, and 2 awards. Recipient names, railroad identifiers, and project descriptions are absent. Do not invent contractors, carriers, or award recipients.

20.338 is not the main CRISI catalog in Wyoming

Other Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements lines and other FRA or FTA catalogs sit on different CFDA numbers. Mixing those dollars into $60,906,278 would invent a broader total than this 20.338 × WY cell contains. Facts available: Wyoming, CFDA 20.338, $60,906,278, 2 awards. The program name on the packet includes the Special Transportation Circumstances clause; that clause is the catalog, not a footnote.

Dividing $60,906,278 by 2 yields about $30.45 million per award. That average is an implied mean of two large instruments, not a typical tie-replacement cost and not a median. Unique recipients are unpublished. Two is not a count of Wyoming rail lines, depots, or counties.

Wyoming geography on the 20.338 tag

WY is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Cheyenne, Casper, or another Wyoming locality can share the tag. Awards coded to Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, or Nebraska stay outside $60,906,278 even when a corridor crosses a border. The code does not convert $60.9 million into a track map.

Wyoming federal spending is the all-program parent. 20.338 is one row on Wyoming programs. $60,906,278 is not the state's complete federal footprint. Open Consolidated Rail Infrastructure And Safety Improvements Program – Special Transportation Circumstances in Wyoming for the filtered table, CFDA 20.338 for the program without a Wyoming filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into this cell.

Reading 2 awards under $60.9 million

$60,906,278 ÷ 2 is about $30.45 million per award. The figure is not a median and is not a cost per mile. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 2 as a USAspending award-record count, not as 2 finished rail projects.

Without a transaction register on this page, you cannot see whether the two rows are new awards, continuations, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $60,906,278 without changing the join key of 20.338 and WY.

What the 20.338–Wyoming pair does not prove

A Special Transportation Circumstances total tagged to Wyoming does not measure safety outcomes, ton-miles, or construction progress, and it does not equal cash disbursed. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $60,906,278 on 2 awards for CFDA 20.338 in Wyoming.

Keep both sides of the join: Consolidated Rail Infrastructure And Safety Improvements Program – Special Transportation Circumstances and Wyoming, obligations only. Do not annualize $60,906,278 without a year field. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a corridor narrative.
