Department of Energy federal obligations in Arkansas
Department of Energy shows $585,583,552.60 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Arkansas, across 86 awards. Awarding-agency 089 and Arkansas (AR) are the pair. 86 awards against $585,583,552.60 is a thin 86-award Energy file against a large dollar total, not a typical high-count grants book. The implied mean is about $6,809,111.08 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Eighty-six Energy rows on Arkansas
Department of Energy as awarding agency, Arkansas as place-of-performance: 86 records summing to $585,583,552.60. A Department of Energy award coded outside AR is out. An award in Arkansas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Arkansas (AR) excludes Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. A Little Rock-coded award with a Tennessee place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
86 awards against $585,583,552.60 is a thin 86-award Energy file against a large dollar total, not a typical high-count grants book. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 86 as 86 unique megawatts, named plants, or cleanup acres. Department of Energy in Arkansas is the both-keys table. Arkansas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Energy is the agency book without an AR filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Eighty-six awards against a nine-figure total is a thin file. This 089 join is not Arkansas RRB 060. Do not invent a named plant. Unique recipients stay unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Arkansas did not cause $585,583,552.60 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 089 × AR only.
Energy folklore is not a plant census
$585,583,552.60 does not measure megawatts, named plants, or cleanup acres. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 089 and an AR place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 86 awards as a census of megawatts, named plants, or cleanup acres. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Arkansas federal spending or Department of Energy matched $585,583,552.60 and 86, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state Energy joins are other pairs, not addends.
Arkansas, not a Little Rock-only map
Place of performance AR is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Arkansas (AR) excludes Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. A Little Rock-coded award with a Tennessee place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not split $585,583,552.60 by city, county, or named facility. 86 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
A thin Energy file, still obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $585,583,552.60 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Arkansas confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Arkansas’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 86 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $585,583,552.60. Sharing a geography with Department of Energy does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
Citing Energy in Arkansas
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Energy (agency 089) obligated $585,583,552.60 on 86 awards coded to Arkansas. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as megawatts, named plants, or cleanup acres.
Prefer Department of Energy in Arkansas if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Arkansas federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to AR. Department of Energy is the 089 parent without the AR filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $585,583,552.60.
A usable footnote names Department of Energy, Arkansas, $585,583,552.60, and 86. The compact headline $585.6M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $6,809,111.08 is $585,583,552.60 divided by 86. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
