Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Montana

Agency 070 meeting Montana

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, Montana as place-of-performance: 201 awards summing to $542,742,689.66. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside MT is out. An award in Montana from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Montana (MT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota. A Billings-coded award with a Wyoming place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

201 awards against $542,742,689.66 is a 201-award homeland-security file, thinner than a grants catalog. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 201 as 201 unique disaster declarations, named incidents, or component headcounts. Department of Homeland Security in Montana is the both-keys table. Montana federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without a MT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

FEMA, CBP, and Coast Guard are not split on this aggregate. The awarding-agency key is 070. Unique incident names are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Montana did not cause $542,742,689.66 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × MT only.

Preparedness folklore is unpublished

$542,742,689.66 does not measure disaster declarations, named incidents, or component headcounts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and an MT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 201 awards as a census of disaster declarations, named incidents, or component headcounts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Montana federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $542,742,689.66 and 201, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.

Montana, not a county-seat list

Place of performance MT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Montana (MT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota. A Billings-coded award with a Wyoming place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $542,742,689.66 by city, county, or named facility. 201 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Two hundred one obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $542,742,689.66 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Montana confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Montana’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 201 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 $542,742,689.66.

Citing DHS in Montana

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $542,742,689.66 on 201 awards coded to Montana. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as disaster declarations, named incidents, or component headcounts.

Prefer Department of Homeland Security in Montana if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Montana federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MT. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without the MT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $542,742,689.66.

A usable footnote names Department of Homeland Security, Montana, $542,742,689.66, and 201. The compact headline $542.7M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2,700,212.39 is $542,742,689.66 divided by 201. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
