Department of Justice federal obligations in Alaska

How Alaska and Department of Justice share one cell

This page is a join: Department of Justice as awarding agency 015, Alaska as place of performance. The published cell is $696,809,480.67. That number does not describe every DOJ bureau account in the country, and it does not describe every federal award in Alaska. Bush-community and resource-town folklore is a reader path, not a column in this extract.

The award count is 747 — a long award list. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census and not a census of courthouses. Grantees names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Reading 747 awards against $696,809,480.67

About $932,810.55 per award is $696,809,480.67 ÷ 747. High means often mark a few large instruments; low means often mark many small rows. This packet publishes neither a breakdown by award type nor a list of grantees. U.s. attorney, prison, and byrne-grant folklore remains outside the numeric fields.

Bush-community and resource-town folklore may explain why a searcher landed here. It does not add dollars, awards, or grantees to the extract. Keep the published pair at $696,809,480.67 and 747.

Alaska geography is not the nationwide DOJ book

Department of Justice is Department of Justice without a state filter. Alaska federal spending is Alaska without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide DOJ book as if it were Alaska's $696,809,480.67 cell is a misread of the join.

A AK place-of-performance tag is not a promise that every dollar stayed inside Anchorage. Work can be planned in Alaska and performed partly in Washington or Oregon (mainland-coded awards). Those neighbor-coded awards are out of this cell. No metro split of Anchorage from Fairbanks or Juneau is published here.

Commitment versus payment

USAspending.gov distinguishes obligations from outlays. The source note on this packet is explicit: the $696,809,480.67 figure is an obligation aggregate, not cash paid. No fiscal year is published in the facts, so none is invented here.

747 actions can include modifications that change a prior obligation. That is why a record count is not a unique-project census. Use Department of Justice in Alaska for the live table.

Correlation is not causation

The join is descriptive. $696,809,480.67 does not prove that Alaska received too much or too little DOJ money, and it does not prove that grant administration caused local outcomes. No performance metric is in the packet.

Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. Department of Justice obligations in Alaska and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them.

A clean footnote for agency 015 in Alaska

Cite both sides: Department of Justice (agency 015) and Alaska. Then cite $696,809,480.67 and 747. Then cite USAspending.gov. Skip metro folklore about Anchorage from Fairbanks or Juneau. Skip invented grantees.

Follow Department of Justice in Alaska for the overlay, Alaska federal spending for statewide context, Department of Justice for the agency without Alaska, and All spending ties for sibling joins. Bush-community and resource-town folklore does not add a third numeric field. This packet's facts remain $696,809,480.67, 747, 015, AK, and Department of Justice. The 747 figure is not a count of unique grantees and is not a count of distinct Justice awards. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $932,810.55 is not a typical justice-assistance award. Statewide Alaska includes Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau only as reader landmarks. None of those names is a published subtotal. A county or city extract would be a different USAspending query. Department of Justice in Alaska remains the filtered table for this pair. Alaska federal spending answers a statewide question that mixes agencies. Department of Justice answers an agency question that mixes states. All spending ties is the catalog of other two-sided pages, not a sum of this cell plus its siblings.

Questions

What is the DOJ obligation total for Alaska?

USAspending.gov records $696,809,480.67 in obligations for awarding agency 015 (Department of Justice) with Alaska place of performance, covering 747 awards. That is an obligation total, not an outlay total, and not Department of Justice's nationwide budget.

Is $932,810.55 a typical justice-assistance award in Alaska?

The extract lists 747 award actions totaling $696,809,480.67. Average obligation per award is about $932,810.55, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical justice-assistance award. Unique grantees are not published here. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Does the Alaska figure split Anchorage from Fairbanks or Juneau?

No. $696,809,480.67 and 747 awards are statewide Alaska place of performance. This packet does not split Anchorage from Fairbanks or Juneau. Awards coded to Washington or Oregon (mainland-coded awards) are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Anchorage.

Which page filters Department of Justice to Alaska?

Department of Justice in Alaska is the overlay. Alaska federal spending shows all agencies in the state. Department of Justice shows agency 015 without a state filter. All spending ties lists other pairs. Original filings remain on the source sites.
