Department of Justice federal obligations in Maine

Both keys, one total: 015 and ME

Drop the Maine filter and $176,683,925.49 is no longer this page. Drop the Department of Justice filter and $176,683,925.49 is no longer this page. The join is the product of both keys on USAspending.gov.

370 award actions sit under $176,683,925.49. That count is a mid-size award list. It is not a roster of grantees. Justice-grant and law-enforcement folklore stays off the numeric line.

A mean of $477,524.12 without a distribution

Arithmetic is allowed: $176,683,925.49 ÷ 370 ≈ $477,524.12. Interpretation as a typical justice-grant award is not allowed, because the packet has no median, no quartiles, and no award-type split.

Prosecutor, victim-service, and public-safety folklore may be a later research question on another extract. This file does not smuggle those columns in.

Maine federal spending is the wider state book

Maine federal spending includes every awarding agency tagged to Maine. Department of Justice includes every geography tagged to Department of Justice. Department of Justice in Maine is the overlap that produced $176,683,925.49.

Sibling overlays for agency 015 in other states are not remainders of this cell. This packet has no national Justice total to subtract from.

What the source note actually says

USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays. That sentence is the unit rule for every reuse of this page.

No fiscal year is in the facts. Inventing one would be a packet violation. Keep $176,683,925.49 unlabeled by FY until a later extract supplies one.

Maine outcomes are not proven by $176,683,925.49

Correlation is not causation. $176,683,925.49 does not prove that Department of Justice activity caused Maine economic results, and Maine results do not prove why the cell equals $176,683,925.49.

FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Keep campaign-finance files on their own site. Keep $176,683,925.49 on USAspending.gov.

Verify $176,683,925.49 on the live overlay

The four allowed hrefs are /states/me/agencies/015/, the Maine hub, the Department of Justice hub, and /ties/. Anchors: Department of Justice in Maine; Maine federal spending; Department of Justice; All spending ties.

Place-of-performance Maine is statewide; it does not split Portland, Bangor, and Augusta. Neighbor-coded activity in New Hampshire stays out even if mail is handled in Portland. Correlation is not causation. Justice-grant and law-enforcement folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Downeast, mill-town, and capital-city folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 015 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national Justice budget on this page. Maine's $176,683,925.49 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Department of Justice and call the difference 'Maine versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. Department of Justice is the awarding-agency label stored on the Maine overlay; the numeric key is 015. Readers who only remember the short name Justice still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $176,683,925.49. The 370 figure is not a count of grantees and is not a count of distinct Justice programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $477,524.12 is not a typical justice-grant award. Portland is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/me/agencies/015/ and canonicalPath /ties/department-of-justice-in-maine/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $176,683,925.49 or 370, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $176,683,925.49, 370 awards, agency 015, Department of Justice, Maine (ME), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $176,683,925.49. Department of Justice in Maine remains the place to verify the live rows. Repeat the pair before any reuse: Department of Justice in Maine. Repeat the source: USAspending.gov. Repeat the unit: obligations, not outlays. The overlay path /states/me/agencies/015/ and the canonical path /ties/department-of-justice-in-maine/ describe the same join. Internal links stay limited to the four packet hrefs. No other URL is added. No recipient, contractor, or donor name is invented to fill space. The facts remain the dollar total, the award count, the agency code, the agency name, the state name, and the state code.
