Department of the Interior obligations in Maryland 8th District (MD-08)

Interior obligations coded to Maryland 8th District (MD-08)

Awarding agency 014 and congressional district MD-08 meet here. $1,713,920,538.64 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of the Interior's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Maryland 8th District (MD-08), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 382 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a park visitor count, a land-acre inventory, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $1,713,920,538.64 by 382 yields about $4,486,702.98 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 382 awards is a mid-size Interior file. Bureau splits and named parks are unpublished. Do not treat MD-08's 014 cell as a synonym for every Interior account nationwide. Open Maryland 8th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of the Interior for agency 014 without a MD-08 filter, Maryland federal spending for every awarding agency in the Maryland extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,713,920,538.64.

What Interior contributes to this pair

USAspending labels awarding agency 014 as Department of the Interior. That code produced $1,713,920,538.64 when crossed with Maryland 8th District (MD-08) place of performance. The agency-wide 014 hub does not require MD-08 geography. The district hub does not require Interior. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 382 awards. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Maryland 8th District (MD-08) did not cause $1,713,920,538.64 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 014 × MD-08 only. This cell is not a park visitor count, a land-acre inventory, or a named-contractor file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

District geography versus Maryland statewide totals

Maryland 8th District (MD-08) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list MD-08 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Maryland districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 014. Maryland 8th District (MD-08) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Maryland. Other Maryland districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 014. Maryland 8th District (MD-08) is a high-dollar place-of-performance geography. Other Maryland districts, including Maryland 7th Education, are different stamps.

Maryland federal spending shows how agency 014 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $1,713,920,538.64 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Maryland 8th District (MD-08) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of the Interior. The district-wide obligation total published here is $61,236,689,187.98; $1,713,920,538.64 is the Interior slice of that denominator.

Why this is not an outlay register

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,713,920,538.64 is that kind of sum for Department of the Interior inside MD-08 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $1,713,920,538.64 as given.

Maryland's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 382-row Interior cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 382 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($4,486,702.98) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MD-08 Interior payment.

Keep Department of the Interior, Maryland 8th District (MD-08), $1,713,920,538.64, and 382 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of the Interior is the 014 parent without a MD-08 filter. Maryland federal spending is the Maryland parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Interior does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

What this packet refuses to infer

382 awards is a mid-size Interior file. Bureau splits and named parks are unpublished. USAID and Justice share MD-08 as place of performance on sibling ties. Keep awarding-agency 014 on this page only. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $4,486,702.98) and the district share (2.8% of $61,236,689,187.98) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Maryland 8th District and Department of the Interior if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Maryland 8th District (MD-08) as more Interior-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 014 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 014 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $1,713,920,538.64 and 382 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much Interior spending is coded to Maryland 8th District (MD-08)?

USAspending.gov lists $1,713,920,538.64 in Department of the Interior obligations across 382 awards with place of performance in Maryland 8th District (MD-08). Agency 014 × MD-08 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Maryland's complete federal ledger. The cell is 2.8% of the district's published total ($61,236,689,187.98). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $4,486,702.98, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $1,713,920,538.64 include every Interior program in MD-08?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. $1,713,920,538.64 is the combined obligation sum for agency 014 inside MD-08 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of the Interior and Maryland 8th District to inspect parent tables. 382 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $1,713,920,538.64 cash already paid in Maryland 8th District (MD-08)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $1,713,920,538.64 as checks already cleared in Maryland 8th District (MD-08) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 382 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

What share of MD-08 obligations is agency 014?

Agency 014 accounts for 2.8% of $61,236,689,187.98 in district-wide obligations on this packet. That share is $1,713,920,538.64 ÷ $61,236,689,187.98. It is not a ranking of Maryland districts and not an outlay share. Other awarding agencies occupy the remaining district total on other ties.
