Interior obligations in Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02)
USAspending.gov tags $934,457,899.29 to Department of the Interior inside Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02) — 406 award records, not outlays. Four hundred six Interior-coded awards equal about nine percent of OK-02’s district obligation total. Commerce meets Oklahoma 5th District on a separate tie; those dollars are not this cell. That pair is Department of the Interior and Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02) — not Oklahoma’s entire federal inflow, not Department of the Interior nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 8.8% of this district’s published obligation total ($10,661,154,764.96). Implied average obligation is about $2,301,620.44 ($934,457,899.29 ÷ 406). Correlation is not causation.

Interior obligations coded to Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02)
Awarding agency 014 and congressional district OK-02 meet here. $934,457,899.29 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 Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 406 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a park census, a tribal roster, or a named-contractor file.
Dividing $934,457,899.29 by 406 yields about $2,301,620.44 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 406 awards is a mid-size Interior file. It is not a park census and not a tribal roster. The packet does not name bureaus or contractors. Do not treat OK-02’s 014 cell as a synonym for every Interior account nationwide. Open Oklahoma 2nd District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of the Interior for agency 014 without a OK-02 filter, Oklahoma federal spending for every awarding agency in the Oklahoma extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $934,457,899.29.
What Interior contributes to this pair
USAspending labels awarding agency 014 as Department of the Interior. That code produced $934,457,899.29 when crossed with Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02) place of performance. The agency-wide 014 hub does not require OK-02 geography. The district hub does not require Interior. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 406 awards. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02) did not “cause” $934,457,899.29 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 014 × OK-02 only. It is not a park census, a tribal roster, 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 Oklahoma statewide totals
Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list OK-02 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Oklahoma districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 014. Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Oklahoma. Other Oklahoma districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 014. Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02) is not Oklahoma 5th District. Agency 014 is Department of the Interior, not Commerce agency 013. Keep the district code so Oklahoma joins do not collapse.
Oklahoma federal spending shows how agency 014 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $934,457,899.29 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02) 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 $10,661,154,764.96; $934,457,899.29 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. $934,457,899.29 is that kind of sum for Department of the Interior inside OK-02 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 $934,457,899.29 as given.
Oklahoma’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 406-row Interior cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 406 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 ($2,301,620.44) is a concentration statistic, not a typical OK-02 Interior payment.
Live tables versus this snapshot
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of the Interior (agency 014) obligated $934,457,899.29 on 406 awards coded to Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02). Name Department of the Interior and Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02) together. Keep the obligation word. If Oklahoma 2nd District or Department of the Interior has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a park census, a tribal roster, or a named-contractor file. 8.8% of $10,661,154,764.96 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep Department of the Interior, Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02), $934,457,899.29, and 406 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of the Interior is the 014 parent without a OK-02 filter. Oklahoma federal spending is the Oklahoma 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
406 awards is a mid-size Interior file. It is not a park census and not a tribal roster. The packet does not name bureaus or contractors. 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 $2,301,620.44) and the district share (8.8% of $10,661,154,764.96) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Oklahoma 2nd District and Department of the Interior if the live tables moved.
Do not rank Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02) 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 $934,457,899.29 and 406 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 Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02)?
- USAspending.gov lists $934,457,899.29 in Department of the Interior obligations across 406 awards with place of performance in Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02). Agency 014 × OK-02 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Oklahoma’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 8.8% of the district’s published total ($10,661,154,764.96). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $2,301,620.44, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $934,457,899.29 include every Interior program in OK-02?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. $934,457,899.29 is the combined obligation sum for agency 014 inside OK-02 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of the Interior and Oklahoma 2nd District to inspect parent tables. 406 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $934,457,899.29 cash already paid in Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02)?
- 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 $934,457,899.29 as checks already cleared in Oklahoma 2nd District (OK-02) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 406 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
- What share of OK-02 obligations is agency 014?
- Agency 014 accounts for 8.8% of $10,661,154,764.96 in district-wide obligations on this packet. That share is $934,457,899.29 ÷ $10,661,154,764.96. It is not a ranking of Oklahoma districts and not an outlay share. Other awarding agencies occupy the remaining district total on other ties.
USAspending.gov congressional district place-of-performance joined to awarding agency. District 90/98 (multi/non-voting placeholders) are omitted. Obligations are not outlays.
