Department of the Interior obligations in South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00)

Interior × SD-00 is a land-and-trust join, not a reservation census

This page is a join: Department of the Interior (agency 014) as awarding agency, and South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,949,794,418.58 on 1,175 awards. The join is awarding-agency 014 crossed with South Dakota’s at-large district tag, not the state’s entire natural-resources budget and not a tribe or park roster. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 1,175 awards equal 1,175 tribes, parks, or unique contractors.

USDA conservation, EPA water lines, or Interior-coded awards in North Dakota sit outside this total unless they also carry agency 014 and SD-00. Mixing those books into $1,949,794,418.58 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and park visitation is not causation. Visitor counts and acreage tables are not in the packet. Place of performance as SD-00 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,949,794,418.58 in a district treasury. Pierre-versus-Rapid City folklore is not a geography split in this packet.

1,175 awards behind $1.95 billion

Mean obligation is about $1,659,399.51 if $1,949,794,418.58 were divided evenly across 1,175 lines. That ratio is not a published per-acre cost and not a typical compact size. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of tribes, parks, or unique vendors. One thousand one hundred seventy-five awards is a thick Interior file relative to many district cells, still a row count rather than a unit census.

Bureau and compact vehicles can both appear among the 1,175 lines. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open South Dakota At-Large District for the stored district table. Do not convert 1,175 into a map of South Dakota reservations or parks. The $1,949,794,418.58 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring a tribe or park census.

South Dakota At-Large, not a park-by-park rollup

South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. South Dakota At-Large (SD-00) is the state’s single House district tag. Awards tagged to ND-00 or another state are out. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $20,304,783,123.44 across every awarding agency; $1,949,794,418.58 is the Department of the Interior slice — about 9.6% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover agency list.

A statewide Interior figure on South Dakota federal spending shares the at-large geography but still mixes every agency unless you stay on this pair. Do not rank SD-00 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other South Dakota district cells are other joins. South Dakota federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide Department of the Interior dollars to $1,949,794,418.58 would double count. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

Agency 014 obligations are not visitor fees already collected

Interior awards often obligate as bureau contracts and tribal assistance rows and draw as programs operate. The $1,949,794,418.58 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of park visits completed and not a Treasury outlay total. A NPS or BIA allocation table dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 014, SD-00 geography, and the obligation metric.

Department of the Interior is the nationwide agency book without a SD-00 filter. This extract does not split BIA from NPS, and it does not split water from wildlife. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 1,175 awards, agency 014, and South Dakota At-Large District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

What the SD-00 Interior table omits

The extract has no tribe names, park names, or acreage. Facts remain $1,949,794,418.58, 1,175 awards, agency 014, Department of the Interior, South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00), and district parent $20,304,783,123.44. Unit names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label. Later ingests can revise both the dollars and the 1,175-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.

Where the Interior × SD-00 pair lives

Start with South Dakota At-Large District for the district rollup that contains this Department of the Interior cell. Department of the Interior is the nationwide agency listing. South Dakota federal spending gives South Dakota context without a SD-00 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. 1,175 awards totaling this cell remain an administrative file, not a reservation census. Keep both Department of the Interior and South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $1,949,794,418.58 as cash already paid or as South Dakota’s entire interior appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join.

Questions

How much Interior spending is obligated in South Dakota At-Large?

USAspending.gov shows $1,949,794,418.58 in Department of the Interior (agency 014) obligations with South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) as place of performance, across 1,175 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district’s full $20,304,783,123.44 parent. Other agencies sit outside this join unless they also carry 014.

Do 1,175 awards mean 1,175 South Dakota tribes or parks?

No. Award count is a row count of Department of the Interior actions tagged to SD-00. It is not a tribe, park, or vendor census. Mean obligation of about $1,659,399.51 is a quotient of $1,949,794,418.58 and 1,175, not a per-unit cost.

Does this Interior cell include USDA conservation in South Dakota?

No. This page is awarding agency 014 only. USDA conservation is a different join. $1,949,794,418.58 is about 9.6% of the South Dakota At-Large District parent $20,304,783,123.44 by arithmetic. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.

Is the South Dakota Interior total already paid as outlays?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $1,949,794,418.58 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Drawdowns and remaining balances are not published here. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.
