Department of the Treasury (020) federal obligations in Montana

A very thin Treasury file on Montana

Department of the Treasury as awarding agency, Montana as place-of-performance: 42 records summing to $1,703,509,380.11. A Department of the Treasury award coded outside MT is out. An award in Montana from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Montana (MT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Washington. This overlay is awarding-agency 020 crossed with MT, not every Treasury CGAC.

Forty-two awards against $1,703,509,380.11 is an extremely thin Treasury file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 42 as 42 unique tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. The overlay Department of the Treasury in Montana is the both-keys table. Montana federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of the Treasury is the agency book without an MT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Agency 020 is the key on this slug. Do not merge it with a different Treasury CGAC tagged to Montana. Unique recipients are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Montana did not cause $1,703,509,380.11 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 020 × MT only.

Forty-two rows are not a taxpayer census

$1,703,509,380.11 does not measure tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 020 and an MT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 42 awards as a census of tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Montana federal spending or Department of the Treasury matched $1,703,509,380.11 and 42, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Idaho, Wyoming, and North Dakota Treasury joins are other pairs, not addends.

Montana, not a Northern Rockies rollup

Place of performance MT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Montana (MT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Washington. This overlay is awarding-agency 020 crossed with MT, not every Treasury CGAC. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Agency 020 is the key on this slug. Do not merge it with a different Treasury CGAC tagged to Montana. Unique recipients are unpublished. This packet does not split $1,703,509,380.11 by city, county, or named facility. 42 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Huge implied mean, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,703,509,380.11 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Montana confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Montana’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 42-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $1,703,509,380.11.

Citing Treasury (020) in Montana

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of the Treasury (agency 020) obligated $1,703,509,380.11 on 42 awards coded to Montana. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses.

Prefer Department of the Treasury in Montana if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Montana federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MT. Department of the Treasury is the 020 parent without the MT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,703,509,380.11.

A usable footnote names Department of the Treasury, Montana, $1,703,509,380.11, and 42. The compact headline $1.70 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $40.56 million is $1,703,509,380.11 divided by 42. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
