Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program via Department of Justice

Byrne JAG overlapping Justice — CFDA 16.738

The pair is Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program × Department of Justice. $1,530,476,384.09 is the obligation aggregate for rows that carry both CFDA 16.738 and awarding-agency 015. The join obligation $1,530,476,384.09 equals the CFDA program total of $1,530,476,384.09 in this extract, so this packet does not publish a leftover Byrne JAG slice at a second awarding agency. Correlation is not causation: the join does not prove that Department of Justice caused Byrne JAG activity, only that USAspending coded the two keys together. It is not a state criminal-justice ranking or a named JAG recipient list.

SpendingVault indexes the cell from USAspending.gov. The catalog title on the program side is EDWARD BYRNE MEMORIAL JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT PROGRAM. The agency name on the awarding side is Department of Justice. Neither label is a contractor, a place of performance, or a fiscal-year stamp — this packet publishes no fiscal year. Cite $1,530,476,384.09 as obligations on the Byrne JAG–Justice pair.

CFDA 16.738 as the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant side

CFDA 16.738 is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier for Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program. The program-wide obligation total in this extract is $1,530,476,384.09. That figure is a program rollup, not a second headline for the Department of Justice slice unless the two amounts match. Do not treat $1,530,476,384.09 as cash Treasury already sent. SAA names, local recipients, and formula shares are unpublished on this packet.

Open CFDA 16.738 at /programs/16.738/ for the program hub. That page is not this join: it can include other awarding agencies if the extract lists them, and it is still obligations rather than outlays. This ties page stays on CFDA 16.738 awarded by agency 015 only.

Agency 015, Department of Justice

Department of Justice is awarding-agency 015 on USAspending assistance rows. The agency hub Department of Justice at /agencies/015/ rolls up every program that agency awards in the index, not only Byrne JAG. Reading $1,530,476,384.09 as Department of Justice’s entire book would over-read this cell. The join is one CFDA inside one agency, not a department budget justification.

Do not add Federal Election Commission contribution totals to $1,530,476,384.09. Campaign-finance receipts and USAspending award obligations are separate public-record systems even when a geography or a calendar year happens to overlap. This packet has no FEC facts.

2,305 awards as a CFDA table, not a jurisdiction census

The extract lists 2,305 awards on the Byrne JAG × Department of Justice table. That is an award-record count, not a census of jurisdictions. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. Dividing $1,530,476,384.09 by 2,305 is not published here as a typical award size, because the packet does not say the rows are comparable.

Crime rankings this Byrne JAG–Justice join cannot support

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $1,530,476,384.09 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared on Byrne JAG over-reads the field. The join cannot say that Department of Justice specialized in Byrne JAG because of a policy success metric this packet omits. Keep $1,530,476,384.09 labeled as Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program obligations awarded by Department of Justice.
