EPA obligations in Mississippi 2nd District (MS-02)

A place-of-performance join: EPA × MS-02

Awarding agency 068 and congressional district MS-02 meet here. $709,819,226.98 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Environmental Protection Agency’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Mississippi 2nd District (MS-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split EPA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. 62 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a Superfund site list, a permit census, or a named-grantee file.

Dividing $709,819,226.98 by 62 yields about $11,448,697.21 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 62 awards is a compact EPA file, far thinner than MS-02’s 17,617 USDA rows, with a different dollar total. Do not treat MS-02’s 068 cell as a synonym for every EPA account nationwide. Open Mississippi 2nd District for the district table without this agency filter, Environmental Protection Agency for agency 068 without a MS-02 filter, Mississippi federal spending for every awarding agency in the Mississippi extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $709,819,226.98.

Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, not as a named-vendor list

USAspending labels awarding agency 068 as Environmental Protection Agency. That code produced $709,819,226.98 when crossed with Mississippi 2nd District (MS-02) place of performance. The agency-wide 068 hub does not require MS-02 geography. The district hub does not require EPA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 62 awards. The packet does not split EPA programs or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Mississippi 2nd District (MS-02) did not “cause” $709,819,226.98 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 068 × MS-02 only. It is not a Superfund site list, a permit census, or a named-grantee 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.

Place of performance for Mississippi 2nd District (MS-02)

Mississippi 2nd District (MS-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 MS-02 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Mississippi districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 068. Mississippi 2nd District (MS-02) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Mississippi. Other Mississippi districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 068. Mississippi 2nd District (MS-02) already hosts a Department of Agriculture tie in this slice. This page is agency 068 only. Same geography, different awarding-agency filter.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $709,819,226.98 is that kind of sum for Environmental Protection Agency inside MS-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 $709,819,226.98 as given.

Mississippi’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 62-row EPA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 62 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 ($11,448,697.21) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MS-02 EPA payment.

Using 7.7% and $11,448,697.21 without overclaiming

62 awards is a compact EPA file, far thinner than MS-02’s 17,617 USDA rows, with a different dollar total. 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 $11,448,697.21) and the district share (7.7% of $9,265,627,091.88) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Mississippi 2nd District and Environmental Protection Agency if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Mississippi 2nd District (MS-02) as more EPA-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 068 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 068 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $709,819,226.98 and 62 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
