Environmental Protection Agency federal obligations in Nebraska

A thin EPA file on Nebraska

Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, Nebraska as place-of-performance: 127 records summing to $833,999,821.32. A Environmental Protection Agency award coded outside NE is out. An award in Nebraska from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Nebraska (NE) excludes Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Missouri. A Council Bluffs-coded award is Iowa even if the river story sounds similar.

One hundred twenty-seven awards against $833,999,821.32 is a thin EPA book. The implied mean is large and is not a typical project size. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 127 as 127 unique Superfund sites, unique water systems, or a census of permits. The overlay Environmental Protection Agency in Nebraska is the both-keys table. Nebraska federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Environmental Protection Agency is the agency book without an NE filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Omaha, Lincoln, and Grand Island share one NE stamp. EPA program offices can share awarding-agency 068 without a published program pie. Correlation is not causation: Nebraska did not cause $833,999,821.32 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 068 × NE only.

127 actions are not 127 Superfund sites

$833,999,821.32 does not measure Superfund sites, unique water systems, or a census of permits. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 068 and an NE place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 127 awards as a census of Superfund sites, unique water systems, or a census of permits. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Nebraska federal spending or Environmental Protection Agency matched $833,999,821.32 and 127, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state EPA joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $833,999,821.32 by 127 yields about $6,566,927.73 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical EPA line and not a published median.

Nebraska, not a Missouri River EPA rollup

Place of performance NE is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Nebraska (NE) excludes Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Missouri. A Council Bluffs-coded award is Iowa even if the river story sounds similar. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Omaha, Lincoln, and Grand Island share one NE stamp. This packet does not split $833,999,821.32 by city, county, or named facility. 127 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Few EPA rows, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $833,999,821.32 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Nebraska confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Nebraska's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 127-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 $833,999,821.32.

What this pair does not prove

A large EPA total in Nebraska does not mean the agency caused Nebraska's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Keep $833,999,821.32 labeled as agency 068 obligations with Nebraska place of performance. Neighbor EPA cells among Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Missouri are separate joins. This page does not rank Nebraska as a winner or loser.

Recipient names are unpublished in this packet. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to explain $833,999,821.32. Place-of-performance NE can differ from a vendor mailroom. A Council Bluffs-coded award is Iowa even if the river story sounds similar. A later ingest can restate $833,999,821.32 and 127 without changing the join definition: awarding agency 068 crossed with Nebraska.

Citing EPA in Nebraska

Cite USAspending.gov: Environmental Protection Agency (agency 068) obligated $833,999,821.32 on 127 awards coded to Nebraska. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as Superfund sites, unique water systems, or a census of permits.

Prefer Environmental Protection Agency in Nebraska if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Nebraska federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NE. Environmental Protection Agency is the 068 parent without the NE filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $833,999,821.32.

A usable footnote names Environmental Protection Agency, Nebraska, $833,999,821.32, and 127. The implied mean near $6,566,927.73 is $833,999,821.32 divided by 127. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset; they do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.
