EPA obligations in Ohio 12th District (OH-12)

The Ohio 12th District (OH-12) filter on EPA

Awarding agency 068 and congressional district OH-12 meet here. $700,047,370.35 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 Ohio 12th District (OH-12), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split EPA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. 53 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $700,047,370.35 by 53 yields about $13,208,440.95 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 53 awards is a compact EPA file. The implied mean is large relative to a small-grant story and is still not a named Superfund site list. Do not treat OH-12’s 068 cell as a synonym for every EPA account nationwide. Open Ohio 12th District for the district table without this agency filter, Environmental Protection Agency for agency 068 without a OH-12 filter, Ohio federal spending for every awarding agency in the Ohio extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $700,047,370.35.

The Environmental Protection Agency awarding-agency rollup

USAspending labels awarding agency 068 as Environmental Protection Agency. That code produced $700,047,370.35 when crossed with Ohio 12th District (OH-12) place of performance. The agency-wide 068 hub does not require OH-12 geography. The district hub does not require EPA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 53 awards. The packet does not split EPA programs or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Ohio 12th District (OH-12) did not “cause” $700,047,370.35 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 068 × OH-12 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.

Reading the OH-12 stamp

Ohio 12th District (OH-12) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list OH-12 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Ohio districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 068. Ohio 12th District (OH-12) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Ohio. Other Ohio districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 068. Ohio 12th District (OH-12) is not Ohio 3rd District. Agency 068 is Environmental Protection Agency, not NSF agency 049. Do not merge those Ohio pairs.

Ohio federal spending shows how agency 068 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $700,047,370.35 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Ohio 12th District (OH-12) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Environmental Protection Agency. The district-wide obligation total published here is $6,577,843,124.15; $700,047,370.35 is the EPA slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $700,047,370.35 is that kind of sum for Environmental Protection Agency inside OH-12 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 $700,047,370.35 as given.

Ohio’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 53-row EPA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 53 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 ($13,208,440.95) is a concentration statistic, not a typical OH-12 EPA payment.

Citing $700,047,370.35 without dropping a join side

Cite USAspending.gov: Environmental Protection Agency (agency 068) obligated $700,047,370.35 on 53 awards coded to Ohio 12th District (OH-12). Name Environmental Protection Agency and Ohio 12th District (OH-12) together. Keep the obligation word. If Ohio 12th District or Environmental Protection Agency has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a Superfund site list, a permit census, or a named-grantee file. 10.6% of $6,577,843,124.15 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Row count versus dollar concentration

53 awards is a compact EPA file. The implied mean is large relative to a small-grant story and is still not a named Superfund site list. 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 $13,208,440.95) and the district share (10.6% of $6,577,843,124.15) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Ohio 12th District and Environmental Protection Agency if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much EPA spending is coded to Ohio 12th District (OH-12)?

USAspending.gov lists $700,047,370.35 in Environmental Protection Agency obligations across 53 awards with place of performance in Ohio 12th District (OH-12). Agency 068 × OH-12 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Ohio’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 10.6% of the district’s published total ($6,577,843,124.15). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $13,208,440.95, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $700,047,370.35 include every EPA program in OH-12?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split EPA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. $700,047,370.35 is the combined obligation sum for agency 068 inside OH-12 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Environmental Protection Agency and Ohio 12th District to inspect parent tables. 53 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $700,047,370.35 cash already paid in Ohio 12th District (OH-12)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $700,047,370.35 as checks already cleared in Ohio 12th District (OH-12) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 53 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $13,208,440.95 not a typical award?

The average is $700,047,370.35 divided by 53 awards, about $13,208,440.95. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
