EPA obligations in Pennsylvania 15th District (PA-15)

Environmental Protection Agency and Pennsylvania 15th District (PA-15) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 068 and congressional district PA-15 meet here. $913,025,595.99 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 Pennsylvania 15th District (PA-15), 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $913,025,595.99 by 62 yields about $14,726,219.29 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. The implied mean is large relative to a small-grant story and is still not a named Superfund site list. Do not treat PA-15’s 068 cell as a synonym for every EPA account nationwide. Open Pennsylvania 15th District for the district table without this agency filter, Environmental Protection Agency for agency 068 without a PA-15 filter, Pennsylvania federal spending for every awarding agency in the Pennsylvania extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $913,025,595.99.

How USAspending labels Environmental Protection Agency

USAspending labels awarding agency 068 as Environmental Protection Agency. That code produced $913,025,595.99 when crossed with Pennsylvania 15th District (PA-15) place of performance. The agency-wide 068 hub does not require PA-15 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: Pennsylvania 15th District (PA-15) did not “cause” $913,025,595.99 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 068 × PA-15 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.

Geography is PA-15, not a facility map

Pennsylvania 15th District (PA-15) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list PA-15 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Pennsylvania districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 068. Pennsylvania 15th District (PA-15) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Pennsylvania. Other Pennsylvania districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 068. Pennsylvania 15th District (PA-15) is a numbered place-of-performance geography inside Pennsylvania. Other Pennsylvania districts keep separate agency joins.

Pennsylvania federal spending shows how agency 068 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $913,025,595.99 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Pennsylvania 15th District (PA-15) 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 $8,982,875,837.56; $913,025,595.99 is the EPA slice of that denominator.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $913,025,595.99 is that kind of sum for Environmental Protection Agency inside PA-15 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 $913,025,595.99 as given.

Share, mean, and what they are not

62 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 $14,726,219.29) and the district share (10.2% of $8,982,875,837.56) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Pennsylvania 15th District and Environmental Protection Agency if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Pennsylvania 15th District (PA-15) 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 $913,025,595.99 and 62 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
