Federal Trade Commission federal obligations in FY2024

FTC agency 029 joined to fiscal year 2024

This page is a join: Federal Trade Commission (agency 029) and FY2024. $450,733,978.07 is the obligation sum on that pair. It is not the government-wide FY2024 total on FY2024 federal spending, not every agency’s book on All agencies, and not cash already paid. FY2024 is a closed fiscal year in the yearlyTrend series used here; later ingests can still restate the cell. Correlation is not causation: a large FY2024 cell does not prove the agency caused a policy outcome, or the reverse.

FY2024 yearlyTrend is the fiscal-year obligation sum. A FY2025 FTC join is a separate pair. Filing dates on public dockets are not this time key. Federal Trade Commission is the agency parent without a year filter. FY2024 federal spending is the fiscal-year parent without this agency filter. All spending ties lists other pairs. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Federal Trade Commission as awarding agency

Agency 029 is the Federal Trade Commission. The code marks awarding agency, not defendants, merging parties, or advertising targets. This packet names none of them. Confusing this join with DOJ Antitrust Division totals or a consumer-complaint index would be a different table. Packet facts on the agency side are the name Federal Trade Commission, code 029, all-year obligations $630,178,065.48, and 967 awards. Any other recipient, program mix, or contractor list would be invented.

Readers sometimes treat an awarding-agency total as a budget Congress passed for a named activity. $450,733,978.07 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation rollup tagged to Federal Trade Commission in FY2024. Case captions and redress totals are other publications. Cite Federal Trade Commission and FY2024 together. Do not invent contractors or law-firm recipients.

FY2024 competition-year dollars, not a case docket

Fiscal year 2024 is the yearlyTrend year key. It is not a calendar year and not a count of events the agency oversees. Awards that carry a different year sit outside this cell even if the awarding agency is still 029. FY2024 obligations of $450,733,978.07 are about 71.5% of the agency’s $630,178,065.48 all-year obligation total in this extract. Do not treat the all-year $630,178,065.48 as if it were the FY2024 headline.

FY2024 federal spending shows how Federal Trade Commission sits beside other awarding agencies in the same fiscal year. This packet has no outlay total, no recipient roster, and no NAICS split. All agencies is the directory of awarding agencies.

How FY2024 sits inside the FTC all-year total

The extract lists 967 awards on the Federal Trade Commission table. That is an agency-level award-record count, not a FY2024-only census published on this packet. Dividing $450,733,978.07 by 967 would mix a year cell with an all-year row count, so this page does not treat that quotient as a typical FY2024 invoice. Unique vendors are unpublished.

Merger and consumer-redress claims the extract omits

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $450,733,978.07 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared in FY2024 over-reads the field. The join cannot say that FY2024 specialized in the agency’s mission because of federal demand. Keep $450,733,978.07 labeled as Federal Trade Commission obligations in FY2024. It is not a merger-challenge ranking, a consumer-redress census, or a docket count.
