Federal Trade Commission federal obligations in District of Columbia

Commission 029 meeting the District

Federal Trade Commission as awarding agency, District of Columbia as place-of-performance: 702 awards summing to $529,714,722.63. A Federal Trade Commission award coded outside DC is out. An award in District of Columbia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. District of Columbia (DC) excludes Maryland and Virginia. A District-coded award with a Virginia place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

702 awards against $529,714,722.63 is a 702-award trade-commission file, not a docket census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 702 as 702 unique enforcement actions, consumer-complaint counts, or named defendants. Federal Trade Commission in District of Columbia is the both-keys table. District of Columbia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Federal Trade Commission is the agency book without a DC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

The FTC overlay is awarding-agency 029, not FCC 027. The District FCC page in this slice is a different pair. Unique defendants are unpublished. Do not invent them. Correlation is not causation: District of Columbia did not cause $529,714,722.63 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 029 × DC only.

FTC dollars are not a case count

$529,714,722.63 does not measure enforcement actions, consumer-complaint counts, or named defendants. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 029 and an DC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 702 awards as a census of enforcement actions, consumer-complaint counts, or named defendants. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If District of Columbia federal spending or Federal Trade Commission matched $529,714,722.63 and 702, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state FTC joins are other pairs, not addends.

District of Columbia, not a Maryland add-on

Place of performance DC is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. District of Columbia (DC) excludes Maryland and Virginia. A District-coded award with a Virginia place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $529,714,722.63 by city, county, or named facility. 702 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Seven hundred two obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $529,714,722.63 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in District of Columbia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

District of Columbia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 702 awards 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 $529,714,722.63.

Citing the FTC in the District

Cite USAspending.gov: Federal Trade Commission (agency 029) obligated $529,714,722.63 on 702 awards coded to District of Columbia. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as enforcement actions, consumer-complaint counts, or named defendants.

Prefer Federal Trade Commission in District of Columbia if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. District of Columbia federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to DC. Federal Trade Commission is the 029 parent without the DC filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $529,714,722.63.

A usable footnote names Federal Trade Commission, District of Columbia, $529,714,722.63, and 702. The compact headline $529.7M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $754,579.38 is $529,714,722.63 divided by 702. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
