Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council federal obligations in Texas

Council 471 overlapping Texas

Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council as awarding agency, Texas as place-of-performance: 6 records summing to $60,296,665.03. A Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council award coded outside TX is out. An award in Texas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Texas (TX) excludes Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and New Mexico. A Beaumont-coded award with a Louisiana place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

6 awards against $60,296,665.03 is a six-award restoration-council file, thin in records against a large dollar total. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 6 as 6 unique named restoration projects, acreage restored, or spill-year splits. Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council in Texas is the both-keys table. Texas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council is the agency book without an TX filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named restoration projects, acreage restored, and spill-year splits stay unpublished. Do not invent contractor names. Correlation is not causation: Texas did not cause $60,296,665.03 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 471 × TX only.

RESTORE dollars are not an acreage census

$60,296,665.03 does not measure named restoration projects, acreage restored, or spill-year splits. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 471 and an TX place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 6 awards as a census of named restoration projects, acreage restored, or spill-year splits. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Texas federal spending or Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council matched $60,296,665.03 and 6, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state RESTORE Council joins are other pairs, not addends.

Texas, not a Gulf-only folklore map

Place of performance TX is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Texas (TX) excludes Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and New Mexico. An El Paso-coded award with a New Mexico place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $60,296,665.03 by city, county, or named facility. 6 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Six obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $60,296,665.03 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Texas confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Texas’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 6 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 $60,296,665.03. Sharing a geography with Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing the Restoration Council in Texas

Cite USAspending.gov: Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (agency 471) obligated $60,296,665.03 on 6 awards coded to Texas. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named restoration projects, acreage restored, or spill-year splits.

Prefer Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council in Texas if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Texas federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to TX. Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council is the 471 parent without the TX filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $60,296,665.03.

A usable footnote names Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council, Texas, $60,296,665.03, and 6. The compact headline $60.3M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $10,049,444.17 is $60,296,665.03 divided by 6. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

A thin restoration-council cell

Texas’s RESTORE Council overlay is 6 awards totaling $60,296,665.03. Named restoration projects, acreage restored, and spill-year splits stay unpublished. Do not invent contractor names.

Unique recipients stay unpublished.
