Office for Coastal Management federal funding in the District of Columbia

Why a coastal CFDA can show a District of Columbia place of performance

This page joins CFDA 11.473, OFFICE FOR COASTAL MANAGEMENT, with District of Columbia as the recorded place of performance. USAspending location fields can follow the recipient’s address, a federal office, or a project site. The packet does not say which of those drove DC on these 23 awards. Readers should not infer that $731,237,492 was spent on District shoreline restoration, because the extract never measures shoreline. The join reports tagged obligations: $731,237,492 on 23 awards.

Coastal-management work funded from a DC-coded award can still occur in other states after subawards or partnerships. That possibility is a reminder, not a hidden dollar split — this packet has no subaward table. Conversely, coastal states’ own 11.473 joins are separate pages. Mixing DC’s $731,237,492 with a Maryland or Virginia coastal total would invent a Chesapeake share the file does not compute. Correlation between a DC location code and coastal outcomes elsewhere is not causation. The extract reports tagged obligations only: $731,237,492 on 23 awards with District of Columbia as the location field.

23 awards at a high average commitment

Twenty-three awards against $731,237,492 implies a mechanical mean near $31.79 million per award if the dollars were even. That ratio is not a published grant size. A small number of cooperative agreements or intra-governmental awards can dominate a headquarters-coded listing. Award count is still a row count, including possible modifications. It is not a count of coastal programs, NOAA offices, or miles of shore.

Because 23 is a short list, the overlay is scannable. The packet still does not name recipients in these facts. Open the District of Columbia 11.473 overlay for the lines behind the total. Do not treat 23 as a census of coastal states served from DC. The $731,237,492 figure stays a tagged obligation sum, not a shoreline ledger for the District.

Commitments on 11.473, not NOAA’s full budget

The $731,237,492 figure is an obligation sum on assistance awards tagged 11.473 with DC place of performance. It is not the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s entire budget, not a fisheries total, and not an outlay dashboard. Other Commerce or NOAA listings are outside this join. No fiscal year is attached; the extract is the indexed rollup, not a single appropriations act.

Obligation versus outlay still applies. Headquarters-coded awards can obligate in DC and disburse on a different schedule than field work. This packet stores commitments only. If another document cites coastal-zone management grants by state, check whether that source uses a different CFDA, a different location field, or outlays instead of obligations.

What the DC coastal-management join omits

The extract has no list of coastal states served, no habitat acres, and no staff headcount. It does not split intramural from extramural awards. Facts on hand remain $731,237,492, 23 awards, CFDA 11.473, and District of Columbia. This page will not invent a shoreline inventory for the District or a pass-through percentage to other jurisdictions.

District of Columbia federal spending and District of Columbia programs place 11.473 among other DC-coded listings. CFDA 11.473 is the national program page. All spending ties holds other CFDA × state pairs, including true coastal states, each on their own obligation totals. Those pages are siblings, not a ranking of which coast received more. This DC join remains $731,237,492, 23 awards, and CFDA 11.473 as coded to the District.

Tables for the 11.473 × DC pair

Open Office for Coastal Management in District of Columbia for the 23-award table behind $731,237,492. CFDA 11.473 is the catalog line. District of Columbia federal spending and District of Columbia programs give jurisdiction context. All spending ties is the index of other program-by-place joins. Location codes are not proof of where every coastal activity occurred. The $731,237,492 figure is the tagged pair only.

Questions

How much Office for Coastal Management funding is obligated in DC?

USAspending.gov shows $731,237,492 in obligations for CFDA 11.473 with District of Columbia as place of performance, across 23 awards. Place of performance is a coding field and can follow an office address. The sum is commitments, not outlays, and not a District shoreline budget.

Does DC place of performance mean the money stayed in the District?

Not necessarily. USAspending location fields can follow recipient address, a federal office, or a project site. The packet does not say which applied to these 23 awards. Subawards to coastal states are not in this extract. $731,237,492 is the tagged obligation total only.

Is this NOAA’s entire coastal budget?

No. The join is CFDA 11.473 crossed with District of Columbia place of performance. Other Commerce and NOAA listings are outside $731,237,492 unless they also carry 11.473. The packet does not name an awarding-office split or a fiscal year.

How many awards does the DC coastal-management join include?

The extract lists 23 awards. That is a row count, not a count of coastal states, NOAA offices, or shoreline miles. Mean dollars per award are a mechanical ratio if the $731,237,492 were even, not a published grant size. See the DC 11.473 overlay for named lines.
