Montana crossed with CFDA 20.901
The cell sums award obligations with CFDA 20.901 and a MT place-of-performance tag. $99,451,814.50 is that sum. It is not a ranking of Montana against other states. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; FEC donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.
Thirty-two awards is a thirty-two-record air-service file, thicker than Maine's and North Dakota's 20.901 overlays. The join does not name recipients. Packet facts are $99,451,814.50, 32 awards, MT, and 20.901. Correlation is not causation. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell.

Essential Air Service as a listing, not a carrier map
CFDA 20.901 is PAYMENTS FOR ESSENTIAL AIR SERVICES. Packet facts on the program side stop at the name Payments For Essential Air Services, the number 20.901, $99,451,814.50, and 32 awards. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names. Mixing this listing with Airport Improvement and other DOT catalogs that use different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total the packet never computed. PAYMENTS FOR ESSENTIAL AIR SERVICES is the catalog title. Thirty-two awards is a thirty-two-record air-service file, thicker than Maine's and North Dakota's 20.901 overlays. The join does not convert dollars into airports, carriers, or passengers. Neighbor-state Essential Air Service joins are other pairs.
Montana's Essential Air Service overlay is thirty-two awards totaling $99,451,814.50. Maine's twenty-award 20.901 cell and North Dakota's sixteen-award 20.901 cell in this harvest are other geography keys. Adding them invents a multi-state EAS book. Airport Improvement (20.106) in West Virginia is a different CFDA. The packet names no carriers. Quote CFDA 20.901 and Montana together.
Montana place of performance on 20.901
Place of performance in Montana is a USAspending geography field. Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, or Kalispell folklore may send a reader here; those stories are not a metro split in this packet. Awards can list MT while later work occurs elsewhere. Neighbor codes (Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the Canadian border as other keys) stay outside $99,451,814.50. Place of performance can differ from where a recipient is headquartered. This packet does not publish either split. Neighbor-state Essential Air Service joins are other pairs, not addends.
Montana federal spending is the all-program parent. 20.901 is one row on Montana programs. $99,451,814.50 is not the state's complete federal footprint. Open Payments For Essential Air Services in Montana for the filtered table, CFDA 20.901 for 20.901 without a Montana filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $99,451,814.50.
Thirty-two awards, not 32 named airports
32 is the award-record count. It is not 32 airports, carriers, or passengers. A mean of about $3,107,869.20 if $99,451,814.50 were divided evenly across 32 lines is arithmetic, not a typical payment. Unique vendors are unpublished. Treat thirty-two as a record count, not a unit census. A later USAspending ingest can restate both $99,451,814.50 and the 32-award count without changing the join keys. Agency splits are omitted from this packet. No fiscal year is in the facts, so none is cited here.
