Essential Air Service, not airport improvement

Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) is a different DOT catalog. Mixing 20.901 and 20.106 in Nebraska would invent a combined EAS-and-AIP book. Mixing those series into $137,569,061 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Nebraska, CFDA 20.901, $137,569,061, 38 awards. Carrier names, community lists, and route labels are unpublished.

The catalog title names Payments For Essential Air Services, not a ranking of Nebraska airports. Dividing $137,569,061 by 38 yields about $3.62 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 38 is not a community, carrier, or named-route census.

Nebraska geography on the EAS tag

NE is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Lincoln, Grand Island, or Scottsbluff can share the tag. Awards coded to Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Missouri stay outside $137,569,061 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $137.6 million into an EAS-route atlas.

Nebraska federal spending is the all-program parent. 20.901 is one row on Nebraska programs. $137.6 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Payments For Essential Air Services in Nebraska for the filtered table, CFDA 20.901 for the catalog without a Nebraska filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $137,569,061.

Thirty-eight awards and a mid-seven-figure mean

$137,569,061 ÷ 38 is about $3.62 million per award. That average is a mid-seven-figure mean, not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 38 as a record count, not as 38 unique communities or 38 named carriers.

Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 38 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $137,569,061 without changing the join key of 20.901 and NE. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $137,569,061 is the net total supplied in the facts. The pair remains Essential Air Service plus Nebraska. Do not treat $137,569,061 as an outlay series.

What Nebraska Essential Air Service does not prove

A large 20.901 total tagged to Nebraska does not measure whether Nebraska enplanements rose, and it does not equal flights already operated. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $137,569,061 on 38 awards for Essential Air Service in Nebraska.
