Wildlife Restoration and hunter education in Alaska

What the 15.611–Alaska join is

CFDA 15.611 is titled WILDLIFE RESTORATION AND BASIC HUNTER EDUCATION AND SAFETY. Filtered to Alaska place of performance, obligations sum to $191,697,136.84 on 54 awards. The national 15.611 hub has no Alaska filter. The Alaska spending hub has no CFDA filter. This tie is the intersection. $191,697,136.84 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of hunters or acres restored.

Sport Fish Restoration and other Pittman-Robertson/Dingell-Johnson catalogs use different CFDA numbers. Mixing them into $191,697,136.84 would invent a broader fish-and-wildlife total than this cell contains. Packet facts are $191,697,136.84, 54 awards, AK, and 15.611. Correlation is not causation.

Fifty-four awards under Alaska wildlife restoration

Fifty-four awards against $191,697,136.84 yield a simple mean near $3.55 million. The facts do not publish a median, a range, or unique recipients. 54 is a record count in an aggregate, not 54 game-management units and not 54 hunter-education classes. A state fish-and-game agency can post multiple instruments across modifications.

Treat the mean as arithmetic, not as a typical project budget. Unique recipient names are unpublished and are not invented here. Downward modifications, if they exist in the raw file, are already netted into the total supplied in the facts. Do not annualize $191,697,136.84; this packet publishes no year field.

Alaska geography on the 15.611 tag

AK is the place-of-performance code. A statewide wildlife-restoration award can still appear as records tagged to Juneau, Anchorage, or another in-state address. Awards coded to Washington or other states stay outside $191,697,136.84 even when a migratory species uses those habitats.

Alaska federal spending is the all-program parent. 15.611 is one row on Alaska programs. $191.7 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Wildlife Restoration And Basic Hunter Education And Safety in Alaska for the filtered table, CFDA 15.611 for the catalog without an Alaska filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $191,697,136.84.

What wildlife restoration in Alaska does not prove

A large 15.611 total tagged to Alaska does not measure harvest, hunter numbers, or habitat acres. It does not equal invoices paid. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. The headline remains $191,697,136.84 on 54 awards for Wildlife Restoration And Basic Hunter Education And Safety in Alaska.

Keep both sides of the join: Wildlife Restoration And Basic Hunter Education And Safety and Alaska, obligations only. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a wildlife-management story. Contractor names are not in the facts.

Using the Alaska × 15.611 overlay

The pair is 15.611 plus AK. Obligations of $191,697,136.84 are not outlays. Cite Wildlife Restoration And Basic Hunter Education And Safety together with Alaska whenever you reuse $191,697,136.84. 54 remains an award-record count on USAspending.gov. The overlay path is the live table for this 15.611 × AK cell. Later bulk files can restate $191,697,136.84 without changing the join key. Place of performance remains Alaska; CFDA remains 15.611. Do not fold Sport Fish Restoration into $191,697,136.84. Do not treat 54 as a game-unit roster.
