Wildlife Restoration and Hunter Education in Montana

Montana and CFDA 15.611 as a pair

CFDA 15.611 is titled WILDLIFE RESTORATION AND BASIC HUNTER EDUCATION AND SAFETY. Crossed with Montana place of performance, obligations sum to $143,545,583.84 on 54 awards. The national 15.611 hub includes other states. Montana’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $143,545,583.84 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of Montana wildlife projects or hunter-ed classes.

fifty-four awards is a Pittman-Robertson-style assistance file with fifty-four instruments. The join does not name recipients. Packet facts are $143,545,583.84, 54 awards, MT, and 15.611. Correlation is not causation. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Keep Wildlife Restoration and Montana together when reading $143,545,583.84.

Wildlife restoration, not Fort Peck rural water

Fort Peck Reservation Rural Water System (CFDA 15.516) is a different Interior catalog. Mixing 15.611 and 15.516 in Montana would invent a combined wildlife-and-water book. Mixing those series into $143,545,583.84 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Montana, CFDA 15.611, $143,545,583.84, 54 awards. Project names, agency names, and class counts are unpublished.

The catalog title names Wildlife Restoration And Basic Hunter Education And Safety, not a ranking of Montana wildlife districts. Dividing $143,545,583.84 by 54 yields about $2.66 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 54 is not a project, hunter, or named-agency census.

Montana geography on the wildlife-restoration tag

MT is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Helena, Billings, or Missoula can share the tag. Awards coded to Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the Canadian-coded keys stored elsewhere stay outside $143,545,583.84 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $143.5 million into a habitat atlas.

Montana federal spending is the all-program parent. 15.611 is one row on Montana programs. $143.5 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Wildlife Restoration And Basic Hunter Education And Safety in Montana for the filtered table, CFDA 15.611 for the catalog without a Montana filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $143,545,583.84.

Fifty-four awards and a mid-seven-figure mean

$143,545,583.84 ÷ 54 is about $2.66 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 54 as a record count, not as 54 unique projects or 54 named classes.

Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 54 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $143,545,583.84 without changing the join key of 15.611 and MT. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $143,545,583.84 is the net total supplied in the facts. The pair remains Wildlife Restoration plus Montana. Do not treat $143,545,583.84 as an outlay series.

What Montana wildlife restoration does not prove

A large 15.611 total tagged to Montana does not measure whether Montana hunter numbers rose, and it does not equal habitat invoices already paid. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $143,545,583.84 on 54 awards for Wildlife Restoration in Montana.

Keep both sides of the join: Wildlife Restoration And Basic Hunter Education And Safety and Montana, obligations only. Do not annualize $143,545,583.84 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 54 as a project, hunter, or named-agency census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than an elk-herd narrative. Cite Wildlife Restoration together with Montana whenever you reuse $143,545,583.84.

Obligations of $143,545,583.84 are not outlays. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov for this 15.611 × MT pair. 54 remains an award-record count, not a person, facility, or project census. The official title pairs wildlife restoration with basic hunter education and safety under one CFDA. This overlay does not unbundle those strands.
