Administrative Conference of the U.S.

Administrative-law recommendations on a $158,920 ledger

ACUS studies federal administrative procedure and issues recommendations to agencies and Congress. None of those recommendation counts are in this packet. $158,920 is what the Conference obligated on federal awards through FY2026, carried on 2 awards. Dividing $158,920 by 2 yields $79,460 per award.

A two-row book is not ACUS’s full operating story. Research that staff perform in-house, member time, and costs paid outside USAspending never appear as these 2 instruments. The $158,920 is complete as an awarding-agency total for CGAC 302 in this extract; it is incomplete as a budget encyclopedia.

What two awards omit

The Federal Register, OIRA, and individual agency rulemaking budgets sit under other CGACs. Mixing them with $158,920 would treat ACUS as if it ran the administrative state. It does not. This page stays on awarding agency 302.

Conference staff salaries generally never appear as USAspending awards. Outlays on the 2 instruments are unpublished. Treat 158920 dollars as commitments, not as cash already paid.

Questions

How much has ACUS obligated on USAspending?

The Administrative Conference of the U.S. shows $158,920 in obligations through FY2026 across 2 awards. Awarding-agency CGAC 302 is the filter. The total is not a count of ACUS recommendations and not the federal rulemaking budget. USAspending.gov records this as awarding-agency obligations through FY2026, not cash outlays. The live table for CGAC 302 is the source for the current 2-award book.

What is the average ACUS award?

Dividing 158920 dollars by 2 awards yields $79,460. The packet has no median and no award IDs. A two-row book can change sharply if either instrument is modified. That figure uses only the packet totals. The extract has no median and no contract-versus-assistance split. FY2026 is the warehouse cutoff, not a single-year appropriation.

What is agency code 302?

302 is the USAspending awarding-agency CGAC identifier for the Administrative Conference of the U.S. SpendingVault uses it in /agencies/302/. OMB, OIRA, and individual departments use different codes. SpendingVault URLs under the agency path filter to that CGAC identifier. It is an accounting tag, not a quality score. Totals on this page are obligations through FY2026.

Is $158,920 the ACUS budget?

No. It is the USAspending awarding-agency obligation stock through FY2026. Staff pay and other non-award costs generally never appear. Outlays on the 2 awards are unpublished in the packet. Outlays are unpublished in this packet, so this page does not estimate cash already paid. Refresh the agency page after USAspending updates rather than treating the current stock as frozen.
