Appropriations Notes

Supplemental appropriations through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) are not specified by year, instead a topline number for all Section 40803 activities in DOI is appropriated and DOI has the discretion to allocate annual supplemental appropriations between programs. DOI is appropriated $327 million in FY2022 and $182 million annually FY2023-2026. This database estimates annual program-level appropriations as a percentage of total annual appropriations. This does not directly align with DOI allocations.
