The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.
| Series | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 | FY26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Actuals | $0 | – | $17.5M | ||
| Enacted | – | $0 | $18.1M | $18.3M | |
| Request | – | – | $18.1M | $18.3M | $18.6M |
blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $18.1M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $17.5M as actual total obligation authority — $636.0K below the request. 17.5 − 18.1 = -0.6 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Oversight
