The FY2027 President's Budget requests — for Cost Collection, within Commerce's Working Capital Fund account.
Commerce discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Commerce's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Finally, the WCF contains a Cost Collection account that aggregates funding for non-severable projects that are funded from more than one source where employees working on these projects cannot reasonably divide their salaries among multiple sources of funding.
Extracted from Census Bureau, p. 133. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
Ask this budget line
Answers come from the figures on this page and nothing else. These dollars are parsed from Commerce's Congressional Justification and are approximate — confirm anything that matters against the cited page.
