This figure was parsed from Federal Trade Comm's FY2027 Congressional Justification, not from a standard budget exhibit. It is approximate and it is not summable with other lines. It is published so you can check it: the citation below names the exact page it was read off. Where a dollar figure matters, verify it there before using it.

The FY2027 President's Budget requests $213.7M for Protecting Consumers, within Federal Trade Comm's Protecting Consumers account. That is up 0.2% on the FY2025 figure of $213.2M, which is the enacted appropriation.

From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Federal Trade Comm's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.

In the agency's own words

What this funds

Enforces consumer protection laws against unfair or deceptive acts and practices, pursuing investigations and litigation over fraud, scams, unlawful telemarketing, and online harms to children, and operating tools such as the Do Not Call Registry and Consumer Sentinel Network.

Extracted from Salaries and Expenses, p. 9. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
