NOTES: If an agency has no earmarks it is not included in the table below. The dollar amount of earmarks may not add up due to rounding. Number and dollar amount of earmarks represent the best possible estimates collected by the Federal agencies in the table below. In the status column, a status of "certified" indicates that the agency head or his or her designee has certified that the data the agency has submitted is the fullest possible disclosure of earmarks according to guidance. The District of Columbia is not a Federal agency and is not required to certify earmark totals.
