Federal agencies by budget authority

Total budget authority available to the agency in the current fiscal year — what Congress has made available to spend, not what has been spent. Compare against obligations to see how much of it has actually been committed.

98 federal agencies report this measure and are ranked against each other — never against hospitals, school districts, public schools, which report different things entirely.
