The accompanying schedule summarizes the federal expenditures of the Commission under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 2022. The amounts reported as federal expenditures were obtained from the Commissions general ledger. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Commission, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position and changes in net position of the Commission.For purposes of the schedule, federal awards include all grants, contracts, and similar agreements entered into directly with the federal government and other pass through entities. The Commission has obtained assistance listing numbers to ensure that all programs have been identified in the schedule. Assistance listing numbers have been appropriately listed by applicable programs. Federal programs with different assistance listing numbers that are closely related because they share common compliance requirements are defined as a cluster by the Uniform Guidance. Three clusters are separately identified in the schedule and are the following:Aging Cluster: This cluster includes awards that assist agencies on aging in facilitating the development and implementation of a comprehensive, coordinated system for providing long-term care in home and community-based settings, in a manner responsive to the needs and preferences of older individuals and their family caregivers.SNAP Cluster: This cluster includes awards that help low-income households buy the food they need for good health. Highway Planning and Construction Cluster: This cluster includes awards that assist agencies in the planning and development of an integrated, interconnected transportation system important to interstate commerce and travel by constructing, rehabilitating and preserving the National Highway System; to provide aid for the repair of Federal-aid highways following disasters; fosters safe highway design and to improve bridge conditions; to support community-level transportation infrastructure; and to provide for other special purposes.
