The Assistance Listing Numbers (AL), formerly Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) numbers, are the publicly available listings of Federal assistance programs. The first two digits identify the federal department or agency that administers the program, and the last three numbers are assigned by numerical sequence.
