OBJECT CODES AND PROGRAM IDENTIFICATION CODES

OBJECT CODES AND
PROGRAM IDENTIFICATION CODES

All CFFR data on Federal Government expenditure are classified by broad object category, in accordance with the CFFR Act. These also correspond, in general, to the classification used in the annual Federal Budget.

The object code assigned to each data record submitted for the CFFR consisted of two alphabetic characters used to designate the broad object category of Federal expenditure to which each data record belonged. Following is a listing of the object codes used and the expenditure category represented by each:

Object Code Category

DR	Direct Payments for Individuals (Retirement and Disability only)
DO	Direct Payments for Individuals (Other than Retirement and Disability)
DX	Direct Payments Other than for Individuals
GG	Grants (Block, Grants, Formula Grants, Project Grants and Cooperative Agreements)
PC	Procurement Contracts
SW	Salaries and Wages
DL	Direct Loans
GL	Guaranteed/Insured Loans
II	Insurance

Since much of the CFFR data were also available by program, all data were assigned a program identification code. Detailed program identification is available for most data on grants, direct payments, loans and insurance. Salaries and procurement data, on the other hand, were generally not available by Federal program. Instead, these object categories are broken down into subcategories for the Department of Defense and selected other agencies. Each subcategory is treated as if it were a separate Federal program.

The program identification code format was patterned after the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) program number. This is a six-character number, the first two characters of which identify the Federal department or agency that administers the program, followed by a decimal and three numeric characters. The CFDA program number was used as the program identification code for most data taken from the Federal Assistance Award Data System (FAADS). However, if a CFDA program number does not exist, a pseudo CFDA code was assigned by the agency submitting the data. This pseudo code consists of two numeric characters (representing the agency prefix in the CFDA), followed by a decimal and three alphabetic characters.

For all other CFFR data submissions, a unique six-character alpha-numeric pseudo program identification code was assigned by the Census Bureau. The first two characters of this code are alphabetic, followed by a decimal and three numeric characters.

Pseudo program identification codes and their associated program titles for which data were included in the Consolidated Federal Funds Report are listed below. It should be noted that for the programs listed, the CFFR object codes will correspond to the first two characters of the pseudo program identification code.
