na = not applicable; agency or subagency did not exist as such or in that organization in that year. NA = not available; data collected for this table were not recorded at that level in that particular fiscal year.
a The Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service changed its name to the National Institute of Food and Agriculture in FY 2008.
b In FY 2011, excepting the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Office of the Secretary of Defense began reporting for the agencies that had been presented under Department of Defense (DOD) agencies and activities and Operational Test and Evaluation, Director. These are now reported under Other defense agencies.
c The Minerals Management Service changed its name to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) in FY 2010. BOEMRE was split into the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement in FY 2012.
d Department of State data were excluded for FYs 2014–16 due to their poor quality.
e In January 2014, all Research and Innovative Technology Administration programs were transferred into the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology in the Office of the Secretary of Transportation.
NOTES: Because of rounding, detail may not add to total. Only those agencies and subdivisions that had obligations in variables represented by this table appear in the table. In FY 2006, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reclassified as operational costs funding for Space Operations, the Hubble Space Telescope, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, and the James Webb Space Telescope that previously had been reported as R&D plant. Between FY 2006 and FY 2007, NASA's R&D obligations decreased for two reasons: (1) in FY 2007, NASA excluded projects that were operational in nature that were not excluded in FY 2006, which accounts for $850 million of the decrease; and (2) there was an overall decrease in obligations between FY 2006 and FY 2007, which accounts for the remainder of the decrease. In FY 2010, NASA resumed reporting International Space Station (ISS) obligations as R&D plant. In FY 2012, NASA began reporting ISS obligations as research rather than R&D plant. In FY 2013, NASA revamped their reporting process so that the final data for FYs 2012–14 forward are not directly comparable with totals reported in previous years. See technical table A-2 for additional notes associated with the agencies listed in this table. FYs 2009 and 2010 obligations include additional funding provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
