na = not applicable; agency or subagency did not exist as such or in that organization in that year. NA = not available; data were not collected at that level for that fiscal year.
a 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. Also beginning in FY 2011, Other defense agencies displays aggregated data of DOD subagencies engaged in classified R&D projects.
b Prior to FY 2012, data reported for the Administration for Community Living (ACL) was for the Administration on Aging, which was transferred to ACL when ACL was established on 18 April 2012. Several programs that serve older adults and people with disabilities were transferred from other agencies to ACL, including a number of programs from the Department of Education due to the 2014 Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act.
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 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 2010, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) resumed reporting International Space Station obligations as R&D plant. In FY 2013, NASA revamped its reporting process so that the data for FY 2012 forward are not directly comparable with totals reported in previous years. Beginning in FY 2011, DOD totals include additional classified R&D projects not previously reported by its subagencies. 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. Beginning with FY 2016, the totals reported for development obligations represent a refinement to this category by more narrowly defining it to be “experimental development.” Most notably, totals for development do not include the DOD Budget Activity 7 (Operational Systems Development) obligations. Those funds, previously included in DOD’s development obligation totals, support the development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full-rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year. Therefore, the data are not directly comparable with totals reported in previous years.
