Each year, Congress appropriates funds for use by AoA and the
other Federal Agencies in carrying out their mission. AoA provides

applies on-line. It is a unique, nine-digit identification
number, which provides unique identifiers of single business
entities. The D-U-N-S number is free and easy to obtain.
