federally

At government level

Federally means at the level of a national or central government, as opposed to state or local authority.

In the United States, federally often distinguishes national jurisdiction from state matters: federally funded programs, federally protected lands, a federally regulated industry.

Something done federally involves the central government's power or resources.
