Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program in Alaska

Alaska x 11.029 is a tribal-broadband join, not a household census

This page pairs CFDA 11.029, TRIBAL BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM, with Alaska place of performance. The listing covers grants that support broadband deployment and adoption on tribal lands, not every Commerce broadband program and not FCC universal-service funds. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $487,887,493.30 on 46 awards. The extract does not list tribes, miles, or households. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state is more unserved, and not a claim that 46 awards equal 46 tribes.

Other Commerce listings — other broadband or digital-equity codes — sit outside $487,887,493.30 unless they also carry 11.029. Mixing tribal broadband with those codes would invent a combined connectivity figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and unserved-household maps is not causation. Household maps are not in the packet. Place of performance as Alaska locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $487,887,493.30 in tribal accounts.

46 awards behind $487.9 million

Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible modifications and multi-year vehicles. It is not a census of tribes, miles, or households. Mean obligation is about $10,606,250 if $487,887,493.30 were divided evenly across 46 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a typical grant size, and not a published cost per mile. The packet has no last-mile-versus-middle-mile split inside 11.029.

Forty-six lines are scannable on an overlay but still too many to narrate one by one. Sort the Alaska 11.029 overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program in Alaska for the stored table. Do not convert 46 into a map of Alaska fiber routes. The $487,887,493.30 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Questions

How much Tribal Broadband Connectivity funding is obligated in Alaska?

USAspending.gov shows $487,887,493.30 in obligations for CFDA 11.029 with Alaska as place of performance, across 46 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Alaska's full telecommunications budget. Other Commerce listings are outside this join unless they also carry 11.029.

Do 46 awards mean 46 Alaska tribes?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include modifications. It is not a tribe, mile, or household census. The packet does not name recipients. See the Alaska 11.029 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this Alaska's entire federal broadband funding?

No. The join is CFDA 11.029, Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program, crossed with Alaska place of performance. Other Commerce broadband codes and FCC funds use different listings. Those dollars are not inside $487,887,493.30 unless the award also carries 11.029.

Is $488 million already spent lighting Alaska fiber?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $487,887,493.30 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Construction draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
