A thicker High Cost file in Iowa

CFDA 32.002 is titled Universal Service Fund - High Cost. Iowa is the place-of-performance state. $1,019,550,209.97 sums obligations on records that carry both keys. Two hundred sixty-six awards is more than four times the instrument count on the Nebraska and Oklahoma 32.002 joins in this slice, while the dollar total stays in the same $1.0–$1.2 billion band. More rows under similar dollars pull the mean down. The packet does not explain why Iowa’s award file is thicker.

The Iowa hub totals every program. The national 32.002 hub totals every state. This tie is the overlap. Emergency Commodity Assistance (10.121) in Iowa is a separate USDA cell with a far higher award count and is not mixed into $1,019,550,209.97.

Two hundred sixty-six awards against $1,019,550,209.97 is the thick High Cost file in this three-state USF set. Nebraska and Oklahoma stay near 60 awards. Iowa’s lower mean near $3.83 million is the mechanical result of more rows under a similar billion-dollar band. Mechanical is the right word. It does not prove Iowa carriers received smaller support per company, because the packet does not publish company-level amounts.

High Cost remains one USF bucket

The catalog title is High Cost, not every Universal Service mechanism. Other USF CFDA numbers, if present, stay outside this cell. Packet facts are the obligation sum, 266 awards, state IA, and CFDA 32.002. No carrier roster and no unserved-census-block count are included.

USAspending stores the dollars as obligations on award rows tagged to Iowa. That is not an FCC docket and not a last-mile construction log. Place of performance can sit on a cooperative, a statewide stamp, or a company that also operates in neighboring states.
