Federal Communications Commission in Michigan

A high-volume FCC tape in Michigan

This page is a join of two USAspending.gov fields: awarding agency Federal Communications Commission (code 027) and place-of-performance Michigan. The extract sums to $1,747,736,468.48 on 8,726 awards. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not show that Federal Communications Commission spending caused Michigan outcomes, or that Michigan caused the federal award book.

The pair is not a Michigan broadband-availability ranking or an auto-industry connectivity score. Correlation of an agency label with a state code is not causation. Place-of-performance can follow a rural carrier, a tribal or cooperative provider, or an administrative address in Lansing or Detroit. Work tagged to Michigan can involve parties elsewhere, and Michigan work can be coded to another state.

FCC coverage maps and state broadband-office dashboards are other products. Mixing any of those series with $1,747,736,468.48 leaves the USAspending award file. The 8,726 figure counts award records, including modifications present in the extract, not unique people, firms, or facilities.

Eight thousand seven hundred awards under $1.75 billion

Eight thousand seven hundred twenty-six awards under a $1.75 billion book is the busiest FCC tape in this slice. Dividing $1,747,736,468.48 by 8,726 awards yields an implied mean near $200,291. That quotient is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical award size and not a median. A few large vehicles can pull the average while many smaller rows sit below it.

Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both 8,726 and $1,747,736,468.48. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $200,291 as a product schedule or a beneficiary payment.

Later ingests can revise $1,747,736,468.48 and 8,726. This prose is a packet snapshot. The overlay is the live table. If those two disagree, use the overlay. Keep the obligation label so the cell is not read as cash already paid in Michigan.
