BEAD broadband obligations in Arkansas

Arkansas BEAD as a single prime record

CFDA 11.035 is titled BROADBAND EQUITY, ACCESS, AND DEPLOYMENT PROGRAM. Filtered to Arkansas place of performance, obligations sum to $1,024,303,993.75 on 1 award. The national Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program hub includes every state. Arkansas's spending hub includes every program. This tie is the intersection. $1,024,303,993.75 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of fiber miles, unserved locations, or ISPs in Little Rock, Fayetteville, or Fort Smith.

BEAD state allocations typically post as a single large award to the designated state recipient. The join does not name recipients, split the Delta and the Ozarks, or count fiber miles, unserved locations, or ISPs. Packet facts stop at $1,024,303,993.75, 1 award, AR, and 11.035. Correlation is not causation.

11.035 is not High Cost USF in Arkansas

Universal Service Fund High Cost (CFDA 32.002) sits on other Catalog numbers. Mixing those dollars into $1,024,303,993.75 would invent a broader total than this 11.035 × AR cell contains. Facts available: Arkansas, CFDA 11.035, $1,024,303,993.75, 1 award. Recipient names, subawards, and fiber mile, unserved location, or ISP counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program, not a ranking of Arkansas outcomes. With one award, the implied mean equals $1,024,303,993.75. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1 is not a count of fiber miles, unserved locations, or ISPs.

Arkansas geography on the BEAD Broadband tag

AR is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Little Rock, Fayetteville, or Fort Smith can share the tag. Awards coded to Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, or Oklahoma stay outside $1,024,303,993.75 even when a metro, watershed, or service area approaches the border. Delta and Ozark unserved-location plans are not split in this AR-tagged cell. The code does not convert $1.02 billion into a fiber map.

Arkansas federal spending is the all-program parent. 11.035 is one row on Arkansas programs. $1.02 billion is not the state's complete federal footprint. Open Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program in Arkansas for the filtered table, CFDA 11.035 for 11.035 without a Arkansas filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,024,303,993.75.

Reading 1 award under $1.02 billion

One award under $1,024,303,993.75 implies a mean of $1,024,303,993.75. With a single row, mean and total are the same number. Draws and reimbursements can lag the federal obligation by years. The figure is still an obligation aggregate, not an outlay. Treat 1 as a record count in an aggregate, not as 1 finished BEAD allocation.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $1,024,303,993.75 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see whether the row is a continuation, renewal, or correction. Later ingests can restate $1,024,303,993.75 without changing the join key of 11.035 and AR.

What the BEAD Broadband–Arkansas pair does not prove

A large 11.035 total tagged to Arkansas does not measure whether unserved locations fell, and it does not equal miles built. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $1,024,303,993.75 on 1 award for Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program in Arkansas.

Keep both sides of the join: Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program and Arkansas, obligations only. Do not annualize $1,024,303,993.75 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 1 as a fiber mile, unserved location, or ISP census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a program story.
