BEAD (CFDA 11.035) funding in Kentucky 1st District (KY-01)
USAspending.gov records $1,086,172,537 in Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program (CFDA 11.035) obligations with place of performance in Kentucky 1st District (KY-01), across 1 awards. One award carries the entire BEAD cell — a single-row file, not a roster of Kentucky ISPs. That pair is Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program and Kentucky 1st District (KY-01) — not Kentucky’s entire federal inflow, not Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 6.8% of this district’s published obligation total ($16,046,518,563.34). Implied average obligation is about $1,086,172,537 ($1,086,172,537 ÷ 1). Correlation is not causation.

What the BEAD–KY-01 join is
CFDA 11.035 and congressional district KY-01 meet here. $1,086,172,537 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Kentucky 1st District (KY-01), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split last-mile from middle-mile, and it does not name subgrantees or ISPs. 1 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a household broadband census, a fiber-mile inventory, or a named ISP roster.
Dividing $1,086,172,537 by 1 yields about $1,086,172,537 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a published cost per passing and not a typical subgrant. A one-award file with a billion-dollar implied mean is a concentration statistic, not a named subgrantee. Do not treat KY-01’s 11.035 cell as a synonym for every BEAD account nationwide. Open Kentucky 1st District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 11.035 for CFDA 11.035 without the KY-01 filter, Kentucky federal spending for every program in the Kentucky extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,086,172,537.
CFDA 11.035 as the BEAD side
USAspending labels CFDA 11.035 as Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program. That catalog number produced $1,086,172,537 when crossed with Kentucky 1st District (KY-01) place of performance. The program hub does not require KY-01 geography. The district hub does not require BEAD. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 1 awards. The packet does not split last-mile from middle-mile, and it does not name subgrantees or ISPs.
Correlation is not causation: Kentucky 1st District (KY-01) did not cause $1,086,172,537 by existing as a large or small place, and unserved locations figures are not packet facts. The join is 11.035 × KY-01 only. It is not a household broadband census, a fiber-mile inventory, or a named ISP roster. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
Kentucky 1st District (KY-01) as place of performance
Kentucky 1st District (KY-01) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list KY-01 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Kentucky districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 11.035. Kentucky 1st District (KY-01) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Kentucky. Other Kentucky districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 11.035. Kentucky 1st District (KY-01) is a numbered place-of-performance stamp in western Kentucky. Other Kentucky districts keep their own 11.035 cells.
Kentucky federal spending shows how CFDA 11.035 sits beside other programs in the same state extract. $1,086,172,537 is one district-program column, not the state table. This packet does not split Kentucky 1st District (KY-01) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different CFDA stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program. The district-wide obligation total published here is $16,046,518,563.34; $1,086,172,537 is the BEAD slice of that denominator.
Obligations, not outlays
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,086,172,537 is that kind of sum for Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program inside KY-01 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. This packet does not split assistance from contracts. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $1,086,172,537 as given. Treating $1,086,172,537 as households already connected confuses obligation with outlay.
Kentucky’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1-row BEAD cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 1 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors and not ISPs, counties, or households. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($1,086,172,537) is a concentration statistic, not a published cost per passing and not a typical subgrant. Title I on CFDA 84.010 also meets KY-01 on a separate tie. Those education dollars are not a BEAD subset.
How to cite BEAD in KY-01
Cite USAspending.gov: Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program (CFDA 11.035) obligated $1,086,172,537 on 1 awards coded to Kentucky 1st District (KY-01). Name Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program and Kentucky 1st District (KY-01) together. Keep the obligation word. If Kentucky 1st District or CFDA 11.035 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a household broadband census, a fiber-mile inventory, or a named ISP roster. 6.8% of $16,046,518,563.34 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. An ntia bead allocation table is a different series unless it uses CFDA 11.035, KY-01 geography, and the obligation metric.
Keep Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program, Kentucky 1st District (KY-01), $1,086,172,537, and 1 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. CFDA 11.035 is the 11.035 parent without a KY-01 filter. Kentucky federal spending is the Kentucky parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with BEAD does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join. The extract omits ISPs, fiber miles, or unserved-address counts.
Reading a thin BEAD file in KY-01
A one-award file with a billion-dollar implied mean is a concentration statistic, not a named subgrantee. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-recipient story tempting; the packet still does not name ISPs, fiber miles, or unserved-address counts. The implied mean (about $1,086,172,537) and the district share (6.8% of $16,046,518,563.34) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Kentucky 1st District and CFDA 11.035 if the live tables moved.
Questions
- How much BEAD spending is coded to Kentucky 1st District (KY-01)?
- USAspending.gov lists $1,086,172,537 in Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program obligations across 1 awards with place of performance in Kentucky 1st District (KY-01). CFDA 11.035 × KY-01 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Kentucky’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 6.8% of the district’s published total ($16,046,518,563.34). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1,086,172,537, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Do 1 awards mean 1 ISPs, counties, or households in KY-01?
- No. Award count is a row count of USAspending actions and can include continuations and modifications. It is not a count of ISPs, counties, or households. The packet does not name recipients. See Kentucky 1st District for named lines as USAspending stored them. The packet does not split last-mile from middle-mile, and it does not name subgrantees or ISPs.
- Is $1,086,172,537 cash already paid in Kentucky 1st District (KY-01)?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $1,086,172,537 as households already connected confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 1 awards. Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.
- Where is the live BEAD–KY-01 table?
- Kentucky 1st District is the district parent and CFDA 11.035 is the program parent. Kentucky federal spending covers Kentucky without the district×program intersection as the headline. All spending ties lists other pairs. Those hubs are not addends. Keep both sides of the join when citing $1,086,172,537. Place of performance is KY-01. Obligations are not outlays.
