FCC awards tagged to Alabama

Federal Communications Commission as awarding agency, Alabama as place-of-performance: 4,306 records summing to $893,487,131.78. A Federal Communications Commission award coded outside AL is out. An award in Alabama from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Alabama (AL) excludes Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. A Pensacola-coded award is Florida even if the Gulf story sounds similar.

Four thousand three hundred six awards is a high-count FCC file. Recurring instruments can thicken a list without each row being a new radio licenses. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 4,306 as 4,306 unique radio licenses, unique towers, or a census of broadband grants as households. The overlay Federal Communications Commission in Alabama is the both-keys table. Alabama federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Federal Communications Commission is the agency book without an AL filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile share one AL stamp. FCC programs can share awarding-agency 027 without a published program pie. Correlation is not causation: Alabama did not cause $893,487,131.78 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 027 × AL only.

4,306 rows are not 4,306 towers

$893,487,131.78 does not measure radio licenses, unique towers, or a census of broadband grants as households. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 027 and an AL place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 4,306 awards as a census of radio licenses, unique towers, or a census of broadband grants as households. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Alabama federal spending or Federal Communications Commission matched $893,487,131.78 and 4,306, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state FCC joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $893,487,131.78 by 4,306 yields about $207,498.17 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical FCC line and not a published median.

Alabama, not a Gulf FCC rollup

Place of performance AL is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Alabama (AL) excludes Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. A Pensacola-coded award is Florida even if the Gulf story sounds similar. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile share one AL stamp. This packet does not split $893,487,131.78 by city, county, or named facility. 4,306 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

A long FCC list, still obligations

Even a thick file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $893,487,131.78 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Alabama confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Alabama's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 4,306-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $893,487,131.78.

What this pair does not prove

A large FCC total in Alabama does not mean the agency caused Alabama's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Keep $893,487,131.78 labeled as agency 027 obligations with Alabama place of performance. Neighbor FCC cells among Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi are separate joins. This page does not rank Alabama as a winner or loser.

Recipient names are unpublished in this packet. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to explain $893,487,131.78. Place-of-performance AL can differ from a vendor mailroom. A Pensacola-coded award is Florida even if the Gulf story sounds similar. A later ingest can restate $893,487,131.78 and 4,306 without changing the join definition: awarding agency 027 crossed with Alabama.

Citing FCC in Alabama

Cite USAspending.gov: Federal Communications Commission (agency 027) obligated $893,487,131.78 on 4,306 awards coded to Alabama. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as radio licenses, unique towers, or a census of broadband grants as households.

Prefer Federal Communications Commission in Alabama if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Alabama federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to AL. Federal Communications Commission is the 027 parent without the AL filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $893,487,131.78.

A usable footnote names Federal Communications Commission, Alabama, $893,487,131.78, and 4,306. The implied mean near $207,498.17 is $893,487,131.78 divided by 4,306. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset; they do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.
