Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in Colorado
Federal Communications Commission shows $1,088,733,068.20 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Colorado, across 4,784 awards. Awarding-agency 027 and Colorado (CO) are the pair. 4,784 awards against $1,088,733,068.20 is a 4,784-award communications file, thicker than Montana’s FCC join in this slice. The implied mean is about $227,577.98 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

- Federal Communications Commission obligated $1,088,733,068.20 in Colorado across 4,784 awards (USAspending.gov).
- The pair is awarding-agency 027 × place-of-performance CO.
- Amounts are obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is in this packet.
- The implied mean near $227,577.98 is $1,088,733,068.20 divided by 4784, not a typical award.
- The join does not name contractors and does not measure broadcast licenses, tower counts, or named broadband providers.
Commission 027 meeting Colorado
Federal Communications Commission as awarding agency, Colorado as place-of-performance: 4,784 records summing to $1,088,733,068.20. A Federal Communications Commission award coded outside CO is out. An award in Colorado from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Colorado (CO) excludes Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas, and Nebraska. A Denver-coded award with a Wyoming place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
4,784 awards against $1,088,733,068.20 is a 4,784-award communications file, thicker than Montana’s FCC join in this slice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 4784 as 4784 unique broadcast licenses, tower counts, or named broadband providers. Federal Communications Commission in Colorado is the both-keys table. Colorado federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Federal Communications Commission is the agency book without an CO filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Row count is not a census of unique companies. Unique recipients are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Colorado did not cause $1,088,733,068.20 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 027 × CO only.
A thick FCC file is not a carrier roster
$1,088,733,068.20 does not measure broadcast licenses, tower counts, or named broadband providers. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 027 and an CO place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 4784 awards as a census of broadcast licenses, tower counts, or named broadband providers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Colorado federal spending or Federal Communications Commission matched $1,088,733,068.20 and 4784, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state FCC joins are other pairs, not addends.
Colorado statewide, not a Front Range list
Place of performance CO is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Colorado (CO) excludes Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas, and Nebraska. A Denver-coded award with a Wyoming place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not split $1,088,733,068.20 by city, county, or named facility. 4784 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
Four thousand seven hundred eighty-four obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,088,733,068.20 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Colorado confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Colorado’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 4,784 awards 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 $1,088,733,068.20. Sharing a geography with Federal Communications Commission does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
Citing the FCC in Colorado
Cite USAspending.gov: Federal Communications Commission (agency 027) obligated $1,088,733,068.20 on 4,784 awards coded to Colorado. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as broadcast licenses, tower counts, or named broadband providers.
Prefer Federal Communications Commission in Colorado if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Colorado federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to CO. Federal Communications Commission is the 027 parent without the CO filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,088,733,068.20.
A usable footnote names Federal Communications Commission, Colorado, $1,088,733,068.20, and 4784. The compact headline $1.09B is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $227,577.98 is $1,088,733,068.20 divided by 4784. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
A thick Front Range FCC file still names no carriers
Colorado’s FCC overlay is 4784 awards totaling $1,088,733,068.20, thicker than Montana’s FCC join. Do not add CNCS or EPA Colorado dollars into this cell. Those are awarding-agency 485 and 068, not 027.
