Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in District of Columbia

Commission 027 meeting the District

Federal Communications Commission as awarding agency, District of Columbia as place-of-performance: 1,193 awards summing to $532,449,571.10. A Federal Communications Commission award coded outside DC is out. An award in District of Columbia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. District of Columbia (DC) excludes Maryland and Virginia, stored as other state keys. A District-coded award with a Maryland place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

1,193 awards against $532,449,571.10 is a 1,193-award communications file on the District, not a nationwide FCC budget. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,193 as 1,193 unique license counts, named carriers, or headquarters folklore. Federal Communications Commission in District of Columbia is the both-keys table. District of Columbia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Federal Communications Commission is the agency book without a DC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Place-of-performance DC is a geography tag, not proof that work occurred on the Mall. Maryland and Virginia FCC joins are other pairs, not addends. Correlation is not causation: District of Columbia did not cause $532,449,571.10 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 027 × DC only.

An FCC-DC cell is not a national license census

$532,449,571.10 does not measure license counts, named carriers, or headquarters folklore. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 027 and an DC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,193 awards as a census of license counts, named carriers, or headquarters folklore. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If District of Columbia federal spending or Federal Communications Commission matched $532,449,571.10 and 1,193, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state FCC joins are other pairs, not addends.

District of Columbia, not a Beltway rollup

Place of performance DC is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. District of Columbia (DC) excludes Maryland and Virginia, stored as other state keys. A District-coded award with a Maryland place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $532,449,571.10 by city, county, or named facility. 1,193 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

One thousand one hundred ninety-three obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $532,449,571.10 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in District of Columbia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

District of Columbia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,193 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 $532,449,571.10.

Citing the FCC in the District

Cite USAspending.gov: Federal Communications Commission (agency 027) obligated $532,449,571.10 on 1,193 awards coded to District of Columbia. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as license counts, named carriers, or headquarters folklore.

Prefer Federal Communications Commission in District of Columbia if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. District of Columbia federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to DC. Federal Communications Commission is the 027 parent without the DC filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $532,449,571.10.

A usable footnote names Federal Communications Commission, District of Columbia, $532,449,571.10, and 1,193. The compact headline $532.4M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $446,311.46 is $532,449,571.10 divided by 1,193. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
