Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in Georgia

FCC and Georgia as a coding pair

This page is a join of two USAspending.gov fields: awarding agency Federal Communications Commission (code 027) and place-of-performance Georgia. The extract sums to $1,403,296,334.10 on 5,317 awards. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not show that Federal Communications Commission spending caused Georgia outcomes, or that Georgia caused the federal award book.

The pair is not a Georgia broadband-availability ranking or a metro-Atlanta connectivity score. Correlation of an agency label with a state code is not causation. Place-of-performance can follow a carrier, a rural provider, or an administrative address in Atlanta. Work tagged to Georgia can involve parties elsewhere, and Georgia work can be coded to another state.

FCC coverage maps and state broadband-office dashboards are other products. Mixing any of those series with $1,403,296,334.10 leaves the USAspending award file. The 5,317 figure counts award records, including modifications present in the extract, not unique people, firms, or facilities.

Five thousand awards under $1.40 billion

Five thousand three hundred seventeen awards under a $1.40 billion book is a high-volume tape. Dividing $1,403,296,334.10 by 5,317 awards yields an implied mean near $263,926. That quotient is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical award size and not a median. A few large vehicles can pull the average while many smaller rows sit below it.

Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both 5,317 and $1,403,296,334.10. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $263,926 as a product schedule or a beneficiary payment.

Later ingests can revise $1,403,296,334.10 and 5,317. This prose is a packet snapshot. The overlay is the live table. If those two disagree, use the overlay. Keep the obligation label so the cell is not read as cash already paid in Georgia.

Georgia statewide versus FCC nationwide

Georgia’s all-agency hub stacks every awarding agency with performance coded to the state. $1,403,296,334.10 is only the Federal Communications Commission cell inside Georgia. The Federal Communications Commission national hub includes every state. This tie is the overlap, nothing more.

State budget documents in Georgia answer a different question. They are not the source of the 5,317 federal award records. If a chart mixes a General Fund table with this cell, the chart has left the USAspending.gov series.

A 5,317-row file with an implied mean near $263,926 fits many modest support actions. This packet does not split USF programs. Do not rank Georgia as more or less connected because $1,403,296,334.10 appears next to the state code. Award-file dollars are not coverage percentages.

Support obligations are still not cash

An obligation records a legal commitment on an award. An outlay records cash leaving the Treasury. $1,403,296,334.10 is the first series. Using it as a proxy for checks already issued in Georgia will misstate timing. SpendingVault does not convert this cell into cash.

Multi-year vehicles can remain open after the obligation posts. Cite the pair as agency 027 × Georgia, $1,403,296,334.10, 5,317 awards, obligations only.

Where the structured rows live

The Georgia × Federal Communications Commission overlay holds the structured rows behind 5,317 awards and $1,403,296,334.10. The Georgia state page and the Federal Communications Commission agency page are the parents. The ties index lists other state–agency pairs on the same obligation basis.

Those views do not add a program-code mix or a unique-recipient count this packet omits. They also do not convert $1,403,296,334.10 into outlays.

How to cite FCC in Georgia

Cite USAspending.gov: Federal Communications Commission (awarding agency 027) obligated $1,403,296,334.10 on 5,317 awards coded to Georgia. Keep both sides of the join. Do not drop Georgia and call the figure a national FCC total. Do not drop Federal Communications Commission and call it Georgia’s entire federal book.

The implied mean near $263,926 remains a ratio of two packet facts. Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a complete map of Georgia subcontractors. Do not convert the Georgia FCC cell into a coverage ranking.
