Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in Indiana

USAspending.gov records $801,342,547.80 in Federal Communications Commission obligations coded to agency 027 with Indiana place of performance, across 6,742 awards. That pair is an awarding-agency filter crossed with a geography filter, not a national Federal Communications Commission budget. Average obligation per award is about $118,858.28 — a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical universal-service award.

Key figures

  • FCC (027) in Indiana: $801,342,547.80 across 6,742 awards.
  • Average obligation per award is about $118,858.28.
  • The total is obligations, not outlays, and not nationwide FCC.
  • IN is place of performance, not a Indianapolis-only split.

What the FCC–Indiana join is

Awarding agency 027 and place-of-performance state IN meet here. $801,342,547.80 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Federal Communications Commission's nationwide budget, not Indiana's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Rural broadband, universal-service support, and tower-siting folklore and auto-plant and Indianapolis-headquarters folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a census of households online.

6,742 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a very long award list beside a large obligation total. A long row list can mix small support payments with larger instruments. The join does not rank Indiana against other states and does not name carriers inside the extract.

Open Federal Communications Commission in Indiana for the filtered table, Indiana federal spending for the next hub, Federal Communications Commission for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

6,742 FCC actions under one Indiana filter

Dividing $801,342,547.80 by 6,742 yields about $118,858.28 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical universal-service award. A second FCC slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Indiana's 027 total as a synonym for every Federal Communications Commission bureau account.

Rural broadband, universal-service support, and tower-siting folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Agency names and recipient rows live on the overlay table, not in this narrative's extra columns.

Agency 027 without a Indiana overlay is a different total

The agency-wide Federal Communications Commission page aggregates 027 without requiring IN geography. The Indiana federal spending page aggregates all agencies with Indiana place of performance. Only Federal Communications Commission in Indiana applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 6,742 awards and $801,342,547.80.

Place of performance in Indiana is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list IN while later network construction occurs in Ohio or Illinois. FCC awards coded to those places do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Indianapolis. This packet does not split Indianapolis from Fort Wayne or Evansville.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $801,342,547.80 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Indiana over-reads the field.

Award count 6,742 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Indiana–FCC overlay. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

What this pair does not prove

A large FCC total in Indiana does not mean the agency caused Indiana's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between auto-plant and Indianapolis-headquarters folklore and FCC awards is expected; it is not a finding about waste or program quality.

Keep $801,342,547.80 labeled as agency 027 obligations with Indiana place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An agency name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.

How to cite the Indiana–FCC pair

A clean footnote names awarding agency 027 (Federal Communications Commission), Indiana place of performance, $801,342,547.80 in obligations, and 6,742 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $801,342,547.80 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $118,858.28 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical universal-service award.

Federal Communications Commission in Indiana, Indiana federal spending, Federal Communications Commission, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $801,342,547.80 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Indianapolis-versus-Fort Wayne folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Carriers names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.
