Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in Kansas

A high-count FCC file on Kansas

Federal Communications Commission as awarding agency, Kansas as place-of-performance: 5,660 records summing to $911,811,318.89. A Federal Communications Commission award coded outside KS is out. An award in Kansas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Kansas (KS) excludes Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado. A Kansas City, Missouri-coded award is Missouri even if the metro story sounds similar.

Five thousand six hundred sixty 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 5,660 as 5,660 unique radio licenses, unique towers, or a census of broadband grants as households. The overlay Federal Communications Commission in Kansas is the both-keys table. Kansas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Federal Communications Commission is the agency book without an KS filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Wichita, Topeka, and Overland Park share one KS stamp. FCC programs can share awarding-agency 027 without a published program pie. Correlation is not causation: Kansas did not cause $911,811,318.89 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 027 × KS only.

5,660 rows are not 5,660 towers

$911,811,318.89 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 KS place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 5,660 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 Kansas federal spending or Federal Communications Commission matched $911,811,318.89 and 5,660, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state FCC joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $911,811,318.89 by 5,660 yields about $161,097.41 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical FCC line and not a published median.

Kansas, not a Plains spectrum rollup

Place of performance KS is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Kansas (KS) excludes Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado. A Kansas City, Missouri-coded award is Missouri even if the metro story sounds similar. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Wichita, Topeka, and Overland Park share one KS stamp. This packet does not split $911,811,318.89 by city, county, or named facility. 5,660 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Many FCC rows, still obligations

Even a thick file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $911,811,318.89 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Kansas confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Kansas's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 5,660-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 $911,811,318.89.

What this pair does not prove

A large FCC total in Kansas does not mean the agency caused Kansas's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Keep $911,811,318.89 labeled as agency 027 obligations with Kansas place of performance. Neighbor FCC cells among Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado are separate joins. This page does not rank Kansas as a winner or loser.

Recipient names are unpublished in this packet. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to explain $911,811,318.89. Place-of-performance KS can differ from a vendor mailroom. A Kansas City, Missouri-coded award is Missouri even if the metro story sounds similar. A later ingest can restate $911,811,318.89 and 5,660 without changing the join definition: awarding agency 027 crossed with Kansas.

Citing FCC in Kansas

Cite USAspending.gov: Federal Communications Commission (agency 027) obligated $911,811,318.89 on 5,660 awards coded to Kansas. 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 Kansas if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Kansas federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to KS. Federal Communications Commission is the 027 parent without the KS filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $911,811,318.89.

A usable footnote names Federal Communications Commission, Kansas, $911,811,318.89, and 5,660. The implied mean near $161,097.41 is $911,811,318.89 divided by 5,660. 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.
