Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in Kentucky

What the FCC–Kentucky join is

Awarding agency 027 and place-of-performance state KY meet here. $708,875,223.19 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Federal Communications Commission's nationwide budget, not Kentucky's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Rural broadband, universal-service support, and tower-siting folklore and river-city and rural-county folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a census of households online.

5,559 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 Kentucky against other states and does not name carriers inside the extract.

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

5,559 FCC actions under one Kentucky filter

Dividing $708,875,223.19 by 5,559 yields about $127,518.48 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 Kentucky'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 Kentucky overlay is a different total

The agency-wide Federal Communications Commission page aggregates 027 without requiring KY geography. The Kentucky federal spending page aggregates all agencies with Kentucky place of performance. Only Federal Communications Commission in Kentucky applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 5,559 awards and $708,875,223.19.

Place of performance in Kentucky is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list KY while later network construction occurs in Ohio or Indiana. FCC awards coded to those places do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Louisville. This packet does not split Louisville from Lexington or Bowling Green.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $708,875,223.19 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 Kentucky over-reads the field.

Award count 5,559 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Kentucky–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 Kentucky does not mean the agency caused Kentucky's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between river-city and rural-county folklore and FCC awards is expected; it is not a finding about waste or program quality.

Keep $708,875,223.19 labeled as agency 027 obligations with Kentucky 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 Kentucky–FCC pair

A clean footnote names awarding agency 027 (Federal Communications Commission), Kentucky place of performance, $708,875,223.19 in obligations, and 5,559 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $708,875,223.19 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $127,518.48 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical universal-service award.

Federal Communications Commission in Kentucky, Kentucky federal spending, Federal Communications Commission, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $708,875,223.19 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Louisville-versus-Lexington 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.
