Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in Louisiana

Louisiana place of performance for Federal Communications Commission

Awarding agency 027 and place-of-performance state LA meet here. $714,940,924.95 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Federal Communications Commission's nationwide budget, not Louisiana's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Rural broadband, universal-service support, and tower-siting folklore and port, petrochemical-corridor, and Gulf folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a census of households online.

3,660 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 Louisiana against other states and does not name carriers inside the extract.

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

Award count 3,660 is a record count

Dividing $714,940,924.95 by 3,660 yields about $195,339.05 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 Louisiana'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-wide FCC versus this overlay

The agency-wide Federal Communications Commission page aggregates 027 without requiring LA geography. The Louisiana federal spending page aggregates all agencies with Louisiana place of performance. Only Federal Communications Commission in Louisiana applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 3,660 awards and $714,940,924.95.

Place of performance in Louisiana is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list LA while later network construction occurs in Texas or Mississippi. FCC awards coded to those places do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in New Orleans. This packet does not split New Orleans from Baton Rouge or Shreveport.

Outlays are a different column

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $714,940,924.95 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 Louisiana over-reads the field.

Award count 3,660 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Louisiana–FCC overlay. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

Do not treat port, petrochemical-corridor, and Gulf folklore as packet NAICS

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

Keep $714,940,924.95 labeled as agency 027 obligations with Louisiana 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.

Keep $714,940,924.95 labeled as a join

A clean footnote names awarding agency 027 (Federal Communications Commission), Louisiana place of performance, $714,940,924.95 in obligations, and 3,660 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $714,940,924.95 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $195,339.05 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical universal-service award.

Federal Communications Commission in Louisiana, Louisiana federal spending, Federal Communications Commission, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $714,940,924.95 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. New Orleans-versus-Baton Rouge 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.
