Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in Maryland
Awarding-agency 027 and place-of-performance MD join at $426,617,716.91 across 2,261 awards on USAspending.gov. Federal Communications Commission is the awarding-agency label; Maryland is the geography tag. 2,261 awards against $426,617,716.91 is a 2,261-award communications file, many rows against a nine-figure sum. The implied mean is about $188,685.41 per award — arithmetic on two packet facts, not a typical project size. Cite obligations, not outlays. The overlay is a catalog intersection, not a budget vote.

Commission 027 overlapping Maryland
027 × MD is the pair. Federal Communications Commission obligations with a Maryland place-of-performance tag sum to $426,617,716.91 on 2,261 awards. A FCC award in a neighboring state is a different join. Maryland (MD) excludes Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. A Baltimore-coded award with a Pennsylvania place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
Do not inflate 2261 into a roster of license counts, tower inventories, or named carriers. Unique recipients are unpublished. 2,261 awards against $426,617,716.91 is a 2,261-award communications file, many rows against a nine-figure sum. Use Federal Communications Commission in Maryland when both keys must stay on, Maryland federal spending for all Maryland awarding agencies, Federal Communications Commission for Federal Communications Commission nationwide, and All spending ties for other pairs.
Universal-service folklore is unpublished. Unique providers are unpublished. Do not invent them. Do not treat the pair as a verdict on Maryland or on Federal Communications Commission. Correlation is not causation. The join is awarding-agency 027 × MD only.
Spectrum folklore is not a USAspending field
$426,617,716.91 does not measure license counts, tower inventories, or named carriers. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 027 and an MD place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 2261 awards as a census of license counts, tower inventories, or named carriers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Maryland federal spending or Federal Communications Commission matched $426,617,716.91 and 2261, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state FCC joins are other pairs, not addends.
Maryland, not a Beltway-only map
Do not shrink Maryland to one metro because a well-known city sits inside MD. Maryland (MD) excludes Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. A Baltimore-coded award with a Pennsylvania place-of-performance tag is a different cell. The geography key remains the state tag.
This packet does not split $426,617,716.91 by city, county, or named facility. 2261 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
Two thousand two hundred sixty-one obligations
The source note on this packet is explicit: obligations are not outlays. $426,617,716.91 can include amounts still scheduled. Mixing the two in Maryland leaves this extract. Deobligations cut the total; upward adjustments raise it.
Maryland’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 2,261 awards 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 $426,617,716.91. Sharing a geography with Federal Communications Commission does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
Citing the FCC in Maryland
Cite USAspending.gov: Federal Communications Commission (agency 027) obligated $426,617,716.91 on 2,261 awards coded to Maryland. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as license counts, tower inventories, or named carriers.
Prefer Federal Communications Commission in Maryland if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Maryland federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MD. Federal Communications Commission is the 027 parent without the MD filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $426,617,716.91.
A usable footnote names Federal Communications Commission, Maryland, $426,617,716.91, and 2261. The compact headline $426.6M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $188,685.41 is $426,617,716.91 divided by 2261. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
