Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in Massachusetts

Commission 027 overlapping Massachusetts

This page is a JOIN of two keys: Federal Communications Commission on the agency side and Massachusetts on the state side. The packet stores $389,284,298.77 and 3,980 awards. Records coded to another state, or to another awarding agency inside Massachusetts, belong on other overlays. Massachusetts (MA) excludes New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and Vermont. A Boston-coded award with a New Hampshire place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

The row count 3980 can include continuations and modifications. It is not 3980 unique broadcast licenses, named ISPs, or tower inventories. 3,980 awards against $389,284,298.77 is a 3,980-award communications file, thicker than Maryland’s FCC join in this slice. Federal Communications Commission in Massachusetts is the overlay for this pair. Massachusetts federal spending remains the statewide hub. Federal Communications Commission remains the agency parent. All spending ties lists other joins.

Universal-service folklore is unpublished. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent them. A large or small state population is not in this packet and does not explain $389,284,298.77. Correlation is not causation. Stay on 027 × MA.

A thick FCC file is not a license census

$389,284,298.77 does not measure broadcast licenses, named ISPs, or tower inventories. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 027 and an MA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 3980 awards as a census of broadcast licenses, named ISPs, or tower inventories. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Massachusetts federal spending or Federal Communications Commission matched $389,284,298.77 and 3980, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state FCC joins are other pairs, not addends.

Massachusetts, not a Route 128-only map

Statewide means statewide: this packet does not publish a city split. Massachusetts (MA) excludes New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and Vermont. A Boston-coded award with a New Hampshire place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from the place-of-performance tag.

This packet does not split $389,284,298.77 by city, county, or named facility. 3980 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Three thousand nine hundred eighty obligations

An obligation can sit on the books before cash moves. Treating $389,284,298.77 as money already spent in Massachusetts relabels the series. Deobligations and upward adjustments both change the total. Outlays are a different concept.

Massachusetts’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 3,980 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 $389,284,298.77. Sharing a geography with Federal Communications Commission does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing the FCC in Massachusetts

Cite USAspending.gov: Federal Communications Commission (agency 027) obligated $389,284,298.77 on 3,980 awards coded to Massachusetts. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as broadcast licenses, named ISPs, or tower inventories.

Prefer Federal Communications Commission in Massachusetts if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Massachusetts federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MA. Federal Communications Commission is the 027 parent without the MA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $389,284,298.77.

A usable footnote names Federal Communications Commission, Massachusetts, $389,284,298.77, and 3980. The compact headline $389.3M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $97,810.13 is $389,284,298.77 divided by 3980. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
