Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in Michigan

A high-volume FCC tape in Michigan

This page is a join of two USAspending.gov fields: awarding agency Federal Communications Commission (code 027) and place-of-performance Michigan. The extract sums to $1,747,736,468.48 on 8,726 awards. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not show that Federal Communications Commission spending caused Michigan outcomes, or that Michigan caused the federal award book.

The pair is not a Michigan broadband-availability ranking or an auto-industry connectivity score. Correlation of an agency label with a state code is not causation. Place-of-performance can follow a rural carrier, a tribal or cooperative provider, or an administrative address in Lansing or Detroit. Work tagged to Michigan can involve parties elsewhere, and Michigan work can be coded to another state.

FCC coverage maps and state broadband-office dashboards are other products. Mixing any of those series with $1,747,736,468.48 leaves the USAspending award file. The 8,726 figure counts award records, including modifications present in the extract, not unique people, firms, or facilities.

Eight thousand seven hundred awards under $1.75 billion

Eight thousand seven hundred twenty-six awards under a $1.75 billion book is the busiest FCC tape in this slice. Dividing $1,747,736,468.48 by 8,726 awards yields an implied mean near $200,291. That quotient is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical award size and not a median. A few large vehicles can pull the average while many smaller rows sit below it.

Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both 8,726 and $1,747,736,468.48. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $200,291 as a product schedule or a beneficiary payment.

Later ingests can revise $1,747,736,468.48 and 8,726. This prose is a packet snapshot. The overlay is the live table. If those two disagree, use the overlay. Keep the obligation label so the cell is not read as cash already paid in Michigan.

Michigan statewide versus FCC nationwide

Michigan’s all-agency hub includes every awarding agency with performance in the state. $1,747,736,468.48 is only the Federal Communications Commission cell inside Michigan. The Federal Communications Commission national hub includes every state. This tie is the overlap, nothing more.

State budget documents in Michigan answer a different question. They are not the source of the 8,726 federal award records. If a chart mixes a General Fund table with this cell, the chart has left the USAspending.gov series.

A 8,726-row file with an implied mean near $200,291 is consistent with many modest support actions. This packet does not split USF programs. Do not rank Michigan as more or less connected because $1,747,736,468.48 appears next to the state code. Award-file dollars are not coverage percentages.

Support obligations are still not cash

An obligation records a legal commitment on an award. An outlay records cash leaving the Treasury. $1,747,736,468.48 is the first series. Using it as a proxy for checks already issued in Michigan will misstate timing. SpendingVault does not convert this cell into cash.

Multi-year vehicles can remain open after the obligation posts. Cite the pair as agency 027 × Michigan, $1,747,736,468.48, 8,726 awards, obligations only.

Reading the Michigan FCC overlay

The Michigan × Federal Communications Commission overlay holds the structured rows behind 8,726 awards and $1,747,736,468.48. The Michigan state page and the Federal Communications Commission agency page are the parents. The ties index lists other state–agency pairs on the same obligation basis.

Those views do not add a program-code mix or a unique-recipient count this packet omits. They also do not convert $1,747,736,468.48 into outlays.

How to cite FCC in Michigan

Cite USAspending.gov: Federal Communications Commission (awarding agency 027) obligated $1,747,736,468.48 on 8,726 awards coded to Michigan. Keep both sides of the join. Do not drop Michigan and call the figure a national FCC total. Do not drop Federal Communications Commission and call it Michigan’s entire federal book.

The implied mean near $200,291 remains a ratio of two packet facts. Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a complete map of Michigan subcontractors. Do not convert the Michigan FCC cell into a coverage ranking.
