Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in Nevada
USAspending.gov records $724,495,455.66 in Federal Communications Commission obligations coded to agency 027 with Nevada place of performance, across 1,946 awards. That pair is an awarding-agency filter crossed with a geography filter, not a national Federal Communications Commission budget. Average obligation per award is about $372,299.82 — a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical universal-service award.
Key figures
- FCC (027) in Nevada: $724,495,455.66 across 1,946 awards.
- Average obligation per award is about $372,299.82.
- The total is obligations, not outlays, and not nationwide FCC.
- NV is place of performance, not a Las Vegas-only split.
What the FCC–Nevada join is
Awarding agency 027 and place-of-performance state NV meet here. $724,495,455.66 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Federal Communications Commission's nationwide budget, not Nevada's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Rural broadband, universal-service support, and tower-siting folklore and desert-metro and rural-county folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a census of households online.
1,946 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 Nevada against other states and does not name carriers inside the extract.
Open Federal Communications Commission in Nevada for the filtered table, Nevada federal spending for the next hub, Federal Communications Commission for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.
1,946 FCC actions under one Nevada filter
Dividing $724,495,455.66 by 1,946 yields about $372,299.82 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 Nevada'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 Nevada overlay is a different total
The agency-wide Federal Communications Commission page aggregates 027 without requiring NV geography. The Nevada federal spending page aggregates all agencies with Nevada place of performance. Only Federal Communications Commission in Nevada applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 1,946 awards and $724,495,455.66.
Place of performance in Nevada is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list NV while later network construction occurs in California or Arizona. FCC awards coded to those places do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Las Vegas. This packet does not split Las Vegas from Reno or Carson City.
Obligations, not outlays
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $724,495,455.66 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 Nevada over-reads the field.
Award count 1,946 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Nevada–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 Nevada does not mean the agency caused Nevada's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between desert-metro and rural-county folklore and FCC awards is expected; it is not a finding about waste or program quality.
Keep $724,495,455.66 labeled as agency 027 obligations with Nevada 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 Nevada–FCC pair
A clean footnote names awarding agency 027 (Federal Communications Commission), Nevada place of performance, $724,495,455.66 in obligations, and 1,946 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $724,495,455.66 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $372,299.82 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical universal-service award.
Federal Communications Commission in Nevada, Nevada federal spending, Federal Communications Commission, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $724,495,455.66 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Las Vegas-versus-Reno 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.
