Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in New Mexico

Reading the FCC–NM pair

USAspending.gov stores awarding agency and place of performance on the same award rows. Intersecting 027 with NM yields $726,051,895.83 in obligations. The pair is not a statement that New Mexico caused Federal Communications Commission to spend, and it is not a census of households online.

Behind $726,051,895.83 sit 3,363 award actions (a very long award list). That denominator is why the mean of about $215,894.11 can look large or small depending on how many small rows share the cell. The packet does not publish a median or a unique-recipient count.

$726,051,895.83 across 3,363 actions

3,363 rows and $726,051,895.83 produce a mean of about $215,894.11. That ratio is not a typical universal-service award and not a payment to a named vendor. Repeat the two packet facts when you reuse the mean; do not round them into a new official statistic.

Do not infer a typical universal-service award from the mean. The overlay can show mixed instruments; this page only has the two published numbers and the four internal links.

Statewide New Mexico, not Albuquerque from Santa Fe or Las Cruces

Two one-sided pages exist so this two-sided page can stay small. Federal Communications Commission in New Mexico is the live overlay. 3,363 awards and $726,051,895.83 belong only to the pair, not to a blended statewide rollup hidden under this slug.

Mailing address and place of performance can differ. An award that lists New Mexico geography enters this total; an award that lists Arizona or Texas does not, even if the vendor answers mail in Albuquerque. Keep 3,363 attached to the statewide tag.

Source note on obligations

Readers sometimes treat obligation totals as checks cleared. The packet does not support that reading. $726,051,895.83 is the commitment sum; outlays are unnamed here.

The source note repeats the same limit: obligations are not outlays. 3,363 is how many award rows carry both tags, not how many payments left the Treasury.

rural broadband, universal-service support, and tower-siting folklore is not a finding

Do not rank New Mexico as a winner or loser on FCC dollars from this page alone. The packet has no comparison table. All spending ties lists other pairs without turning this cell into a scoreboard.

A searcher who arrived from a political query still gets an awarding-agency × state obligation total. 3,363 awards and $726,051,895.83 stay in that unit. No donor names are in the packet, and none are invented.

Internal links that keep the same unit

Reuse $726,051,895.83 only with the filters that created it. Agency 027 without New Mexico, or New Mexico without agency 027, is a different number. About $215,894.11 per award stays a derived ratio of the same two facts.

Keep Federal Communications Commission and New Mexico in the same sentence whenever you quote $726,051,895.83. New Mexico federal spending will look larger because it mixes agencies. Federal Communications Commission will look larger because it mixes states. Federal Communications Commission in New Mexico is the pair. All spending ties lists other pairs. Correlation is not causation. Agency 027 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national FCC budget on this page. New Mexico's $726,051,895.83 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Federal Communications Commission and call the difference 'New Mexico versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. Federal Communications Commission is the awarding-agency label stored on the New Mexico overlay; the numeric key is 027. Readers who only remember the short name FCC still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $726,051,895.83. The 3,363 figure is not a count of unique carriers and is not a count of distinct communications awards. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $215,894.11 is not a typical universal-service award.
