Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in New York

A thick FCC file on New York

Federal Communications Commission as awarding agency, New York as place-of-performance: 10,426 records summing to $2,541,251,007.75. A Federal Communications Commission award coded outside NY is out. An award in New York from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New York (NY) excludes New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont. A Newark-coded award is New Jersey.

Ten thousand four hundred twenty-six awards is a thick FCC action file. Volume can rise on recurring subsidy-style rows without each row being a new carrier. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 10,426 as 10,426 unique broadband subscribers, licenses, or named carriers. The overlay Federal Communications Commission in New York is the both-keys table. New York federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Federal Communications Commission is the agency book without an NY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

New York City versus upstate folklore is not a packet split. The dollar total stays statewide under 027 × NY. Correlation is not causation: New York did not “cause” $2,541,251,007.75 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 027 × NY only.

Not a broadband-subscriber census

$2,541,251,007.75 does not measure broadband subscribers, licenses, or named carriers. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 027 and an NY place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 10,426 awards as a census of broadband subscribers, licenses, or named carriers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New York federal spending or Federal Communications Commission matched $2,541,251,007.75 and 10,426, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut FCC joins are other pairs, not addends.

New York statewide, not a downstate-only map

Place of performance NY is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New York (NY) excludes New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont. A Newark-coded award is New Jersey. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

New York City versus upstate folklore is not a packet split. The dollar total stays statewide under 027 × NY. This packet does not split $2,541,251,007.75 by city, county, or named facility. 10,426 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

High action count, still commitments

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,541,251,007.75 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New York confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

New York’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 10,426-award 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 $2,541,251,007.75.

Citing FCC in New York

Cite USAspending.gov: Federal Communications Commission (agency 027) obligated $2,541,251,007.75 on 10,426 awards coded to New York. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as broadband subscribers, licenses, or named carriers.

Prefer Federal Communications Commission in New York if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New York federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NY. Federal Communications Commission is the 027 parent without the NY filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,541,251,007.75.

A usable footnote names Federal Communications Commission, New York, $2,541,251,007.75, and 10,426. The compact headline $2.54 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $243,742 is $2,541,251,007.75 divided by 10,426. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
