Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in North Carolina

A mid-thick FCC file on North Carolina

Federal Communications Commission as awarding agency, North Carolina as place-of-performance: 5,870 records summing to $1,276,273,656.93. A Federal Communications Commission award coded outside NC is out. An award in North Carolina from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. North Carolina (NC) excludes South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia. A South Carolina-coded FCC award is not this cell.

Five thousand eight hundred seventy awards against $1,276,273,656.93 is a mid-thick FCC file, between Alaska’s 1,956 and Missouri’s 8,114 on this slice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 5,870 as 5,870 unique unique broadband subscribers, USF recipients, or named towers. Federal Communications Commission in North Carolina is the both-keys table. North Carolina federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Federal Communications Commission is the agency book without an NC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This NC FCC join is not the NC Labor or NC EPA cells. Keep awarding-agency codes 027, 1601, and 068 on separate pages. Correlation is not causation: North Carolina did not cause $1,276,273,656.93 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 027 × NC only. Campaign contributions do not fund these USAspending awards.

5,870 rows are not 5,870 unique carriers

$1,276,273,656.93 does not measure unique broadband subscribers, USF recipients, or named towers. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 027 and an NC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 5,870 awards as a census of unique broadband subscribers, USF recipients, or named towers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If North Carolina federal spending or Federal Communications Commission matched $1,276,273,656.93 and 5,870, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. South Carolina, Virginia, and the Arizona FCC join in this slice are other pairs, not addends.

North Carolina, not a Carolinas broadband belt

Place of performance NC is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. North Carolina (NC) excludes South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia. A South Carolina-coded FCC award is not this cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This NC FCC join is not the NC Labor or NC EPA cells. Keep awarding-agency codes 027, 1601, and 068 on separate pages. This packet does not split $1,276,273,656.93 by city, county, or named facility. 5,870 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Support volume versus cash already paid

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,276,273,656.93 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in North Carolina confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

North Carolina’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 5,870-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 $1,276,273,656.93. The compact headline $1.28 billion is that same dollar total rounded, not a second extract.

The implied mean near $217,423 is $1,276,273,656.93 divided by 5,870. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
