Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in Ohio

What the FCC-Ohio join is

Awarding agency 027 and place-of-performance state OH meet here. $1,134,622,368.42 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Federal Communications Commission's nationwide budget, not Ohio's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Rural-broadband, universal-service, and statewide tower folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a census of Ohio households online.

12,136 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a very long award list beside a billion-dollar obligation total. A very long row list can mix small support payments with larger instruments. The join does not rank Ohio against other states and does not name carriers inside the extract.

Open Federal Communications Commission in Ohio for the filtered table, Ohio federal spending for the next hub, Federal Communications Commission for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

12,136 FCC actions under one Ohio filter

Dividing $1,134,622,368.42 by 12,136 yields about $93,492.28 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical universal-service award. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census and not a household census. Carrier names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Rural-broadband, universal-service, and statewide tower 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 an Ohio overlay is a different total

The agency-wide Federal Communications Commission page aggregates 027 without requiring OH geography. The Ohio federal spending page aggregates all agencies with Ohio place of performance. Only Federal Communications Commission in Ohio applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 12,136 awards and $1,134,622,368.42.

Place of performance in Ohio is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list OH while later work occurs in Pennsylvania or Indiana. FCC awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Columbus. This packet does not split Cleveland from Columbus or Cincinnati.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $1,134,622,368.42 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 Ohio over-reads the field.

Award count 12,136 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Ohio-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 Ohio does not mean the commission caused Ohio's connectivity mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between rural geography and FCC awards is expected; it is not a finding about broadband quality or waste.

Keep $1,134,622,368.42 labeled as agency 027 obligations with Ohio 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 Ohio-FCC pair

A clean footnote names awarding agency 027 (Federal Communications Commission), Ohio place of performance, $1,134,622,368.42 in obligations, and 12,136 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $1,134,622,368.42 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $93,492.28 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical universal-service award.

Federal Communications Commission in Ohio, Ohio federal spending, Federal Communications Commission, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $1,134,622,368.42 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Cleveland-versus-Columbus folklore is not a metro split in this packet. A long award list is still a record count, including modifications. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.
