Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in Oklahoma

FCC awards tagged to Oklahoma

This page is a join of two USAspending.gov fields: awarding agency Federal Communications Commission (code 027) and place-of-performance Oklahoma. The extract sums to $1,926,075,872.38 on 6,819 awards. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not show that Federal Communications Commission spending caused Oklahoma outcomes, or that Oklahoma caused the federal award book.

The pair is not an Oklahoma broadband-availability score or a rural-coverage ranking. Correlation of an agency label with a state code is not causation. Place-of-performance can follow a carrier, a tribal or rural provider, or an administrative address. Work tagged to Oklahoma can involve parties elsewhere, and Oklahoma work can be coded to another state.

FCC Form 477 coverage maps and state broadband-office dashboards are other products. Mixing any of those series with $1,926,075,872.38 leaves the USAspending award file. The 6,819 figure counts award records, including modifications present in the extract, not unique people, firms, or facilities.

A high-volume tape under $1.93 billion

Six thousand eight hundred nineteen awards under a $1.93 billion book is a high-volume tape. Dividing $1,926,075,872.38 by 6,819 awards yields an implied mean near $282,457. That quotient is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical award size and not a median. A few large vehicles can pull the average while many smaller rows sit below it.

Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both 6,819 and $1,926,075,872.38. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $282,457 as a product schedule or a beneficiary payment.

Later ingests can revise $1,926,075,872.38 and 6,819. This prose is a packet snapshot. The overlay is the live table. If those two disagree, use the overlay. Keep the obligation label so the cell is not read as cash already paid in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma statewide versus FCC nationwide

Oklahoma’s all-agency hub stacks every awarding agency with performance coded to the state. $1,926,075,872.38 is only the Federal Communications Commission cell inside Oklahoma. The Federal Communications Commission national hub includes every state. This tie is the overlap, nothing more.

State budget documents in Oklahoma answer a different question. They are not the source of the 6,819 federal award records. If a chart mixes a General Fund table with this cell, the chart has left the USAspending.gov series.

Universal-service and related support actions can post many modest rows, which fits 6,819 awards under $1,926,075,872.38. This packet does not split USF programs. The implied mean near $282,457 is a blended ratio, not a typical household subsidy.

Support obligations are still not cash

An obligation records a legal commitment on an award. An outlay records cash leaving the Treasury. $1,926,075,872.38 is the first series. Using it as a proxy for checks already issued in Oklahoma will misstate timing. SpendingVault does not convert this cell into cash.

Multi-year vehicles can remain open after the obligation posts. Cite the pair as agency 027 × Oklahoma, $1,926,075,872.38, 6,819 awards, obligations only.

Where the structured rows live

The Oklahoma × Federal Communications Commission overlay holds the structured rows behind 6,819 awards and $1,926,075,872.38. The Oklahoma state page and the Federal Communications Commission agency page are the parents. The ties index lists other state–agency pairs on the same obligation basis.

Those views do not add a program-code mix or a unique-recipient count this packet omits. They also do not convert $1,926,075,872.38 into outlays.

How to cite FCC in Oklahoma

Cite USAspending.gov: Federal Communications Commission (awarding agency 027) obligated $1,926,075,872.38 on 6,819 awards coded to Oklahoma. Keep both sides of the join. Do not drop Oklahoma and call the figure a national FCC total. Do not drop Federal Communications Commission and call it Oklahoma’s entire federal book.

The implied mean near $282,457 remains a ratio of two packet facts. Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a complete map of Oklahoma subcontractors. Do not treat the Oklahoma FCC cell as a coverage percentage.
