Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in Pennsylvania

Commission 027 meeting Pennsylvania

Federal Communications Commission as awarding agency, Pennsylvania as place-of-performance: 8,456 records summing to $1,011,877,177.93. A Federal Communications Commission award coded outside PA is out. An award in Pennsylvania from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Pennsylvania (PA) excludes New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, and Delaware. A Pittsburgh-coded award with an Ohio place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

8,456 awards against $1,011,877,177.93 is an 8,456-award communications file, the thickest FCC join in this slice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 8456 as 8456 unique named carriers, license counts, or tower inventories. Federal Communications Commission in Pennsylvania is the both-keys table. Pennsylvania federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Federal Communications Commission is the agency book without an PA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Many small rows can sit under one nine-figure sum. Unique providers are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Pennsylvania did not cause $1,011,877,177.93 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 027 × PA only.

A thick FCC file is not a carrier census

$1,011,877,177.93 does not measure named carriers, license counts, or tower inventories. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 027 and an PA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 8456 awards as a census of named carriers, license counts, or tower inventories. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Pennsylvania federal spending or Federal Communications Commission matched $1,011,877,177.93 and 8456, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state FCC joins are other pairs, not addends.

Pennsylvania, not a two-metro map

Place of performance PA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Pennsylvania (PA) excludes New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, and Delaware. A Pittsburgh-coded award with an Ohio place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $1,011,877,177.93 by city, county, or named facility. 8456 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Eight thousand four hundred fifty-six obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,011,877,177.93 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Pennsylvania confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Pennsylvania’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 8,456 awards 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 $1,011,877,177.93. Sharing a geography with Federal Communications Commission does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing the FCC in Pennsylvania

Cite USAspending.gov: Federal Communications Commission (agency 027) obligated $1,011,877,177.93 on 8,456 awards coded to Pennsylvania. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named carriers, license counts, or tower inventories.

Prefer Federal Communications Commission in Pennsylvania if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Pennsylvania federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to PA. Federal Communications Commission is the 027 parent without the PA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,011,877,177.93.

A usable footnote names Federal Communications Commission, Pennsylvania, $1,011,877,177.93, and 8456. The compact headline $1.01B is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $119,663.81 is $1,011,877,177.93 divided by 8456. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

The thickest FCC join in this slice still names no carriers

Pennsylvania’s FCC overlay is 8456 awards totaling $1,011,877,177.93. Two-metro folklore (Philadelphia, Pittsburgh) is not a packet split. Ohio Treasury 014 in this slice is a different agency. Do not treat 8,456 rows as 8,456 unique providers.
