Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in South Carolina

Federal Communications Commission shows $1,015,436,968.93 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to South Carolina, across 3,333 awards. Awarding-agency 027 and South Carolina (SC) are the pair. 3,333 awards against $1,015,436,968.93 is a 3,333-award communications file, between Montana and Pennsylvania in this slice. The implied mean is about $304,661.56 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • The pair is awarding-agency 027 × place-of-performance SC.
  • Amounts are obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is in this packet.
  • The implied mean near $304,661.56 is $1,015,436,968.93 divided by 3333, not a typical award.
  • The join does not name contractors and does not measure license counts, named carriers, or tower inventories.

Commission 027 overlapping South Carolina

Federal Communications Commission as awarding agency, South Carolina as place-of-performance: 3,333 records summing to $1,015,436,968.93. A Federal Communications Commission award coded outside SC is out. An award in South Carolina from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. South Carolina (SC) excludes North Carolina and Georgia. A Columbia-coded award with a North Carolina place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

3,333 awards against $1,015,436,968.93 is a 3,333-award communications file, between Montana and Pennsylvania in this slice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 3333 as 3333 unique license counts, named carriers, or tower inventories. Federal Communications Commission in South Carolina is the both-keys table. South Carolina federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Federal Communications Commission is the agency book without an SC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Row count is not a spectrum census. Unique carriers are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: South Carolina did not cause $1,015,436,968.93 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 027 × SC only.

Broadband folklore is not a packet field

$1,015,436,968.93 does not measure license counts, named carriers, or tower inventories. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 027 and an SC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 3333 awards as a census of license counts, named carriers, or tower inventories. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If South Carolina federal spending or Federal Communications Commission matched $1,015,436,968.93 and 3333, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state FCC joins are other pairs, not addends.

South Carolina, not an Upstate-only map

Place of performance SC is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. South Carolina (SC) excludes North Carolina and Georgia. A Columbia-coded award with a North Carolina place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $1,015,436,968.93 by city, county, or named facility. 3333 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Three thousand three hundred thirty-three obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,015,436,968.93 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in South Carolina confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

South Carolina’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 3,333 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 $1,015,436,968.93. Sharing a geography with Federal Communications Commission does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing the FCC in South Carolina

Cite USAspending.gov: Federal Communications Commission (agency 027) obligated $1,015,436,968.93 on 3,333 awards coded to South Carolina. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as license counts, named carriers, or tower inventories.

Prefer Federal Communications Commission in South Carolina if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. South Carolina federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to SC. Federal Communications Commission is the 027 parent without the SC filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,015,436,968.93.

A usable footnote names Federal Communications Commission, South Carolina, $1,015,436,968.93, and 3333. The compact headline $1.02B is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $304,661.56 is $1,015,436,968.93 divided by 3333. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

South Carolina FCC is not the Commerce overlay

South Carolina’s FCC overlay is 3333 awards totaling $1,015,436,968.93 on agency 027. Commerce in South Carolina uses 013. Do not treat 3,333 rows as 3,333 unique providers. North Carolina remains a different state tag.
