Federal Communications Commission federal obligations in South Dakota

Commission 027 overlapping South Dakota

Federal Communications Commission as awarding agency, South Dakota as place-of-performance: 1,527 records summing to $657,538,804.26. A Federal Communications Commission award coded outside SD is out. An award in South Dakota from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. South Dakota (SD) excludes North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Montana. A Sioux Falls-coded award with a Minnesota place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

1,527 awards against $657,538,804.26 is a 1,527-award communications file, many rows against a nine-figure Plains sum. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1527 as 1527 unique license counts, tower inventories, or named carriers. Federal Communications Commission in South Dakota is the both-keys table. South Dakota federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Federal Communications Commission is the agency book without an SD filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Universal-service folklore is not a packet field. Rapid City and Sioux Falls are unpublished splits. Unique carriers stay unpublished. Correlation is not causation: South Dakota did not cause $657,538,804.26 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 027 × SD only.

Spectrum folklore is unpublished

$657,538,804.26 does not measure license counts, tower inventories, or named carriers. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 027 and an SD place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1527 awards as a census of license counts, tower inventories, or named carriers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If South Dakota federal spending or Federal Communications Commission matched $657,538,804.26 and 1527, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state FCC joins are other pairs, not addends.

South Dakota, not a Sioux Falls-only map

Place of performance SD is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. South Dakota (SD) excludes North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Montana. A Sioux Falls-coded award with a Minnesota place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $657,538,804.26 by city, county, or named facility. 1527 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

1,527 FCC rows, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $657,538,804.26 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in South Dakota confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

South Dakota’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,527 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 $657,538,804.26. Sharing a geography with Federal Communications Commission does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing the FCC in South Dakota

Cite USAspending.gov: Federal Communications Commission (agency 027) obligated $657,538,804.26 on 1,527 awards coded to South Dakota. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as license counts, tower inventories, or named carriers.

Prefer Federal Communications Commission in South Dakota if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. South Dakota federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to SD. Federal Communications Commission is the 027 parent without the SD filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $657,538,804.26.

A usable footnote names Federal Communications Commission, South Dakota, $657,538,804.26, and 1527. The compact headline $657.5M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $430,608.25 is $657,538,804.26 divided by 1527. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
