Alabama high-cost universal service as a CFDA row

On the program side, the packet gives four facts: Universal Service Fund - High Cost, CFDA 32.002, $370,841,725.18, and 34 awards. UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND - HIGH COST is the uppercase listing title. That is the full program inventory for this file. No recipient names appear.

The page is not a named carrier roster and not the Arkansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, or Oregon 32.002 joins. Neighbor-state Universal Service Fund - High Cost joins are other pairs, not addends for $370,841,725.18. A 32.002 award with a different state tag is outside this cell even if the work looks related.
