Universal Service Fund - High Cost (CFDA 32.002) in Oklahoma

High-cost support tagged to Oklahoma

CFDA 32.002 is titled Universal Service Fund - High Cost. Oklahoma is the place-of-performance state. $1,042,494,088.19 sums obligations on records that carry both keys. The Oklahoma hub totals every program. The national 32.002 hub totals every state. This tie is the overlap. It does not prove that Oklahoma’s terrain caused the awards, and it does not grade carriers.

Sixty-four awards against $1.04 billion is a concentrated file relative to assistance lines that explode into tens of thousands of rows. The mean near $16.3 million is an average across those 64 records, not a typical monthly high-cost payment.

Sixty-four awards against $1,042,494,088.19 is almost the same instrument count as Nebraska’s 62-award High Cost cell. Near-matching row counts invite false rankings. This page refuses that ranking. Oklahoma’s mean near $16.3 million is simply $1,042,494,088.19 divided by 64. If a later harvest adds rows without adding dollars, the mean will fall. That restatement would be a table event, not a finding that rural service got cheaper.

One USF catalog title, not the whole fund

High Cost is a specific CFDA. Other Universal Service mechanisms under different catalog numbers are outside $1,042,494,088.19. Veterans State Nursing Home Care and other Oklahoma program ties are also separate. Packet facts are the obligation sum, 64 awards, state OK, and CFDA 32.002. No carrier list and no unserved-location count are included.

The catalog title describes support for high-cost areas. USAspending still stores the dollars as obligations on award rows. That is not an FCC Form 499 narrative and not a broadband-availability map.

Oklahoma on the place-of-performance field

Oklahoma is USAspending state code OK. A provider based in Texas or Arkansas can still show OK if performance is coded there. Awards coded to those neighboring states stay on other 32.002 ties. $1,042,494,088.19 is not every federal telecommunications dollar in Oklahoma and is not a county-level last-mile inventory.

Statewide Oklahoma federal spending is the parent. CFDA 32.002 is one line. Readers comparing Oklahoma veterans-home care (a seven-award cell in this harvest) with high-cost USF should keep the CFDA numbers distinct.

The $16.3 million average

Average obligation is about $16.3 million ($1,042,494,088.19 ÷ 64). Nebraska’s 32.002 cell in this same harvest uses 62 awards against a slightly higher dollar total, so its mean sits a little higher. That comparison is arithmetic on two aggregates, not evidence that one state’s network is cheaper to serve.

Net obligations may include negative adjustments. This page reports $1,042,494,088.19 as given. Obligations are not outlays.

What the Oklahoma–32.002 pair is not

The join does not mean Oklahoma appropriated these dollars, and it does not mean high-cost outlays equal $1,042,494,088.19. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.

Oklahoma High Cost beside the state’s other large cells

Universal Service Fund - High Cost in Oklahoma is the overlay for CFDA 32.002 inside state OK. Sixty-four awards and $1,042,494,088.19 sit next to Oklahoma’s seven-award Veterans State Nursing Home Care cell in this harvest. Same state tag, unrelated catalogs, unrelated table shapes. Readers should not add $1,042,494,088.19 to $1,193,641,540.94 and call the sum Oklahoma telecommunications-plus-veterans-care. Each join is a separate two-key filter.

Nebraska and Iowa also appear as 32.002 joins in this slice, with 62 and 266 awards. Iowa’s thicker file produces a lower mean. That comparison is arithmetic on three aggregates. It is not a ranking of rural carriers. Oklahoma programs holds every CFDA. The national 32.002 hub drops the state filter. Obligations are not outlays, and FEC filings do not fund this USAspending cell.
