CFDA 32.005 overlapping agency 027
This page joins UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND - RURAL HEALTH CARE to the Federal Communications Commission. $1,405,366,259.56 is the obligation sum on that pair. 42248 awards underlie the cell. It is not every FCC dollar, not the high-cost or schools-and-libraries USF titles, and not an outlay. CFDA 32.005 drops the agency filter. Federal Communications Commission drops the 32.005 filter.
The awarding-agency cell ($1,405,366,259.56) sits beside a program-wide total of $1,384,094,647.96. This page does not treat the agency cell as a percentage of that program total, because the two rollups are not nested in this extract. Do not treat a rollup mismatch as extra rural-clinic construction. Recipient names, circuit types, and site addresses are unpublished. Do not invent telecom carriers. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations. Correlation with rural broadband news is not causation.
Rural Health Care as a USF catalog line
The official title is UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND - RURAL HEALTH CARE. SpendingVault does not grade eligibility rules or consortium membership. $1,405,366,259.56 is an obligation sum, not a connectivity score. Other USF listings use other CFDA keys. Mixing them into $1,405,366,259.56 would invent a combined universal-service total the packet never computed.
42248 award records can include continuations. They are not 42248 clinics and not 42248 counties. A mean of about $33,264.68 per record is arithmetic on packet facts, not a typical monthly circuit charge.
Federal Communications Commission as awarding agency
Agency code 027 is the Federal Communications Commission. The awarding-agency tag does not name the Universal Service Administrative Company as a recipient unless that name appears in an unpublished award file. This packet lists no recipients. Federal Communications Commission is the FCC parent. All programs and All spending ties are catalog indexes, not this cell.
What the 32.005–FCC packet leaves out
No outlays, no state table, no named consortia, no bandwidth split. Place-of-performance geography is unpublished here. Quote Universal Service Fund - Rural Health Care and Federal Communications Commission with $1,405,366,259.56. Keep the obligation label.
Later ingests can move $1,405,366,259.56 and 42248. Prefer the live CFDA 32.005 and Federal Communications Commission tables when a later file disagrees with this snapshot. Do not annualize $1,405,366,259.56: no fiscal year is in the facts.
Citing rural-health USF awarded by the FCC
Use CFDA 32.005 for CFDA 32.005, Federal Communications Commission for the Federal Communications Commission, All programs for All programs, and All spending ties for All spending ties. Keep both join sides on the same line as $1,405,366,259.56. The 42248 rows remain an awarding-agency intersection, not a clinic directory. USAspending.gov remains the source.
A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is CFDA 32.005. The other is awarding agency 027. $1,405,366,259.56 is the obligation sum on that intersection, not a forecast and not a claim that the FCC caused rural health networks to expand. Step off this pair through the internal links.
Original award filings remain on USAspending.gov. SpendingVault republishes the join as a catalog intersection. Keep both sides of the pair in any citation. Later bulk files can move the dollars and the award-record count. Treat this JSON as a packet snapshot rather than a permanent press total.
Do not invent contractors or award recipients. Do not convert obligations into outlays. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system and do not fund this USAspending cell. Use the internal links to step off this pair onto parent hubs.
The headline dollar figure is a commitment total on tagged awards, not a Treasury payment register. Award count is a row count and can include continuations and modifications. Unique recipients remain unpublished.
Cite the catalog listing and the second join key in the same sentence as the obligation sum. Parent hubs are larger than this cell and must not be added into the headline.
