Universal Service Fund Schools and Libraries in Alaska

Alaska and CFDA 32.004 as a pair

CFDA 32.004 is titled UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND - SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES. Crossed with Alaska place of performance, obligations sum to $139,986,819.80 on 579 awards. The national 32.004 hub includes other states. Alaska’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $139,986,819.80 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of Alaska schools or libraries.

five hundred seventy-nine awards is a thick E-Rate assistance file with hundreds of rows. The join does not name recipients. Packet facts are $139,986,819.80, 579 awards, AK, and 32.004. Correlation is not causation. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Keep E-Rate Schools and Libraries and Alaska together when reading $139,986,819.80.

E-Rate, not Affordable Connectivity

Affordable Connectivity Program (CFDA 32.008) is a household-subsidy catalog, not this schools-and-libraries listing. Mixing 32.004 and 32.008 in Alaska would invent a combined universal-service book. Mixing those series into $139,986,819.80 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Alaska, CFDA 32.004, $139,986,819.80, 579 awards. School names, library names, and provider names are unpublished.

The catalog title names Universal Service Fund - Schools And Libraries, not a ranking of Alaska school districts. Dividing $139,986,819.80 by 579 yields about $241,773 per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 579 is not a school, library, or named-provider census.

Alaska geography on the schools-and-libraries tag

AK is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Anchorage, Fairbanks, or Bethel can share the tag. Awards coded to Washington and Hawaii, stored as other geography keys stay outside $139,986,819.80 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $140.0 million into a rural-connectivity atlas.

Alaska federal spending is the all-program parent. 32.004 is one row on Alaska programs. $140.0 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Universal Service Fund - Schools And Libraries in Alaska for the filtered table, CFDA 32.004 for the catalog without a Alaska filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $139,986,819.80.

Five hundred seventy-nine awards, still obligations

$139,986,819.80 ÷ 579 is about $241,773 per award. That average is a mid-six-figure mean on a thick file, not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 579 as a record count, not as 579 unique schools or 579 named libraries.

Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 579 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $139,986,819.80 without changing the join key of 32.004 and AK. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $139,986,819.80 is the net total supplied in the facts. The pair remains E-Rate Schools and Libraries plus Alaska. Do not treat $139,986,819.80 as an outlay series.

What Alaska E-Rate funding does not prove

A large 32.004 total tagged to Alaska does not measure whether Alaska classroom broadband improved, and it does not equal circuits already installed. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $139,986,819.80 on 579 awards for E-Rate Schools and Libraries in Alaska.

Obligations of $139,986,819.80 are not outlays. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov for this 32.004 × AK pair. 579 remains an award-record count, not a person, facility, or project census.
