Universal Service Fund - High Cost awarded by Federal Communications Commission

USF High Cost × FCC is CFDA 32.002, not a coverage map

This page is a join: Universal Service Fund - High Cost (CFDA 32.002) and the Federal Communications Commission (agency 027). $24,983,072,877.23 is the obligation sum on that pair. It is not the government-wide assistance total, not every CFDA on All programs, and not cash already paid. Correlation is not causation: a large pair cell does not prove the Federal Communications Commission caused activity described by the program title, or the reverse. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; FEC donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.

CFDA 32.002 is the program parent without an awarding-agency filter. Federal Communications Commission is the agency parent without this CFDA filter. All spending ties lists other pairs. A Universal Service Fund - High Cost award tagged to a different awarding agency sits outside this cell even if the CFDA is still 32.002. A Federal Communications Commission award on a different CFDA sits outside even if the topic sounds related. The pair cell exceeds the program book in this extract. Do not invent a second awarding agency. Quote both figures as published.

Universal Service Fund - High Cost as the program side

CFDA 32.002 is Universal Service Fund - High Cost. Confusing this join with the Affordable Connectivity Program, USF schools-and-libraries, or a state broadband grant would be a different table. Packet facts on the program side are the name Universal Service Fund - High Cost, number 32.002, and program-wide obligations $24,201,339,884.37. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names. Any other vendor, school, tribe, carrier, or grantee list would be invented.

Readers sometimes treat a CFDA–agency total as a budget Congress passed for a named activity. $24,983,072,877.23 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation rollup tagged to Universal Service Fund - High Cost and awarded by the Federal Communications Commission. Cite both sides. Two thousand three hundred eighty-three awards is not 2,383 unique rural carriers. Recurring high-cost support adds rows.

Federal Communications Commission as the awarding-agency side

Awarding-agency code 027 is the Federal Communications Commission. It is not a bureau split inside that department, not a place-of-performance state, and not a NAICS industry. The pair cell $24,983,072,877.23 is larger than the program-wide obligation total $24,201,339,884.37 in this extract. Quote both figures; do not invent a second program to explain the gap. Do not treat the program-wide $24,201,339,884.37 as if it were automatically the pair headline when the two figures differ. When they match, equality still does not name recipients.

Federal Communications Commission shows how Universal Service Fund - High Cost sits beside other CFDAs the Federal Communications Commission awards. This packet has no outlay total, no recipient roster, and no fiscal-year split. Carrier names, census-block coverage, or high-cost model shares are unpublished. Carrier names, study-area codes, and coverage maps are unpublished on this packet.

2,383 awards behind the high-cost–FCC cell

The extract lists 2,383 awards on the USF High Cost × FCC pair. A mid-size high-cost file: 2,383 awards against a large obligation total. Dividing $24,983,072,877.23 by 2,383 yields about $10.48 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. 2,383 is not a broadband-coverage map, a carrier market-share table, or an FCC Form 477 file.

High-cost obligations are not bills already paid to carriers

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $24,983,072,877.23 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared over-reads the field. The join cannot say that the Federal Communications Commission specialized in usf high cost because of federal demand. Keep $24,983,072,877.23 labeled as Universal Service Fund - High Cost obligations awarded by the Federal Communications Commission. It is not a broadband-coverage map, a carrier market-share table, or an FCC Form 477 file. The packet publishes no fiscal year, so this page does not invent one.
