Statewide geospatial representation of Nebraska Public Service Commission–administered Nebraska Universal Service Fund Reverse Auction program project areas supporting broadband-capable infrastructure, including funding awards across all program years or bidding cycles.
<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Nebraska Universal Service Fund-131 (NUSF-131) Projects dataset provides an authoritative, statewide geospatial and tabular representation of broadband-capable infrastructure projects awarded funding through the Nebraska Universal Service Fund-131 reverse auction program. The dataset includes project locations and selected award attributes such as award year, funding amounts, administering entities, project status, and general project purpose.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The NUSF-131 program was established pursuant to Nebraska state law to support the deployment of broadband infrastructure in unserved areas through a competitive reverse auction mechanism. The Nebraska Public Service Commission administers NUSF-131 projects in accordance with statutory requirements, program rules, and Commission orders. Reverse auction opportunities were opened, and projects were awarded in 2022, with two additional auction opportunities conducted in 2024. There are no active auction opportunities at this time; however, the Commission may open future opportunities subject to funding availability for targeted eligible unserved locations. This dataset supports planning, coordination, reporting, and public transparency related to broadband infrastructure investments in Nebraska.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Data for the NUSF-131 projects dataset are derived from NUSF-131 award documentation, program management records, and associated spatial reference materials maintained by the Nebraska Public Service Commission. Award information is reviewed for completeness and standardized for inclusion in a statewide geospatial dataset. Spatial features were created and/or derived from 2010 or 2020 US Census data. are created or updated using project location information provided by award recipients and authoritative boundary layers.
The dataset is maintained to support ongoing administration of awarded projects and updated periodically to update awarded projects, project status, corrections, or approved changes.
NUSF-131 project areas were compiled for awarded projects using project areas for reverse auction bidding/award cycles derived from 2010 or 2020 US Census data. Attribute data were extracted from PSC dockets, orders, and project tracking records.
