The FY2027 President's Budget requests — for Connecting Minority Communities, within Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration account.
Commerce discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Commerce's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
NTIA administers the Connecting Minority Communities Pilot Grants program, as required by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. The NTIA has awarded approximately $263 million in grants under the Connecting Minority Communities Pilot Program. The Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 rescinded all remaining funds planned for NTIA grants oversight and technical assistance, and NTIA is using funds transferred from Broadband Equity Access and Deployment to ensure the successful completion of the grants and to continue to conduct grants oversight and technical assistance to protect federal grant funds from waste, fraud and abuse. In FY 2027, grant recipients of the program will complete the closeout process. Through FY 2026, NTIA conducted oversight of these pilot grants and began the close out process for the remaining active grants. In FY 2027, NTIA will work with the Grants Office to complete the grant close out process.
