SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The final rule that is the subject of these corrections affects the
internal management of the RUS telecommunications program. This rule
reflected the recently approved reorganization of the RUS
telecommunications program. The intended effect of this action was to
provide efficient utilization of program personnel resources. The new
organizational structure will be put into place in the near future. To
better guide and assist the public, RUS is amending the rule to reflect
the current rather than the newly approved organizational structure.
Following the establishment of the new telecommunications program
organizational units, the public will be advised accordingly.
Need for Correction
As published, the final rule contains information that may be
misleading and is in need of modification.
