{"abstract":"Rural Development's Rural Utilities Service (RUS) and its predecessor, the Rural Electrification Administration, (REA) have played a leading role in helping rural America gain access to advanced telecommunications systems, equipment and services. The List of Materials historically has been a very useful tool in assuring product quality and reliability. However, Rural Development is taking a fundamentally new approach to advancing state-of-the-art telecommunications technologies, consistent with our commitment to high quality rural service and the efficient use of taxpayer dollars.","action":"Notice of elimination of the List of Materials.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE","name":"Agriculture Department","id":12,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/agriculture-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/12","parent_id":null,"slug":"agriculture-department"},{"raw_name":"Rural Utilities Service","name":"Rural Utilities Service","id":460,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/rural-utilities-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/460","parent_id":12,"slug":"rural-utilities-service"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2011/05/27/2011-13126.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"76 FR 30904","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective May 23, 2011, Rural Development will no longer accept applications for equipment to be added to the List of Materials and will cease publication of the List of Materials for Telecommunications, RUS Information Publication 344-2.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2011-13126","effective_on":"2011-05-23","end_page":30905,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2011/05/27/2011-13126.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/05/27/2011-13126/rural-utilities-service-telecommunications-loan-and-loan-guarantee-program","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2011-13126?publication_date=2011-05-27","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2011-05-27/2011-13126/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":348,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 10:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-05-27/pdf/2011-13126.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2011-05-27","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2011/05/27/2011-13126.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-06-16T08:07:22Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":30904,"subtype":null,"title":"Rural Utilities Service Telecommunications Loan and Loan Guarantee Program","toc_doc":"Telecommunications Loan and Loan Guarantee Program","toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":76}
