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.
