DISCLAIMER
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this
document. However, in case of discrepancies, records of
Technical Standards Committee “A" are the authoritative
source.

PREFACE
This List of Acceptable Materials (Telecommunications) supersedes all preceding issues. It reflects all
actions of the Technical Standards Committees "A" and "B" (Telecommunications) through
April 30, 2009.
The small letters used to designate many construction items listed herein correspond to the letters used
on construction drawings to indicate individual items of material; however, many equipment items have
been assigned letter combinations only as a means of identification within the List of Acceptable Materials
(Telecommunications).
The acceptance of an additional item or the deletion of an existing item is a function of the RUS
Administrator and Technical Standards Committees "A" and "B" (Telecommunications). Anyone desiring
to have a new item placed on the List of Materials (Telecommunications), or believing an existing item
should be removed from the List of Materials (Telecommunications), is invited to submit the matter to
Technical Standards Committee "A" (Telecommunications). Any communication calling attention to an
error, an obsolete item, etc., will also be appreciated. All communications should be addressed to the
Chair, Technical Standards Committee "A" (Telecommunications), Stop 1550, U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Rural Utilities Service, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, D.C. 20250-1550.
The inclusion of an item in the List of Materials (Telecommunications) does not indicate that that item's
manufacturer or its principals have not been debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared
ineligible or voluntarily excluded pursuant to Executive Order 12549, Debarment or Suspension, or any
rules or regulations issued thereunder, including 7 CFR Part 3017 ("Debarment Regulations".) Therefore,
borrowers must comply with the requirements imposed by the Debarment Regulations before entering
into any "covered transaction," as defined by 7 CFR Part 3017, involving any item on this List of Materials
(Telecommunications.)
RUS Buy American Requirement - All materials and equipment financed with loan funds under the
RE Act of 1938, as amended, are subject to the “Buy American” provisions (7 U.S.C. 901 et seq. as
amended in 1938), as amended. The "Buy American" provision is found at
http://www.usda.gov/rus/regs/info/100-1/buy_american.htm. For products of non-domestic origin
manufacture manufacturers should request Technical Acceptance. Refer to the section below on Agency
policy for financing of non-domestic products.
For Agency acceptance of a product as domestic, the manufacturer must include a certification stating
that the product, as it is sold to RUS borrowers, complies with the following two domestic origin
manufacture provisions:
a) Final assembly or manufacture of the product, as the product would be used by an RUS borrower,
is completed in the United States or eligible countries (currently, Mexico, Canada and Israel); and
b) The cost of United States and eligible countries' components (in any combination) within the
product is more than 50 percent of the total cost of all components utilized in the product. The
cost of non-domestic components (components not manufactured within the United States or
eligible countries) which are included in the finished product must include all duties, taxes, and
delivery charges to the point of assembly or manufacture.
The Buy American is applied to the product, as sold to RUS borrowers, and to the components directly
incorporated in the product, but not to the supplies that are used in the manufacture of such components.
The place of manufacturing determines whether a component is domestic. Components manufactured in
the USA or in an eligible country are considered domestic.

The cost of a component includes the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of
incorporation into the product (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable
duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued). If the manufacturer of the product
manufactures a component, then the cost of the component includes all costs associated with the
manufacture of the component, including transportation costs (whether or not such costs are paid to a
domestic firm), plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include
any costs associated with the manufacturing of the product such as cost of assembly, alignment, testing,
etc.
For a system that the manufacturer has certified to RUS that meets the RUS Buy American requirement
as a domestic product, please be aware that a subsystem (hereafter in the paragraph called the "product")
may stand alone as a "product" and that when sold by itself it may be a non-domestic "product." When
this is the case and this subsystem is not Agency-listed as stand alone “product”, the manufacturer must
inform the borrower that the "product" is non-domestic. The "product" may be financed by RUS upon the
product meeting the RUS Buy American Requirement as a non-domestic product.
For a product listed as a domestic product, there may be particular cases where the product becomes
non-domestic due to its configuration (its provisioning or other unique factors). When this is the case, the
manufacturer shall inform the borrower that for this particular sale that the product is a non-domestic
product. Manufacturers are responsible to inform product distributors or re-sellers of the particular
circumstances that would make their product non-domestic or to have an internal procedure in place as to
ensure that the borrower is informed when the product has become non-domestic.
The following documents have more information on RUS "Buy American" requirements:
a) IP 100-1 , Rural Electrification Act of 1936, as amended, 7 U.S.C. 901-950b (as of 1/23/2004),
available at http://www.usda.gov/rus/index2/rusregs.htm ;
b) RUS Bulletin 344-3, "Buy American Requirement, available at
http://www.usda.gov/rus/telecom/publications/bulletins.htm ; and
c) Buy American Federal Register Notices available at
http://www.usda.gov/rus/telecom/publications/publications.htm#buy
Applicability of the RUS Buy American (BA) Requirement to Software - The BA applies to
standard commercially available software, i.e. computer programs, in cases when manufacturing is
involved. The BA does not apply to services such as programming services required to meet the specific
need of a specific customer. Although the creation of a software program involves intellectual processes
as would the creation of a manuscript of a book, once created the process of duplicating the result for sale
or lease is a manufacturing process. (For purely electronic reproductions that do not involve
manufacturing the BA would not apply.) The software product’s components would consist of the CD and
the user’s manual. While most of the cost may be attributable to development efforts, the developing of
software is not subject to the BA.
RUS Policy on the Financing Non-Domestic Products
Products that do not meet the "Buy American" provision of 1938, as amended, are included in the RUS
List of Materials as non-domestic. The "Buy American" provision is found at
http://www.usda.gov/rus/regs/info/100-1/buy_american.htm. For RUS financing of a product RUS
requires that the product complies with the "Buy American" provision and that the product either has
been determined acceptable by RUS or has received an RUS letter of technical acceptance. (For more
information on RUS requirements for product acceptance or technical acceptance see RUS listing
procedures at http://www.usda.gov/rus/telecom/materials/listing/listing.htm .)

A product that does not meet either of the two conditions below is classified as non-domestic for purposes
of RUS financing:
(1) Final assembly or manufacture of the product, as the product would be used by an RUS borrower,
is completed in the United States or eligible countries (currently, Mexico, Canada and Israel); and
(2) The cost of United States and eligible countries' components (in any combination) within the
product is more than 50 percent of the total cost of all components utilized in the product. The
cost of non-domestic components (components not manufactured within the United States or
eligible countries) which are included in the finished product must include all duties, taxes, and
delivery charges to the point of assembly/manufacture.
Per RUS Bulletin 344-3, a bid for a non-domestic product is considered to be in compliance with the "Buy
American" when the domestic bid exceeds the non-domestic bid by a sum determined by computing six
percent of the material content in the non-domestic bid. For a bid or proposal that contains multiple
products, the RUS Buy American requirement applies to each individual product per paragraph IV.E of
RUS Bulletin 344-3 which states: “Where a supplier or contractor offers or furnishes several items under
a purchase order or contract, the provisions of this Bulletin are applicable to each of such items.”
For products classified as non-domestic, there may be particular cases where a product configuration due
to its provision (or for other unique factors) that may cause the product to become domestic. When this is
the case, the manufacturer shall inform the borrower that for this particular sale the product is a domestic
product. Manufacturers are responsible to inform product distributors or re-sellers of the particular
circumstances that would make their product domestic or to have an internal procedure in place as to
ensure that the borrower is informed when the product has become domestic to avoid having the product
treated as non-domestic for such particular sale.

RUS Policy on Listing Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
The Agency will not separately list OEM'ed equipment, unless the product is being OEM’ed to a listed
manufacturer. Generally, OEM’ed products (products exactly the same as listed products with different
manufacturers' names and model designations) may be shown on the List of Acceptable Materials as part
of a product listing when a certification is provided by the listed manufacturer. This certification needs to
state that the manufacturer has an agreement with one or more other companies to resell the listed
equipment. This certification must also include these companies' names, product names, and an
explanation of the agreements. Certifications must also be provided by the listed manufacturer and each
of the resellers stating that the product sold is unchanged from the product sold by the listed
manufacturer with the exception of cosmetic changes required to change the suppliers' names and model
designations. These certifications must include company contact information for each company involved
including contact name, mailing address, email address and telephone number.
