a. Not applicable.
Rural vs. Nonrural Applications
Broadband infrastructure projects proposing to serve areas which are at least 75% ruralV were
required to be submitted to RUS/BIP. Broadband infrastructure projects include last mile and
middle mile projects. If applicants chose, they could simultaneously submit an application to
NTIA/BTOP, and NTIA had the option of making awards to those applications if RUS
determined not to fund them. Therefore, broadband infrastructure applications submitted to BIP-
only or to both BIP and BTOP can be classified as "rural," while broadband infrastructure
applications submitted to BTOP-only can be classified as "nonrural." Applications submitted to
BTOP/NTIA for broadband sustainable adoption grants and public computer centers grants
address both rural and nonrural areas. However, based on the information available in the
Broadband USA applications database, it is not possible to separate out "rural" from "nonrural"
applications for adoption and computer center grants.
4 Defined by RUS as any area, as confirmed by the latest decennial census of the Bureau of the Census, which is not
located within: (1) a city, town, or incorporated area that has a population of greater than 20,000 inhabitants; or (2) an
urbanized area contiguous and adjacent to a city or town that has a population of greater than 50,000 inhabitants. For
purposes of the definition of rural area, an urbanized area means a densely populated territory as defined in the latest
decennial census of the U.S. Census Bureau.Congressional Research Service4
