Index of Electric Issuances Borrower Edition ____________________________________________________________________ I N T R 0 D U C T I 0 N This index serves as a valuable resource for identifying current RUS issuances and maintaining current files. This issuance replaces the July 1995 edition and covers all RUS issuances and amendments as of May 1998, pertaining to the electric program. To maintain your files, you may wish to make a periodic check of your bulletin's files against the numerical list (Part 111) to identify any missing or rescinded issuances. RUS is continuing its efforts in the renumbering of its publications. New and revised electric issuances will appear with a 1700 series number, which corresponds with RUS policy issued in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). RUS Borrowers will be notified of new and revised bulletins, by memo or hard copy. RUS borrowers should notify their business associates of the availability of these bulletins. All new and revised RUS bulletins will be available on the RUS Home Page upon issue date at: http://www.usda.gov/rus/. We encourage you to visit our home page. If you have any questions, CALL (202) 720-8674 or FAX (202) 205-3654. Certain items are available directly from the Government Printing Office (GPO). These publications are indicated by an "#" in Part III of this publication. See Part V for GPO ordering information.
