# 1787.5 Eligible countries.

The United State Trade Representative (USTR) determines what countries are eligible countries with respect to purchases made by electric borrowers or telecommunications borrowers. A particular country may be determined to be an eligible country for purchases made by telecommunications borrowers, for electric borrowers, or both. RUS maintains the latest *Federal Register* notice on its website which sets out the list of Eligible Countries for each RUS program at *https://www.rd.usda.gov/files/UEP_Engineering_EligibleCountries.pdf.*
