Broadband is the common term used to refer to a very fast connection to the Internet. Such connection is also referred to as high-speed broadband, broadband Internet, or high-speed Internet. In this proposed rule, HUD proposes to require installation of broadband infrastructure at the time of new construction or substantial rehabilitation of multifamily rental housing that is funded or supported by HUD. Installation of broadband infrastructure at the time of new construction or substantial rehabilitation is generally easier and less costly than when such installation is undertaken as a stand-alone effort. The proposed rule, however, recognizes that installation of broadband infrastructure may not be feasible for all new construction or substantial rehabilitation, and, therefore, the proposed rule allows limited exceptions to the installation requirements. Installing unit-based broadband infrastructure in multifamily rental housing that is newly constructed or substantially rehabilitated with or supported by HUD funding will provide a platform for individuals and families residing in such housing to participate in the digital economy, and increase their access to economic opportunities.", "2016-05-18", 2016, 5, "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/05/18/2016-11352/narrowing-the-digital-divide-through-installation-of-broadband-infrastructure-in-hud-funded-new", "https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-05-18/pdf/2016-11352.pdf", "Housing and Urban Development Department", "228", "Through this proposed rule, HUD continues its efforts to narrow the digital divide in low-income communities served by HUD by providing, where feasible and with HUD funding, broadband infrastructure to communities in need of such infrastructure....", null]], "columns": ["document_number", "title", "type", "abstract", "publication_date", "pub_year", "pub_month", "html_url", "pdf_url", "agency_names", "agency_ids", "excerpts", "regulation_id_numbers"], "primary_keys": ["document_number"], "primary_key_values": ["2016-11352"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.3738231025636196, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
