§ 54.625   Support for telecommunications services beyond the maximum
supported distance for rural health care providers.

   (a) The maximum support distance for the Telecommunications Program is
   the distance from the health care provider to the farthest point on the
   jurisdictional boundary of the city in that state with the largest
   population, as calculated by the Administrator.

   (b) An eligible rural health care provider may purchase an eligible
   telecommunications service supported under the Telecommunications
   Program that is provided over a distance that exceeds the maximum
   supported distance.

   (c) If an eligible rural health care provider purchases an eligible
   telecommunications service supported under the Telecommunications
   Program that exceeds the maximum supported distance, the health care
   provider must pay the applicable rural rate for the distance that such
   service is carried beyond the maximum supported distance.
