# §891.550. Broadband infrastructure.


Any new construction or substantial rehabilitation, as substantial rehabilitation is defined by [24 CFR 5.100](/cfr/24/5.100.md), of a building with more than 4 rental units and funded by a grant awarded after January 19, 2017 must include installation of broadband infrastructure, as this term is also defined in [24 CFR 5.100](/cfr/24/5.100.md), except where the owner determines and documents the determination that:

- (a) The location of the new construction or substantial rehabilitation makes installation of broadband infrastructure infeasible;
- (b) The cost of installing broadband infrastructure would result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of its program or activity or in an undue financial burden; or
- (c) The structure of the housing to be substantially rehabilitated makes installation of broadband infrastructure infeasible.
