The FCC deleted rules it no longer uses, including one about telegraphs

The Federal Communications Commission removed a list of rules it considers outdated or unnecessary. This means the agency is cleaning up its books, getting rid of regulations that no longer apply to modern communication technologies.

Government agencies accumulate rules over decades, many of which become irrelevant as technology changes. This kind of cleanup is a small but necessary administrative task. It means less clutter for the agency and potentially fewer obscure compliance burdens for companies, even if the rules were already ignored.
