borrowed funds from RUS. The purpose
of the program is to encourage these
electric and telecommunications
utilities to promote rural economic
development and job creation projects

is responsible for fully repaying its loan
to the government even if the ultimate
recipient does not repay its loan. The
intermediary must use program grant
funds, along with its required
contribution, to create a revolving loan
fund that the utility will operate and
administer. Loans to the ultimate
recipient are made from the revolving
loan fund for a variety of community
development projects.
