borrowed funds from the Agency. The 

purpose of the program is to encourage 

these electric and telecommunications 

utilities to promote rural economic 

development and job creation projects 

such as business start-up costs, business 

expansion, community development, 

and business incubator projects. The 

utilities must use program loan funds to 

make a pass-through loan to an ultimate 

recipient such as a business. The utility 

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
