    RUS makes loans and loan guarantees to finance the construction of 
electric distribution, transmission and generation facilities, including 
system improvements and replacements required to furnish and improve 
electric service in rural areas, and for demand side management, energy 
conservation programs, and on grid and off grid renewable energy 
systems. In some circumstances, RUS may finance selected operating 
expenses of its borrowers. Loans made or guaranteed by the Administrator 
of RUS will be made in conformance with the Rural Electrification Act of 
1936, as amended (7 U.S.C. 901 et seq.), and 7 CFR chapter XVII. RUS 
provides certain technical assistance to borrowers when necessary to aid 
the development of rural electric service and to protect loan security.
