In order to facilitate the financing of projects that provide for new telecommunications services and other telecommunications services not ordinarily financed by the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), the agency is willing to consider accommodating the Government's lien on telecommunications borrowers' systems in an expedited manner based on the financial strength of the borrowers operations. The information collected for lien accommodation requests is used by RUS to ascertain a borrower's level of financial stability and, upon agency approval of the lien accommodation, ensures the government's loan security interest is protected.
