## Abstract

The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) is streamlining its fidelity and insurance requirements for electric and telecommunications systems. The rule was last revised in 1986, and the revisions are intended to update requirements. The rule provides a flexible approach to insurance that protects the government's security interest in mortgaged assets and conforms to today's business practices.
