    (b) Loan funds may be approved for facilities to serve non-RE Act beneficiaries only if:

    (1) The primary purpose of the loan is to furnish or improve service for RE Act beneficiaries; and

    (2) The use of loan funds to serve non-RE Act beneficiaries is necessary and incidental to the primary purpose of the loan.
