Upon receipt of a request filed pursuant to § 2205.2, the Department shall review the request to determine if the cash, interest-bearing stocks and bonds, notes debentures or other obligations the applicant proposes to use as a security device in lieu of a bond are issued or guaranteed by the United States or the District of Columbia or an agency or instrumentality of the United States or the District of Columbia. In addition, the Department shall determine if just and reasonable cause exists for a substitute deposit and if a substitute deposit pursuant to § 2205.2 would be consistent with the purposes of the Act.
