Abstract: The holonomy-flux algebra $A$ of loop quantum gravity is known to admit a natural representation that is uniquely singled out by the requirement of covariance under spatial diffeomorphisms. In the cosmological context, the requirement of spatial homogeneity naturally reduces $A$ to a much smaller algebra, $A_{mRed}$, used in loop quantum cosmology. In Bianchi I models, it is shown that the requirement of covariance under emph{residual} diffeomorphism symmetries again uniquely selects the representation of $A_{mRed}$ that has been commonly used. We discuss the close parallel between the two uniqueness results and also point out a difference.
