Permanent Capital Revisions

Lokale automatische Übersetzung · Originalsprache der Quelle

Zusammenfassung

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA or we) requests comments on a proposed rule for Farm Credit System (System) banks and associations that would reduce the burden of calculating permanent capital and minimize potential confusion about its use in evaluating the safety and soundness of System institutions. Specifically, the proposed rule would remove references to permanent capital in shareholder and investor reporting regulations as well as in certain other regulations. It would also simplify the calculation of the permanent capital ratio and make other clarifications, corrections, and updates to capital-related regulations.

Assessment and Apportionment of Administrative Expenses

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA, we, or Agency) seeks comments on this proposed rule to amend the regulations that implement provisions of the Act relating to assessments. The Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended (Act) requires FCA to apportion the amount of the assessments among the System institutions on a basis that the agency determines to be equitable. We propose to revise the assessment formula to account for the size and structure of the System as it exists today and to bring the assessment formula closer to the degree of proportionality that existed when the rule became effective. The proposed changes would reapportion the total assessment among individual System banks and associations to further support cooperative and System principles. The proposed changes impact FCA's current assessment of System banks and associations and do not impact FCA's assessment of other System and non-System entities outlined in Part 607. The proposed changes also do not impact FCA's annual administrative expenses or budget.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA, we, or Agency) is seeking comments on this proposed rule to amend the reporting regulations to require Farm Credit System (System) associations that meet certain asset thresholds or conditions, as well as all System banks, to obtain annual attestation reports from their external auditors that express an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), are made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS) as promulgated by the American Institute for Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's ("PCAOB") auditing standards, and accompany management's assessment and be included with the System Institution's annual report (these attestation reports are hereinafter referred to as "Attestation Reports"). The proposed rule would also require Attestation Reports obtained by the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation (Funding Corporation) be made in accordance with GAAS.

Loan Policies and Operations

The purpose of the proposed rule is to increase direct lender associations' Young, Beginning, and Small farmer and rancher (YBS) activity and reinforce the supervisory responsibilities of the funding banks, authorized by section 4.19 of the Farm Credit Act. The proposed rule requires direct lender associations to adopt an independent strategic plan for their YBS program. The direct lender association's funding bank will approve each YBS strategic plan, annually. The direct lender association's YBS strategic plan must contain specific elements that will be evaluated as part of a rating system to measure year-over- year internal progress. The rating system will enable the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) to compare the success of the direct lender association's extension of credit and services to the YBS borrowing population to its peers both within and outside its bank district.

Conservators and Receivers

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA, we, our) proposes a rule to update, restructure and reorganize our regulations that govern the appointment of the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (FCSIC) as the conservator or receiver of Farm Credit System (FCS or System) banks, associations, service corporations, and the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation (Funding Corporation). This proposed rule also ensures that FCA conservatorship and receivership regulations are consistent with section 5412 of the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill), which strengthens, updates, and clarifies FCSIC's powers as the conservator or receiver of these FCS institutions. Additionally, we propose consolidating and reorganizing our conservatorship and receivership regulations so they are easier to understand and use. The proposed rule makes conforming amendments to definitional regulations to clarify that bridge System banks are not subject to FCA regulations that apply to other System institutions, pursuant to new section 5.61C(h) of the Act, which expressly exempts bridge banks from certain legal requirements.

Statement on Regulatory Burden

This document is part of the Farm Credit Administration's (FCA, our, or we) initiative to reduce regulatory burden for Farm Credit System (FCS or System) institutions, including the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (Farmer Mac). Several System institutions responded to our 2022 request for comments by identifying regulations they considered unnecessary, unduly burdensome or costly, duplicative of other requirements, outmoded, insufficient, ineffective, or not based on law, and this document responds to those comments.

Loans to Similar Entities

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA, our, or we) issues this advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM), so interested members of the public may have the opportunity to provide input on how FCA should amend pivotal aspects of its similar entity lending regulations. More specifically, we are focusing on whether and how these regulations could better implement statutory provisions requiring similar entities to engage in activities that are "functionally similar" to the activities of eligible borrowers. We also seek comments about how FCA can ensure that our similar entity regulations are more closely aligned with the Farm Credit System's (FCS or System) statutory mission to serve agriculture, aquaculture, and specific activities in rural America. Additionally, we request comments pertaining to the determination of whether an entity, or entities within a corporate family can simultaneously qualify as both an eligible borrower and similar entity, as well as on the use of "other extensions of credit" and "other technical and financial assistance" within the similar entity lending authority. We intend to use the comments that we receive from this ANPRM to craft a proposed rule to enh
