Funding and Fiscal Affairs, Loan Policies and Operations, and Funding Operations; Book-Entry Procedures for Farm Credit Securities

Résumé

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA), through the FCA Board (Board), adopts as final with minor technical changes a previously adopted interim rule that revises procedures governing the issuance, maintenance, and transfer of Farm Credit securities on the book-entry system of the Federal Reserve Banks (Book-entry System). This action completes rulemaking necessary to conform FCA book-entry procedures to the recently revised book-entry procedures of the Department of the Treasury (Treasury), which regulates the Book-entry System for Treasury securities. The action simultaneously finalizes conforming amendments in the book-entry regulations governing securities of the Farm Credit System Financial Assistance Corporation (FAC) and the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (Farmer Mac).
