The Farm Credit Administration (FCA or we) issued a final rule that amends its investment regulations to authorize Farm Credit System (FCS or System) associations to purchase in the secondary market and hold as investments, portions of loans that non-FCS lenders originate, and that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) fully and unconditionally guarantees or insures as to the timely payment of principal and interest. In accordance with statute, the effective date of the final rule is no earlier than 30 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register during which either or both House of Congress are in session.
