Title IV Conservators, Receivers, and Voluntary Liquidations; Receivership Repudiation Authorities

요약

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA) is proposing a rule on how the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (FCSIC), as receiver or conservator of a Farm Credit System (System) institution, will treat financial assets transferred by the institution in connection with a securitization or in the form of a participation. The rule would resolve issues raised by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities (SFAS 140). Under conditions described in the rule, the FCSIC will not seek to recover or reclaim certain financial assets in exercising its authority to repudiate or disaffirm contracts pursuant to 12 CFR 627.2725(b)(2), (b)(14) and 627.2780(b) and (d). The proposed rule also provides that the FCSIC will not seek to enforce the "contemporaneous" requirement of section 5.61(d) of the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended (Act) (12 U.S.C. 2277a-10(d)). The proposed rule is substantially identical to receivership rules issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
