Resumo

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA, agency, us, or we) proposes to amend its regulations governing other financing institutions (OFIs) and investments in Farmers' notes so it would be easier for Farm Credit System (FCS, Farm Credit, or System) institutions and non-System lenders to work together in providing affordable credit to agriculture and rural America. In addition, the proposed rule would remove provisions in the existing OFI and Farmers' notes regulations that: Impede the flow of credit; are not required by law; or do not enhance safe and sound operations. The FCA also proposes related amendments to its capital regulations.
