         This chapter contains descriptions of the data on the Government-sponsored enterprises listed below. These enterprises were
            established and chartered by the Federal Government for public policy purposes. They are not included in the Federal Budget
            because they are private companies, and their securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of the Federal Government.
            However, because of their public purpose, detailed statements of financial condition are presented, to the extent such information
            is available, on a basis that is as consistent as practicable with the basis for the budget data of Government agencies.

         The Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) is a Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) in the housing finance market.
            As a housing GSE, Fannie Mae is a federally chartered, shareholder-owned, private company with a public mission to provide
            stability in and increase the liquidity of the residential mortgage market and to help increase the availability of mortgage
            credit to low- and moderate-income families and in underserved areas. Fannie Mae engages primarily in two forms of business:
            guaranteeing residential mortgage securities and investing in portfolios of residential mortgages.
         
         Fannie Mae was established in 1938 to assist private markets in providing a steady supply of funds for housing. Fannie Mae
            was originally a subsidiary of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and was permitted to purchase only loans insured by
            the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). In 1954, Fannie Mae was restructured as a mixed ownership (part government, part
            private) corporation. Legislation directed the sale of the Government's remaining interest in Fannie Mae in 1968 and completed
            the transformation to private shareholder ownership in 1970.
         
         The Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008 reformed housing GSE regulation by creating the Federal Housing Finance
            Agency (FHFA), a new independent regulator, and providing temporary authority for the U.S. Department of the Treasury to purchase
            obligations of the housing GSEs. On September 6, 2008, FHFA placed Fannie Mae under Federal conservatorship in response to
            the GSEs' declining capital adequacy and to support the safety and soundness of the GSEs. On the following day, the U.S. Department
            of the Treasury entered into a Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (PSPA) with Fannie Mae to make investments of up
            to $100 billion in senior preferred stock as required to maintain positive equity. In May 2009, Treasury increased the funding
            commitments for the PSPA to $200 billion and in December 2009, Treasury modified the funding commitments in the PSPA to the
            greater of $200 billion or $200 billion plus cumulative net worth deficits experienced during 2010â2012, less any surplus
            remaining as of December 31, 2012. Based on the financial results reported by Fannie Mae as of December 31, 2012, and under
            the terms of the PSPA, the cumulative funding commitment cap for Fannie Mae was set at $233.7 billion. As of December 31,
            2017, Fannie Mae had received $116.1 billion under the PSPA (based on publicly available information as of year-end 2017,
            this amount is expected to increase by approximately $4.7 billion in 2018 due to an accounting-related write-down of deferred
            tax assets resulting from the enactment of tax reform legislation), and had made a total of $166.4 billion in dividend payments
            to Treasury on the senior preferred stock. The Budget continues to reflect the GSEs as non-budgetary entities, though their
            status will continue to be reviewed. All of the current federal assistance being provided to Fannie Mae, including the PSPA,
            is shown on-budget. For additional discussion and analyses of Fannie Mae, please see the Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget documents.

         Prior to January 1, 2010, the mortgages in the pools of loans supporting the mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by Fannie
            Mae were considered to be owned by the holders of these securities according to the accounting standards for private corporations.
            Consequently, on the books of Fannie Mae, these mortgages were not considered assets and the securities outstanding were not
            considered liabilities. New accounting standards implemented on January 1, 2010, require consolidation of many, but not all,
            of these securities in Fannie Mae's financial statements. For the purposes of the Budget they are presented as direct loans
            for mortgage-backed securities. "Disbursements" and "Repayments" are budgetary terms. These items are reported by Fannie Mae
            as "Issuances" and "Liquidations," respectively.

         The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) is a Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) in the housing finance
            market. As a housing GSE, Freddie Mac is a federally chartered, shareholder-owned, private company with a public mission to
            provide stability in and increase the liquidity of the residential mortgage market, and to help increase the availability
            of mortgage credit to low- and moderate-income families and in underserved areas. Freddie Mac engages primarily in two forms
            of business: guaranteeing residential mortgage securities and investing in portfolios of residential mortgages.
         
         Freddie Mac was established in 1970 under the Emergency Home Finance Act. The Congress chartered Freddie Mac to provide mortgage
            lenders with an organized national secondary market enabling them to manage their conventional mortgage portfolio more effectively
            and gain indirect access to a ready source of additional funds to meet new demands for mortgages. Freddie Mac serves as a
            conduit facilitating the flow of investment dollars from the capital markets to mortgage lenders, and ultimately, to homebuyers.
         
         The Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008 reformed housing GSE regulation by creating the Federal Housing Finance
            Agency (FHFA), a new independent regulator, and provided temporary authority for the U.S. Department of the Treasury to purchase
            obligations of the housing GSEs. On September 6, 2008, FHFA placed Freddie Mac under Federal conservatorship in response to
            the GSEs' declining capital adequacy and to support the safety and soundness of the GSEs. On the following day, the U.S. Department
            of the Treasury entered into a Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (PSPA) with Freddie Mac to make investments of up
            to $100 billion in senior preferred stock as required to maintain positive equity. In May 2009, Treasury increased the funding
            commitments for the PSPA to $200 billion and in December 2009, Treasury modified the funding commitments in the PSPA to the
            greater of $200 billion or $200 billion plus cumulative net worth deficits experienced during 2010â2012, less any surplus
            remaining as of December 31, 2012. Based on the financial results reported by Freddie Mac as of December 31, 2012, and under
            the terms of the PSPA, the cumulative funding commitment cap for Freddie Mac was set at $211.8 billion. As of December 31,
            2017, Freddie Mac had received $71.3 billion under the PSPA (based on publicly available information as of year-end 2017,
            this amount is expected to increase by approximately $0.4 billion in 2018 due to an accounting-related write-down of deferred
            tax assets resulting from the enactment of tax reform legislation), and had made a total of $112.4 billion in dividend payments
            to Treasury on the senior preferred stock. The Budget continues to reflect the GSEs as non-budgetary entities, though their
            status will continue to be reviewed. All of the current federal assistance being provided to Freddie Mac, including the PSPA,
            is shown on-budget. For additional discussion and analyses of Freddie Mac, please see the Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget documents.

         Prior to January 1, 2010, the mortgages in the pools of loans supporting the mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by Freddie
            Mac were considered to be owned by the holders of these securities according to the accounting standards for private corporations.
            Consequently, on the books of Freddie Mac, these mortgages were not considered assets and the securities outstanding were
            not considered liabilities. New accounting standards implemented on January 1, 2010, require consolidation of many, but not
            all, of these securities in Freddie Mac's financial statements. For the purposes of the Budget, they are presented as direct
            loans for mortgage-backed securities. "Disbursements'' and "Repayments'' are budgetary terms. These items are reported by
            Freddie Mac as "Issuances" and "Liquidations," respectively.

         The Federal Home Loan Bank System is a Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) in the housing finance market. The Federal Home
            Loan Banks were chartered by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board under the authority of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932
            (Act). The 11 Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) are under the supervision of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), established
            by the Congress in 2008. The common mission of FHLBanks is to facilitate the extension of credit through their members. To
            accomplish this mission, FHLBanks make loans, called "advances", and provide other credit products and services to their over
            7,000 member commercial banks, savings associations, insurance companies, and credit unions. Advances and letters of credit
            must be fully secured by eligible collateral, and long-term advances may be made only for the purpose of providing funds for
            residential housing finance. However, "community financial institutions'' may also use long-term advances to finance small
            businesses, small farms, and small agribusinesses. Additionally, specialized advance programs provide funds for community
            reinvestment and affordable housing programs. All regulated financial depositories, certified community development financial
            institutions, and insurance companies engaged in residential housing finance are eligible for membership, and must meet other
            requirements in the Act to obtain membership. Each FHLBank operates in a geographic district and together FHLBanks cover all
            of the United States, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the
            Northern Mariana Islands. The principal source of funds for the lending operation is the sale of consolidated obligations
            to the public. The consolidated obligations are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government as to principal or interest. Other sources
            of lendable funds include members' deposits and capital. Funds not immediately needed for advances to members are invested.
            The capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Banks is owned entirely by the members. Initially the U.S. Government purchased
            stock of the banks in the amount of $125 million. The banks had repurchased the Government's investment in full by mid-1951.
            The Act, as amended in 1989, requires each FHLBank to operate an Affordable Housing Program (AHP). Each FHLBank provides subsidies
            in the form of direct grants or below-market rate advances for members that use the funds for qualifying affordable housing
            projects. Each of the FHLBanks must set aside annually 10 percent of its previous year's net earnings, subject to an aggregate
            minimum of $100 million, for the AHP. The Act, as amended in 1999, also required that FHLBanks contribute 20 percent of net
            earnings annually to assist in the payment of interest on bonds issued by the Resolution Funding Corporation until such time
            as the total payments are equivalent to a $300 million annual annuity with a final maturity date of April 15, 2030. The FHLBanks
            fulfilled this obligation on August 5, 2011. For additional discussion and analyses of the FHLBanks, please see the Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget.

         The Farm Credit System (System) is a Government-sponsored enterprise that provides privately financed credit to agricultural
            and rural communities. The major functional entities of the System are (1) the Agricultural Credit Bank (ACB); (2) the Farm
            Credit Banks (FCBs); and (3) the direct-lender associations. Farmer Mac, which is also an institution of the System, is discussed
            separately below. The history and specific functions of the bank entities are discussed after the presentation of financial
            schedules for each bank entity. As part of the System, these entities are regulated and examined by the Farm Credit Administration
            (FCA), an independent Federal agency. The administrative costs of FCA are financed by assessments on System institutions,
            including Farmer Mac. System banks finance loans primarily from sales of bonds to the public and their own capital funds.
            The System bonds issued by the banks are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government as to either principal or interest. The bonds
            are backed by an insurance fund, administered by the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (FCSIC), an independent Federal
            agency that collects insurance premiums from member banks to pay its administrative expenses and fund insurance reserves.
            All of the banks' current operating expenses are paid from their own income and do not require budgetary resources from the
            Federal Government.

         CoBank, ACB, which is headquartered outside Denver, Colorado, provides funding to eligible cooperatives nationwide and Agricultural
            Credit Associations (ACAs) in its chartered district. CoBank, ACB, is the only Agricultural Credit Bank (ACB) in the Farm
            Credit System. The ACB operates under statutory authority that combines the authorities of a Farm Credit Bank (FCB) and a
            Bank for Cooperatives (BC). In exercising its FCB authority, CoBank's charter limits its lending to 22 ACAs located in the
            northeast, central, and western regions of the country. As an entity lending to cooperatives, CoBank is chartered to provide
            credit and related services nationwide to eligible cooperatives primarily engaged in farm supply, grain, marketing, and processing
            (including sugar, dairy, and ethanol). CoBank also makes loans to rural utilities, including telecommunications companies,
            and it provides international loans for the financing of agricultural exports.

         The Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 (1987 Act) required the Federal Land Banks (FLBs) and Federal Intermediate Credit Banks
            (FICBs) to merge into a Farm Credit Bank (FCB) in each of the 12 Farm Credit districts. FCBs operate under statutory authority
            that combines the prior authorities of an FLB and of an FICB. No merger occurred in the Jackson district in 1988 because the
            FLB of Jackson was in receivership. Pursuant to section 410(e) of the 1987 Act, as amended by the Farm Credit Banks Safety
            and Soundness Act of 1992, FICB of Jackson merged with FCB of Columbia on October 1, 1993. Mergers and consolidations of FCBs
            across district lines, which began in 1992, have continued to date. As a result of this restructuring activity, three FCBs,
            headquartered in the following cities, remain as of October 1, 2017: AgFirst Farm Credit Bank, Columbia, South Carolina; AgriBank,
            FCB, St. Paul, Minnesota; and FCB of Texas, Austin, Texas.
         
         FCBs serve as discount banks and, as of October 1, 2017, provided funds to one Federal Land Credit Association (FLCA) and
            46 Agricultural Credit Associations (ACAs). These direct-lender associations, in turn, primarily make short- and intermediate-term
            production loans and long-term real estate loans to eligible farmers and ranchers, farm-related businesses, and rural homeowners.
            FCBs can also lend to other financing institutions, including commercial banks, as authorized by the Farm Credit Act of 1971,
            as amended.
         
         All the capital stock of FICBs, from their organization in 1923 to December 31, 1956, was held by the U.S. Government. The
            Farm Credit Act of 1956 provided a long-range plan for the eventual ownership of the FICBs by the production credit associations
            and the gradual retirement of the Government's investment in the banks. This retirement was accomplished in full on December
            31, 1968. The last of the Government capital that had been invested in FLBs was repaid in 1947.

            Farmer MacFarmer Mac is authorized under the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended by the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 (Act), to create
            a secondary market for agricultural real estate and rural home mortgages. The Farmer Mac title of the Act was amended by the
            1990 farm bill to authorize Farmer Mac to purchase, pool, and securitize the guaranteed portions of farmer program, rural
            business, and community development loans guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Farmer Mac title was
            amended in 1991 to clarify Farmer Mac's authority to issue debt obligations, provide for the establishment of minimum capital
            standards, establish the Office of Secondary Market Oversight at the Farm Credit Administration (FCA), and expand the Agency's
            rulemaking authority. The Farm Credit System Reform Act of 1996 (1996 Act) amended the Farmer Mac title to allow Farmer Mac
            to purchase loans directly from lenders and to issue and guarantee mortgage-backed securities without requiring that a minimum
            cash reserve or subordinated (first loss) interest be maintained by poolers as had been required under its original authority.
            The 1996 Act expanded FCA's regulatory authority to include provisions for establishing a conservatorship or receivership,
            if necessary, and provided for increased core capital requirements at Farmer Mac phased in over three years. Most recently,
            the 2008 Farm Bill, the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 amended the Farmer Mac title to authorize the financing
            of rural electric and telephone cooperatives.
         
         Farmer Mac operates through several programs: the "Farm & Ranch" program involves mortgage loans secured by first liens on
            agricultural real estate, or rural housing (qualified loans); the "USDA guarantees" program involves the guaranteed portions
            of certain USDA-guaranteed loans; and the "Rural Utilities" program involves rural electric and telecommunications loans.
            Farmer Mac operates by (1) purchasing, or committing to purchase, newly originated or existing qualified loans or guaranteed
            portions from lenders; (2) purchasing or guaranteeing "AgVantage'' bonds backed by qualified loans; and (3) exchanging qualified
            loans or guaranteed portions for guaranteed securities. Loans purchased by Farmer Mac may be aggregated into pools that back
            Farmer Mac guaranteed securities, which are held by Farmer Mac or sold into the capital markets.
         
         Farmer Mac is governed by a 15-member Board of Directors. Ten board members are elected by stockholders, including five by
            stockholders that are Farm Credit System (FCS) institutions and five by stockholders that are non-FCS financial services firms.
            Five are appointed by the President, subject to Senate confirmation.
         
            FinancingFinancial support and funding for Farmer Mac's operations come from several sources: sale of common and preferred stock, issuance
            of debt obligations, and income. Under procedures specified in the Act, Farmer Mac may issue obligations to the U.S. Treasury
            in a cumulative amount not to exceed $1.5 billion to fulfill Farmer Mac's guarantee obligations.
         
         As of September 30, 2017, Farmer Mac's core capital exceeded statutory requirements. Additionally, Farmer Mac's regulatory
            capital (core capital plus the allowance for loan losses) exceeded the amount of required regulatory capital as determined
            by the risk-based capital rule.
         
            GuaranteesFarmer Mac provides a guarantee of timely payment of principal and interest on securities backed by qualified loans or pools
            of qualified loans. These securities are not guaranteed by the United States and are not "Government securities."
         
         Farmer Mac is subject to reporting requirements under securities laws, and its guaranteed mortgage-backed securities are subject
            to registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 and 1934 Securities Acts.
         
            RegulationFarmer Mac is federally regulated by FCA, acting through its Office of Secondary Market Oversight (OSMO). FCA is responsible
            for the supervision of, examination of, and rulemaking for Farmer Mac.
