SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 16, 2008, the Farm Credit 
Administration published a proposed rule on Rural Community Investments 
(73 FR 33931). We received over 10,000 comment letters providing 
support for or opposition to the proposed rule. After review and 
consideration of the proposed rule, we have decided to withdraw it. We 
will continue to review mission-related investments and may issue a 
proposed rule in the future if we determine that a rule of general 
applicability is appropriate. For related information on this topic, 
interested parties may visit our Web site at www.fca.gov under the News

    Dated: January 15, 2014.

Secretary, Farm Credit Administration Board.
