FARM CREDIT ADMINISTRATION

12 CFR Parts 602, 618, and 621

RIN 3052-AC76


Releasing Information; General Provisions; Accounting and 
Reporting Requirements; Reports of Accounts and Exposures

AGENCY: Farm Credit Administration.

ACTION: Notice of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Farm Credit Administration (FCA or we) adopted a final 
rule to establish a regulatory framework for the reliable, timely, 
accurate, and complete reporting of Farm Credit System (System) 
accounts and exposures for examination activities and risk evaluation. 
The final rule specifies the reporting requirements and performance 
responsibilities, including, but not limited to, establishing uniform 
and standard data fields to be collected from all System institutions 
and a disciplined and secure delivery of information. The final rule 
authorizes a Reporting Entity (defined as the Federal Farm Credit Banks 
Funding Corporation or an entity approved by FCA), to collect data from 
all banks and associations and serve as the central data repository 
manager. Additionally, the final rule requires all banks and 
associations to provide data to the Reporting Entity to facilitate the 
collection, enhancement, and reporting of data to FCA. In accordance 
with the law, the effective date of the rule is 30 days from the date 
of publication in the Federal Register during which either or both 
Houses of Congress are in session.

DATES: 
    Effective date: Under the authority of 12 U.S.C. 2252, the 
regulation amending 12 CFR parts 602, 618, and 621 published on 
December 24, 2013 (78 FR 77557), is effective February 21, 2014.
    Compliance Date: All provisions of this regulation require 
compliance on the effective date, except the Reporting Entity's 
requirements under Sec.  621.15(b)(1) through (6). We are delaying 
compliance with these requirements to allow for the development of and 
transition to the System's central data repository. We will publish the 
compliance date for these requirements in the Federal Register.
