{"abstract":"The Farm Credit Administration (FCA or we) is adopting a final rule that amends the regulatory capital requirements for Farm Credit System (System or FCS) institutions. These amendments clarify certain provisions in the Tier 1/Tier 2 Capital Framework final rule that became effective in 2017 (2017 Capital Rule) and codify the guidance provided in FCA Bookletter--BL-068--Tier 1/Tier 2 Capital Framework Guidance. This final rule also includes revisions to the regulatory capital rules to reduce administrative burden for System institutions and the FCA. Lastly, to maintain comparability in our regulatory capital requirements, we are amending certain definitions pertaining to qualified financial contracts in conformity with changes adopted by the Federal banking regulatory agencies.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FARM CREDIT ADMINISTRATION","name":"Farm Credit Administration","id":154,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/farm-credit-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/154","parent_id":null,"slug":"farm-credit-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2021/10/01/2021-20433.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"614","title":12},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"615","title":12},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"620","title":12},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"628","title":12}],"citation":"86 FR 54347","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The regulation shall become effective January 1, 2022, or 30 days after publication in the Federal Register during which either or both houses of Congress are in session, whichever is later.
