Unified Agenda
12 CFR Ch. VI
AGENCY:
Farm Credit Administration.
ACTION:
Semiannual regulatory agenda.
SUMMARY:
The Farm Credit Administration (FCA), as an independent regulatory agency, in compliance with Executive Order 12866, sets forth the following agenda of regulations, which it will have under development and review during the period of April 2002 through October 2002.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cindy R. Nicholson, Technical Editor, Regulation and Policy Division, Office of Policy and Analysis, Farm Credit Administration, 1501 Farm Credit Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102, (703) 883-4498, TDD (703) 883-4444.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) contains several provisions intended to reduce unnecessary and disproportionate regulatory requirements on small entities. FCA regulations, which apply to Farm Credit banks and associations, generally do not and will not have a substantial impact on "small entities" as that term is defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FCA, as an independent regulatory agency, is exempt from certain provisions of Executive Order 12866. It participates in this joint publication to further the public interest by including the FCA in a single source of information concerning current and projected rulemaking and reviews of existing regulations, pursuant to section 4 of Executive Order 12866.
Dated:
March 15, 2002.
Kelly Mikel Williams, Secretary, Farm Credit Administration Board.
