SUMMARY: The Farm Credit Administration (FCA) published a final rule
under parts 611, 615, 620 and 627 on July 22, 1998 (63 FR 39219). The
final rule amends the capital adequacy and related regulations to
address: interest rate risk; the grounds for appointing a conservator
or receiver; capital and bylaw requirements for service corporations;
and various computational issues and other issues involving the capital
regulations. The rule adds safety and soundness requirements deferred
from prior rulemakings, provides greater consistency with capital
requirements of other financial regulators, and makes technical
corrections. In accordance with 12 U.S.C. 2252, the effective date of
the final rule is 30 days from the date of publication in the Federal
Register during which either or both Houses of Congress are in session.
Based on the records of the sessions of Congress, the effective date of
the regulations is September 14, 1998.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The regulation amending 12 CFR parts 611, 615, 620 and
627 published on July 22, 1998 (63 FR 39219) is effective September 14,
1998.
