**DATES :**  The comment period for the final rule published August 29, 2014 (79 FR 51453), and effective August 29, 2014, is reopened. We will consider comments that we receive by December 15, 2014.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

On August 29, 2014, CCC and FSA published a final rule titled ‘‘Margin Protection Program for Dairy and Dairy Product Donation Program.’’ The final rule implemented MPP-Dairy and DPDP as authorized in the 2014 Farm Bill (Pub. L. 113–79). FSA will operate both programs using CCC funds.

MPP-Dairy provides dairy producers with risk management coverage that will pay producers when the difference between the price of milk and the cost of feed (the margin) falls below a certain level. Under the related DPDP, which is a complimentary program designed to support producer margins by increasing the price of milk, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will buy dairy products when the margin falls below a certain level, and the USDA Food and Nutrition Service will assist in the distribution of these products to individuals in low-income groups through public and private non-profit organizations.

The final rule requested comments on the topics of intergenerational transfers for MPP-Dairy and cost effective purchases for DPDP. FSA received a comment requesting an extension of the comment period. We have determined that providing an extension of the original comment period will give the public more time to provide input and to make recommendations on the final rule. With this extension, the public may submit comments through December 15, 2014.

Signed on October 17, 2014. Val Dolcini, Executive Vice President, Commodity Credit Corporation, and Administrator, Farm Service Agency.

**FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM**

**12 CFR Part 267**

**[Docket No. OP–1499]**

**Rules of Organization and Procedure of the Consumer Advisory Council** 

**AGENCY :**  Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is repealing its Rules of Organization and Procedure of the Consumer Advisory Council. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act repealed the requirement in section 703 of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act that the Board establish and operate the Consumer Advisory Council (CAC). Consequently, the Board no longer maintains a CAC and the rules of organization and procedure are no longer necessary.

**DATES :**  The final rule is effective October 30, 2014.

Aubrey, Counsel, Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, at (202) 452–3667, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 20th and C Streets NW., Washington, DC 20551.

I. Discussion

In 1976, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) was amended to require the Board to establish a Consumer Advisory Council (CAC) to consult with the Board and provide advice on consumer related matters.
