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.

Corporation, and Administrator, Farm 

Service Agency.

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

[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repealed the requirement in section 703 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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. Subsequently, the Board 

published Rules of Organization and 

Procedure describing the purposes and 

objectives of the CAC, governing the 

appointment of CAC members and
