government’s efforts to strengthen 

sanctions against Iran, the Act contains 

language prohibiting Ex-Im Bank from: 

Authoriz[ing] any new guarantee, 

insurance, or extension of credit for any 

project controlled by an energy producer or 

refiner that continues to: (A) provide Iran 

with significant refined petroleum resources; 

(B) materially contribute to Iran’s capability 

to import refined petroleum resources; or (C) 

allow Iran to maintain or expand, in any 

material respect, its domestic production of 

refined petroleum resources, including any 

assistance in refinery construction, 

modernization, or repair. 

See Sec. 7043 of the Act. 

The Act is effectively immediately 

and applies to all authorizations Ex-Im 

Bank may make with FY2010 funds.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Objective 

Our objective in publishing the 

Agreement is to seek public comment 

on the Agreement before the FCA Board 

determines whether or not to approve it. 

II. Background 

System associations obtain funding by 

means of direct loans from their 

affiliated Farm Credit Banks or 

Agricultural Credit Bank (collectively, 

System Banks or Banks). The Banks in 

turn obtain their funding primarily by 

issuing System-wide obligations to 

investors through the Funding 

Corporation.1 The Banks’ authority to 

issue System-wide obligations is 

provided in section 4.2(d) of the Farm 

Credit Act of 1971, as amended (Act).2

Section 4.2(c) of the Act also authorizes 

the Banks to obtain funding by issuing 

consolidated obligations with other 

Banks operating under the same title of 

the Act, but all of the System’s joint 

funding at the present time is through 

System-wide obligations. Consolidated 

and System-wide obligations (also 

referred to as insured obligations) are 

insured by the Farm Credit System 

Insurance Corporation (FCSIC) using
