FARM CREDIT ADMINISTRATION

Equal Employment Opportunity and 

Diversity 

AGENCY: Farm Credit Administration. 

ACTION: Policy statement. 

SUMMARY: The Farm Credit 

Administration (FCA) Board recently 

updated its Policy Statement on Equal 

Employment Opportunity and Diversity. 

DATES: Effective Date: August 8, 2016. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Thais Burlew, Director of Equal 

Employment Opportunity and 

Inclusion, Farm Credit Administration,

TTY (703) 883–4352. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: While not 

required by law, the Equal Employment 

Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has 

determined that reissuance of an 

agency’s EEO policy statement each 

fiscal year is a symbol of the agency 

leadership’s commitment to EEO and 

Diversity principles. The FCA 

conducted its annual review of Policy 

Statement FCA–PS–62 on Equal 

Employment Opportunity (EEO) and 

Diversity. The policy has been slightly 

edited at EEOC’s recommendation to 

indicate that FCA begins prompt, 

thorough, and impartial investigations 

within 10 days of receiving notice of 

harassment allegations. 

The text of the updated Policy 

Statement is set forth below in its 

entirety. All FCA Board policy 

statements may be viewed on FCA’s 

Web site. From www.fca.gov, select 

‘‘Laws & Regulations,’’ then select ‘‘FCA 

Handbook,’’ then select ‘‘FCA Board 

Policy Statements.’’

(Improving Access to Services for 

Persons with Limited English 

Proficiency); 29 CFR part 1614; Equal 

Employment Opportunity Commission 

Management Directives. The Farm 

Credit Administration Board hereby 

adopts the following policy statement: 

Purpose 

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA 

or Agency) Board reaffirms its 

commitment to Equal Employment 

Opportunity (EEO) and Diversity 

(EEOD) and its belief that all FCA 

employees should be treated with 

dignity and respect. The Board also 

provides guidance to Agency 

management and staff for deciding and 

taking action in these critical areas. 

Importance 

Unquestionably, the employees who 

comprise the FCA are its most important 

resource. The Board fully recognizes 

that the Agency draws its strength from 

the dedication, experience, and 

diversity of its employees. The Board is 

firmly committed to taking whatever 

steps are needed to protect the rights of 

its staff and to carrying out programs 

that foster the development of each 

employee’s potential. We believe an 

investment in efforts that strongly 

promote EEOD will prevent the conflict 

and the high costs of correction for 

taking no, or inadequate, action in these 

areas.
