FCA regulations At FCA, we develop regulations (rules) to implement the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended, and other relevant laws. The primary goal of our regulations is to ensure that the Farm Credit System fulfills its public mission and operates safely and soundly. Like all federal regulations, FCA regulations have the force and effect of law. The Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (ecfr.gov) consists of 50 “titles,” or subject areas. FCA’s regulations are located in Title 12: Banks and Banking, under chapter VI. This chapter consists of Parts 600 through 655, and a link to each part is provided below. After opening one of the parts, you may click on the link to the table of contents above the part number to go directly to any subpart. You may also print out a recently updated copy of the entire part. Historically we maintained the text of our regulations in a database. However, since the eCFR provides our regulations in full and offers more user-friendly printing and linking capabilities, we have transitioned away from maintaining the text of our regulations on our website. If you need assistance searching or printing our regulations from the eCFR, please send an email to [email protected]. **Subchapter A: Administrative Provisions** **Part 600** Organization and Functions **Part 601** Employee Responsibilities and Conduct **Part 602** Releasing Information **Part 603** Privacy Act Regulations **Part 604** Farm Credit Administration Board Meetings **Part 605** Information **Part 606** Enforcement of Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Handicap in Programs or Activities Conducted by the Farm Credit Administration **Part 607** Assessment and Apportionment of Administrative Expenses **Part 608** Collection of Claims Owed the United States **Subchapter B: Farm Credit System** **Part 609** Electronic Commerce **Part 610** Registration of Mortgage Loan Originators **Part 611** Organization **Part 612** Standards of Conduct and Referral of Known or Suspected Criminal Violations **Part 613** Eligibility and Scope of Financing **Part 614** Loan Policies and Operations **Part 615** Funding and Fiscal Affairs, Loan Policies and Operations, and Funding Operations **Part 616** Leasing **Part 617** Borrower Rights **Part 618** General Provisions Subpart A: Related Services List **Part 619** Definitions **Part 620** Disclosure to Shareholders **Part 621** Accounting and Reporting Requirements **Part 622** Rules of Practice and Procedure **Part 623** Practice Before the Farm Credit Administration **Part 624** Margin and Capital Requirements for Covered Swap Entities **Part 625** Application for Award of Fees and Other Expenses Under the Equal Access to Justice Act **Part 626** Nondiscrimination in Lending **Part 627** Title IV Conservators, Receivers, and Voluntary Liquidations **Part 628** Capital Adequacy of System Institutions **Part 630** Disclosure to Investors in Systemwide and Consolidated Bank Debt Obligations of the Farm Credit System **Part 650** Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation General Provisions **Part 651** Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation Governance **Part 652** Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation Funding and Fiscal Affairs **Part 653** Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation Risk Management Part 654 [Reserved] **Part 655** Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation Disclosure and Reporting Requirements Parts 656–699 [Reserved]
