RIN 3052-AD44


Bank Liquidity Reserve

AGENCY: Farm Credit Administration.

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking; extension of comment 
period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Farm Credit Administration (FCA or we) is extending the 
comment period on its Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) 
that seeks comment from the public about whether and how FCA should 
revise its liquidity regulatory framework for Farm Credit System 
(System) banks. FCA is extending the comment period for an additional 
60 days, until November 27, 2021, so interested parties will have 
additional time to provide comments on the ANPRM.

DATES: The comment period for the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
on Bank Liquidity Reserves, published on June 30, 2021 (86 FR 34645), 
is extended from September 28, 2021, to November 27, 2021.

ADDRESSES: For accuracy and efficiency reasons, please submit comments 
by email or through FCA's website. We do not accept comments submitted 
by facsimiles (fax), as faxes are difficult for us to process and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 30, 2021, FCA published an ANPRM in 
the Federal Register seeking public comment on whether and how we 
should amend our liquidity regulations for System banks so they can 
better withstand crises that adversely impact liquidity and pose risks 
to their viability. The comment period is currently scheduled to close 
on September 28, 2021. See 86 FR 34645. On July 28, 2021, FCA received 
a request to extend the comment period for an additional 60 days. FCA 
is granting this request, and accordingly, the comment period is 
extended until November 27, 2021.

    Dated: August 30, 2021.
Dale Aultman,
Secretary, Farm Credit Administration Board.
