1Farm Credit System bank includes Farm Credit 

Banks, Banks for Cooperatives, and Agricultural 

Credit Banks. 

System and adopts a policy for trade 

names and names of subsidiaries. 

Official Names 

The FCA Board will approve an 

official name for a Farm Credit System 

bank,1 association, or service 

corporation that meets the following 

two requirements: 

• The name includes appropriate 

identification of the institution as a 

System institution; and 

• The name is not misleading or 

inappropriate. 

• Appropriate identification means 

the name contains either 1) the relevant 

statutory or regulatory designation, or 

its corresponding acronym, or 2) other 

appropriate identification as a System 

institution. Relevant statutory and 

regulatory designations, and their 

corresponding acronyms, are as follows: 

• Agricultural Credit Bank or ACB. 

• Bank for Cooperatives or BC. 

• Farm Credit Bank or FCB. 

• Agricultural Credit Association or 

ACA. 

• Production Credit Association or 

PCA. 

• Federal Land Credit Association or 

FLCA. 

• Federal Land Bank Association or 

FLBA. 

Other appropriate identification as a 

System institution includes the 

following: 

• Farm Credit Services. 

• Farm Credit. 

• FCS. 

• A member of the Farm Credit 

System. 

Misleading names are those that a 

reasonable person might find confusing. 

For example, we would not issue a 

charter to an institution requesting a 

name that is the same as or similar to 

that of an existing institution because 

the public might find this confusing. 

Merely avoiding identical names is not 

enough; to minimize confusion, a 

proposed name must sufficiently 

distinguish an institution from other 

institutions. If the Agency had approved 

a charter for an institution using 

MyTown, ACA, as its official name, it 

would not issue a charter for an 

institution proposing ACA of MyTown 

or MyTown Farm Credit Services, ACA, 

as its official name. Nor would we issue 

a charter with the phrase ‘‘farm credit 

association’’ as part of the official name, 

because the inevitable use of the 

acronym ‘‘FCA’’ would be confused 

with the name of the Agency. Also, we 

would not approve a name for an 

institution that could cause the public 

to confuse that institution’s authorities 

and services with those of a commercial 

bank, thrift institution, or credit union. 

For example, we would not issue a 

charter to a System institution 

requesting the term ‘‘national bank’’ in 

its official name because this could 

cause confusion regarding the services 

the institution may offer. 

Trade Names 

A System institution may use a trade 

name. The trade name may not be 

misleading. If an institution uses a trade 

name, it must use both the official and 

trade names in all written 

communications. 

Related Issues 

If an ACA and its subsidiaries operate 

under substantially different names, 

they must clearly identify the parent/ 

subsidiary relationship in all written 

communications. For example, if 

MyTown, PCA, is a subsidiary of 

EveryTown, ACA, the PCA must 

identify itself as a subsidiary of the 

parent ACA in its written 

communications. 

Please note that while the FCA cannot 

reserve names, the Patent and 

Trademark Office will register names 

under certain conditions. When 

applying for a name change or new 

charter, System institutions should 

submit a statement indicating whether 

they have applied for a trademark in 

that name. 

This statement addresses only FCA’s 

policy. Other laws, such as Federal or 

state trademark laws, may apply. 

Institutions should ensure that their 

official and trade names do not infringe 

the trademarks or service marks of other 

companies. Institutions may wish to 

consult legal counsel to determine 

whether their proposed names could be 

challenged or protected under state or 

federal law.

Proposed Project 

2005 Lead Disclosure Rule Public 

Awareness Survey—New—National 

Center for Environmental Health 

(NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The proposed 2005 Lead Disclosure 

Rule Public Awareness Survey will 

assess small and medium-sized rental 

property owners’ self-reported 

awareness of and compliance with the 

Lead Disclosure Rule. The Lead 

Disclosure Rule requires property 

owners to disclose to prospective 

tenants and buyers the presence of lead 

paint and lead-based paint hazards in 

residential properties built before 1978, 

if known by the owners. The rule was 

published under the authority of Title X 

of the Housing and Community 

Development Act of 1992 by the 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development (HUD) at 24 CFR part 35, 

subpart A, and by the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) at 40 CFR part 

745, subpart F. 

Childhood lead poisoning, while on 

the decline, remains a threat to the 

health and well-being of young children 

across the United States. In accordance 

with the Healthy People 2010 goal to 

‘‘eliminate elevated blood lead levels in 

children,’’ there is a need for primary 

prevention of childhood lead poisoning. 

Primary prevention is the removal of 

lead hazards from a child’s environment 

before the child is exposed. Ensuring 

compliance with the Lead Disclosure 

Rule is one component of a primary 

prevention strategy. 

The U.S. Department of Justice, HUD, 

and EPA, in partnership with local 

health, housing, and law enforcement 

agencies have completed more than 34 

enforcement settlements under the Lead 

Disclosure Rule. As a result, they have 

obtained commitments from property 

owners to test and abate lead-based 

paint hazards in their high-risk rental 

housing units. HUD has requested the 

assistance of the Lead Poisoning 

Prevention Branch at CDC to design and 

implement an evaluation of their 

enforcement efforts. 

As part of this evaluation effort, CDC 

is interested in the perception of the 

Lead Disclosure Rule by sectors of the 

property owner population that have 

been targeted less often for enforcement 

of the rule. This survey of rental 

property owners who own fewer than 50 

rental units will be the first effort of its 

kind to capture this particular 

population’s self-reported awareness of 

and compliance with the Lead 

Disclosure Rule. 

The survey will be administered in 

four U.S. cities during 2005 and 2006. 

Two of the cities will be involved in a 

compliance assistance and enforcement 

intervention by HUD. The other two 

cities will be control cities (without 

such an intervention). For all four cities, 

CDC will conduct a cross sectional, 

‘‘before and after’’ study design. Each 

respondent will be surveyed only once, 

and participation is voluntary. 

Respondents will be asked to 

complete a brief written survey and 

return the survey anonymously via the 

addressed, stamped envelope that CDC 

will provide. There is no cost to 

respondents except the time to complete 

the survey. The estimated total burden 

hours are 250.
