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:

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.
