Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 226 / Friday, November 25, 2005 / Notices
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.
Dated this 3rd day of May, 2000.
By Order of the Board.

Acting Secretary, Farm Credit Administration
Board.
Dated: November 17, 2005.

BILLING CODE 6820–EP–S
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.

requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance

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
