While not
required by law, the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has
determined that reissuance of an
agency’s EEO policy statement each
fiscal year is a symbol of the agency
leadership’s commitment to EEO and
Diversity principles. The FCA
conducted its annual review of Policy
Statement FCA–PS–62 on Equal
Employment Opportunity (EEO) and
Diversity. The policy has been slightly
edited at EEOC’s recommendation to
indicate that FCA begins prompt,
thorough, and impartial investigations
within 10 days of receiving notice of
harassment allegations.
The text of the updated Policy
Statement is set forth below in its
entirety. All FCA Board policy
statements may be viewed on FCA’s
Web site. From www.fca.gov, select
‘‘Laws & Regulations,’’ then select ‘‘FCA
Handbook,’’ then select ‘‘FCA Board
Policy Statements.’’

Credit Administration Board hereby
adopts the following policy statement:
Purpose
The Farm Credit Administration (FCA
or Agency) Board reaffirms its
commitment to Equal Employment
Opportunity (EEO) and Diversity
(EEOD) and its belief that all FCA
employees should be treated with
dignity and respect. The Board also
provides guidance to Agency
management and staff for deciding and
taking action in these critical areas.
Importance
Unquestionably, the employees who
comprise the FCA are its most important
resource. The Board fully recognizes
that the Agency draws its strength from
the dedication, experience, and
diversity of its employees. The Board is
firmly committed to taking whatever
steps are needed to protect the rights of
its staff and to carrying out programs
that foster the development of each
employee’s potential. We believe an
investment in efforts that strongly
promote EEOD will prevent the conflict
and the high costs of correction for
taking no, or inadequate, action in these
areas.
