Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation Funding and Fiscal Affairs; Risk-Based Capital Requirements
Document Number: E7-18014
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2007-09-13
Agency: Farm Credit Administration, Agencies and Commissions
The Farm Credit Administration (FCA, Agency, us, or we) adopts a proposed rule that would amend regulations governing the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (Farmer Mac or the Corporation). We propose to update the model in response to recent additions to Farmer Mac's program operations that are not addressed in the current version of the model. We propose to amend the current model's assumption regarding the carrying cost of nonperforming loans to better reflect Farmer Mac's actual business practices. We further propose to add a new component to the model to recognize counterparty risk on nonprogram investments through application of discounts or ``haircuts'' to the yields of those investments and to make technical amendments to the layout of the model's Credit Loss Module. The effect of the rule is to update the model so that it continues to appropriately reflect risk in a manner consistent with statutory requirements for calculating Farmer Mac's regulatory minimum capital level.
