This bill allows the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) to examine low-risk Farm Credit System institutions every 24 months. Specifically, FCA has the sole discretion to extend the currently mandated 18-month examination period for all institutions to 24 months for low-risk institutions.
FCA regulates the Farm Credit System, which is a network of borrower-owned lending institutions that operates as a government-sponsored enterprise and makes loans to creditworthy farmers.
