Abstract

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA, we, or Agency) seeks comments on this proposed rule to amend the regulations that implement provisions of the Act relating to assessments. The Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended (Act) requires FCA to apportion the amount of the assessments among the System institutions on a basis that the agency determines to be equitable. We propose to revise the assessment formula to account for the size and structure of the System as it exists today and to bring the assessment formula closer to the degree of proportionality that existed when the rule became effective. The proposed changes would reapportion the total assessment among individual System banks and associations to further support cooperative and System principles. The proposed changes impact FCA's current assessment of System banks and associations and do not impact FCA's assessment of other System and non-System entities outlined in Part 607. The proposed changes also do not impact FCA's annual administrative expenses or budget.

Assessment and Apportionment of Administrative Expenses

AGENCY: Farm Credit Administration.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Farm Credit Administration (FCA, we, or Agency) seeks 
comments on this proposed rule to amend the regulations that implement 
provisions of the Act relating to assessments. The Farm Credit Act of 
1971, as amended (Act) requires FCA to apportion the amount of the 
assessments among the System institutions on a basis that the agency 
determines to be equitable. We propose to revise the assessment formula 
to account for the size and structure of the System as it exists today 
and to bring the assessment formula closer to the degree of 
proportionality that existed when the rule became effective. The 
proposed changes would reapportion the total assessment among 
individual System banks and associations to further support cooperative 
and System principles. The proposed changes impact FCA's current 
assessment of System banks and associations and do not impact FCA's 
assessment of other System and non-System entities outlined in Part 
607. The proposed changes also do not impact FCA's annual 
administrative expenses or budget.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be submitted on or before 
June 22, 2026.

ADDRESSES: For accuracy and efficiency, please submit comments by email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Summary of Proposed Objectives and Amendments

    The objective of this proposed rule (the ``Proposed Rule'') is to 
address the apportionment of assessments among System banks and 
associations to account for the size and structure of the System as it 
exists today, including updating the example formula. Additionally, we 
propose two technical

[[Page 21735]]

revisions to remove two references to entities that no longer exist.
    The amendments in the Proposed Rule include changes to the 
regulations set forth in 12 CFR part 607 that:
    <bullet> Revise the definition in Sec.  607.2 for Non-System 
entities to remove the reference to the National Cooperative Bank 
Development Corporation from the regulation given this entity no longer 
exists.
    <bullet> Revise the definition in Sec.  607.2 for Other System 
entities to remove the reference to the Farm Credit Finance Corporation 
of Puerto Rico from the regulation given this entity no longer exists.
    <bullet> In Sec.  607.3(b)(1), increase from thirty (30) percent to 
seventy-five (75) percent the amount of the assessment apportioned to 
each bank, association, and designated other System entities on the 
basis of each institution's pro rata share of the total average risk-
adjusted asset base.
    <bullet> In Sec.  607.3(b)(2):
    [cir] Decrease from seventy (70) percent to twenty-five (25) 
percent the amount of the assessment apportioned to each bank, 
association, and designated other System entity based upon the amounts 
of the institution's average risk-adjusted assets that fall within the 
tiers contained in the table in Sec.  607.3(b)(2).
    [cir] Adjust the average risk-adjusted asset size range (in 
millions) set forth in the table:
    [ssquf] from over ``0 to $25'' to over ``$0 to $900.''
    [ssquf] from over ``$25 to $50'' to over ``$900 to $1,825.''
    [ssquf] from over ``$50 to $100'' to over ``$1,825 to $4,050.''
    [ssquf] from over ``$100 to $500'' to over ``$4,050 to $13,500.''
    [ssquf] from over ``$500 to $1,000'' to over ``$13,500 to 
$19,800.''
    [ssquf] from over ``$1,000 to $7,000'' to over ``$19,800 to 
$85,000.''
    [ssquf] from over ``$7,000 to $10,000'' to over ``$85,000 to 
$120,000.''
    [ssquf] from over ``$10,000'' to over ``$120,000.''
    [cir] Update the example set forth in Sec.  607.3(b)(2) to reflect 
the proposed changes.
    FCA does not propose any changes to the regulations set forth in 12 
CFR 607.1, covering the purpose and scope of Part 607. Furthermore, FCA 
does not propose any changes to the regulations set forth in 12 CFR 
607.4 through 607.11, covering assessment of other System entities, 
processes for notice and payment of assessments, late-payment charges, 
reimbursements for services to non-System entities, reimbursable 
billings, adjustments for overpayment or underpayment of assessments, 
and report of assessments and expenses.

Background

A. Law and Regulation

    FCA's original assessment regulation, which was located at 12 CFR 
618.8230, was promulgated in 1972 before Congress enacted the 
Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 (1987 Act). As explained in the 1993 
preamble, the structural and regulatory changes brought about by the 
1987 Act, which are described below, led FCA to evaluate its process to 
determine whether the assessment regulation remained equitable.\1\ 
Based on this evaluation, FCA concluded the original assessment formula 
should be revised.\2\ In 1992, FCA concluded that negotiated rulemaking 
might provide a creative means to achieve an equitable assessment 
formula. In 1993, based on the negotiated rulemaking committee's 
consensus recommendations, FCA promulgated the current regulation, 12 
CFR part 607 and rescinded the original regulation.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 58 FR 10942 (February 23, 1993).
    \2\ 58 FR 10942 (February 23, 1993).
    \3\ See 58 FR 10942. The negotiated rulemaking committee's 
assessment formula included the concepts of risk and economies of 
scale.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 5.15(a)(2)(A) of the Act requires FCA to apportion the 
amount of the assessments among the System institutions on a basis that 
the agency determines to be equitable. This Proposed Rule, if adopted, 
would update the regulation to address the current composition of 
System banks and associations. Over time, the overall number of System 
banks and associations has significantly decreased; however, the size 
and complexity of the existing banks and associations has increased 
since 1993. The changes outlined in this Proposed Rule do not impact 
the overall total assessment to the System.\4\ The Proposed Rule would 
reapportion assessments among the individual System banks and 
associations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The total assessment to the System is based on FCA's annual 
administrative expenses and budget for System oversight and 
supervision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Definitions Used in the Preamble

    Financial Institution Rating System. FIRS is the rating system 
adopted by the FCA Board in 2011 and used by the FCA examiners for 
evaluating and categorizing the safety and soundness of System 
institutions on an ongoing, uniform and comprehensive basis.
    Average risk-adjusted asset base. This term is defined in Sec.  
607.2 (b). After the implementation of the revised capital framework in 
2017, the original metric of risk-adjusted assets used in the 
assessment apportionment was replaced with risk-weighted assets 
(RWA).\5\ Within this preamble, we use the term ''risk-adjusted 
assets'' for information presented prior to 2017 and the term ``risk-
weighted assets'' for information presented beginning 2017 and 
thereafter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ On January 8, 2026, FCA approved a proposed rule that would 
amend its capital regulations. The proposed rule, if finalized, 
would amend Sec. Sec.  607.2(b) and 607.3(b) by replacing ``average 
risk-adjusted asset base'' with ``average assets'' for consistency 
with other proposed changes to the capital regulations. 91 FR 9760 
(February 27, 2026).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    System institutions. This term is defined in Sec.  607.2(k). While 
Part 607 defines assessment requirements for System and non-System 
entities, this Proposed Rule would impact only System banks and 
associations. Therefore, this preamble's references to System 
institutions include only System banks and associations.

C. Change in the Composition of System Institutions Since 1993

    Over thirty years ago, as of June 30, 1993, there were 259 System 
institutions. The average risk-adjusted assets ranged from 
approximately $137,000 to $8.8 billion.\6\ As of June 30, 2025, there 
were 59 System institutions. The average risk-weighted assets for these 
institutions ranged from $175 million to $103 billion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ As of June 30, 1993, average risk-adjusted assets were 
approximated based upon the March 31, 1993, and June 30, 1993, 
quarter-ends.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    From June 30, 1993, to June 30, 2025, the number of institutions 
declined from 259 to 59 and the average risk-adjusted assets of these 
institutions increased. However, since 1993, not all institutions 
experienced risk-adjusted asset growth at similar rates. As a result of 
the changes to the System, the average risk-weighted assets are 
assessed, in accordance with the methodology in the existing assessment 
regulations, at different proportional rates than when the regulations 
were enacted approximately 30 years ago. Our Proposed Rule would adjust 
the proportionality based on the current levels of average risk-
weighted assets to bring the assessments closer to proportional levels 
experienced when the rule became effective.
    In our analysis as of June 30, 2025, we grouped institutions into 
three primary groups by average risk-weighted asset size: (1) greater 
than $10 billion, (2) $1 to $10 billion, and (3) less than $1 billion. 
For group one, 13 institutions (including all four banks and nine 
associations) reported average risk-weighted assets greater than $10 
billion. This group of institutions held 81.7 percent of the total 
average risk-weighted assets for all institutions.

[[Page 21736]]

However, despite holding over 80 percent of the overall total average 
risk-weighted assets, this group of institutions was only assessed 68.6 
percent of the total assessment for all institutions under the existing 
regulation.
    The second group included 32 institutions and included only 
associations, which reported average risk-weighted assets between $1 
and $10 billion. This group held 16.6 percent of total average risk-
weighted assets. However, this second group of institutions was 
assessed 27.6 percent of the total assessment for all institutions.
    The third group included 14 associations that reported average 
risk-weighted assets of less than $1 billion. This third group held 1.7 
percent of the total average risk-weighted assets However, these 
institutions were assessed 3.8 percent of the total assessment for all 
institutions.
    The institutions reporting lower levels of average risk-adjusted 
assets remain key institutions to the System in serving eligible farmer 
and producer borrowers in their chartered territories. The boards and 
management teams for these associations have indicated to FCA the 
challenges facing their associations, including concerns of 
experiencing an increased proportional assessment of the total 
assessment for institutions.
    In addition to reviewing System structural changes, we analyzed the 
change in assessment apportionment ratios from June 30, 1993 
(assessment year 1994), to June 30, 2025 (assessment year 2026). We 
define the assessment apportionment ratio as the ratio of the 
percentage of assessments for a System institution or group of 
institutions to the percentage of total average risk-adjusted assets 
reported by that same institution or group of institutions, where a 
ratio of 1.0 indicates an institution or group of institutions is 
assessed at the same exact percentage of its percentage of total 
average risk-adjusted assets for institutions.
    For example, for the group of institutions with less than $1 
billion in average risk-adjusted assets, we identified an assessment 
apportionment ratio of 1.26 in 1993. In 2025 for this group, we 
identified an assessment apportionment ratio of 2.24, which indicated 
this group of associations was assessed at over two times the 
proportionality of their combined share of risk-weighted assets.
    For the group of institutions with average risk-adjusted assets of 
$1 to $10 billion, we identified a ratio of 0.80 in 1993, compared to a 
ratio of 1.66 in 2025. This difference in assessment apportionment 
ratio indicates this group of institutions was approximately assessed 
at over two times the proportionality of their combined share of risk-
weighted assets in 2025 than in 1993.
    In 2025, for the group of institutions reporting average risk-
weighted assets greater than $10 billion, we identified an assessment 
apportionment ratio of 0.84 which indicates this group was assessed 
less than their proportional share of combined risk-adjusted assets.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ In 1993, no System institutions reported average risk-
adjusted assets over $10 billion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on our historical review of the regulation, we propose to 
maintain the current assessment methodology while continuing to 
recognize the importance of the economies of scale concept in FCA's 
oversight and supervision of institutions. Additionally, FCA believes 
it is important to retain the risk premium concept based on a composite 
FIRS rating. Based on System changes since 1993 and our analysis of the 
current assessment formula, we propose changes to two parts of the 
assessment calculation. First, we propose to revise Sec.  607.3(b)(1) 
and (2) to increase the portion of the assessment formula that is based 
on each institution's pro rata share of the total average risk-adjusted 
asset base. Second, we propose changes to the tier thresholds in the 
table in Sec.  607.3(b)(2) to adjust the distribution of assessment 
apportionment among institutions.
    Our analysis indicates our Proposed Rule results in assessment 
apportionment ratios of: 0.97 for the group of institutions that exceed 
$10 billion in average risk-weighted assets (compared to 0.84 in 2025); 
1.12 for those associations that report between $1 and $10 billion in 
average risk-weighted assets (compared to 0.80 in 1993, and 1.66 in 
2025); and 1.20 for the group of associations that report less than $1 
billion in average risk-weighted assets (compared to 1.25 in 1993, and 
2.24 in 2025). Our Proposed Rule adjusts proportionalities for all 
institutions and retains the current principles of the formula 
methodology.
    We considered revising only the average risk-adjusted asset size 
ranges outlined in Sec.  607.3(b)(2); however, the results from 
revising only the tier ranges were insufficient to bring the 
proportionality of individual assessments for associations with less 
than $1 billion in average risk-weighted assets closer to levels of 
proportionality in 1993. Additionally, although we also considered pro 
rata amounts of less than 75 percent, these amounts were also 
insufficient to bring proportionality ratios closer to 1993 levels. 
Based on our analysis, we believe that a proposed increase to 75 
percent for the pro rata calculation of the formula is the most 
reasonable option.
    We also considered a 100 percent pro rata approach, which would 
result in an exact proportional ratio of 1.0 for each institution and 
ensure each bank and association is assessed exactly as the percentage 
of total System average risk-weighted assets held. However, a 100 
percent pro rata formula that includes a FIRS risk premium adjustment 
would allow anyone to determine an institution's assessment exceeds the 
100 percent pro rata formula and included a premium based on an adverse 
composite FIRS rating. Therefore, we determined this type of formula 
would no longer maintain continued confidentiality in the composite 
FIRS rating. Additionally, this approach is inconsistent with our 
intent to continue to account for economies of scale. We believe the 
proposed methodology provides the most equitable results and maintains 
the intentions of the original negotiated rulemaking committee.
    We specifically propose an increase, from 30 percent to 75 percent, 
of the portion of the assessment formula that bases the assessment on 
each institution's pro rata share of the total average risk-adjusted 
asset base. This change would result in a corresponding decrease in the 
apportionment calculation outlined in 607.3(b)(2) from 70 percent to 25 
percent. We determined a proposed 75 percent pro rata minimum change is 
necessary to sufficiently adjust the proportionality of assessments for 
those associations with average risk-weighted assets of less than $1 
billion in upholding cooperative principles. Within the calculation 
outlined in 607.3(b)(2), we also propose an increase in the average 
risk-adjusted asset tier thresholds to approximate the share of risk-
adjusted assets as distributed in each tier in 1993. We propose 
amending the dollar thresholds to mirror the share of bank and 
association risk-adjusted assets in each tier for 1993. As a result of 
the above proposed changes, the ratio of the percentage of assessments 
to the percentage of average risk-adjusted assets moves each group 
closer to the proportionality of assessment amounts when the rule was 
finalized in 1994.
    FCA concluded any change in the apportionment of the assessment 
methodology impacts each individual bank and association differently. 
However, we strove to ensure any proposed changes to the formula 
recognized the differences in all institutions, kept the spirit of the 
1992 negotiated rulemaking committee's

[[Page 21737]]

consensus recommendations, and did not place any undue burden on some 
institutions over others. We recognize these changes increase or 
decrease the individual assessment for each System bank and 
association. Based on average risk-weighted assets as of June 30, 2025, 
if the proposed formula became effective, most institutions' 
assessments decrease compared to their fiscal year 2026 assessments. 
However, for institutions reporting average risk-weighted assets of 
more than $25 billion as of June 30, 2025, assessments increase 
compared to their fiscal year 2026 assessments.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Future calculations may differ because the formula is 
dependent on the size and distribution of reported average risk-
weighted assets for individual institutions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, we considered adding a premium based on certain criteria 
to address institutions with increased complexity; however, we 
determined the criteria to support such a premium would be difficult to 
quantify.

D. Improve the Equitability of the Assessment Across System 
Institutions by Bringing the Proportionality of Assessments Closer to 
Levels Experienced When the Rule Became Effective

    FCA proposes revisions to significantly improve the assessment 
equitability by adjusting the proportionality of assessments in 
relation to the level of risk-adjusted assets across all institutions.
    These revisions would:
    [cir] Increase the pro rata percentage of assessment to 75 percent 
allocated to each institution to account for the growth and the reduced 
number of institutions and adjust the proportionality of an individual 
institution's assessment in relation to the level of risk-adjusted 
assets held.
    [cir] Preserve the economies of scale concept by continuing to 
apportion a minimum 25 percent of each individual institution's holding 
of risk-adjusted assets assessment through a declining rate formula.
    [cir] Revise the average risk-adjusted asset tier thresholds to 
allocate the average risk-adjusted assets at System institutions in 
tiers, consistent with the distribution of average risk-adjusted assets 
across the tiers established when the rule was finalized in 1994.
    [cir] Retain the risk concept through the composite FIRS rating 
premium.
    [cir] Keep the current formula to maintain the confidentiality of 
the composite FIRS rating in the calculation of any risk premium for 
those institutions assigned composite FIRS ratings of 3, 4, or 5.

III. Proposed Rule

A. Amendments to Sec.  607.2

    FCA proposes amendments to Sec.  607.2 to update the calculation of 
assessments on System banks, associations, and other System entities, 
update the example calculation, and eliminate references to the 
National Cooperative Bank Development Corporation and the Farm Credit 
Finance Corporation of Puerto Rico that no longer in existence.

B. Amendments to Sec.  607.3

    FCA proposes amendments to Sec.  607.3 (b)(1) and (2) to update the 
formula and example for the calculation of assessments.

IV. Regulatory Matters

A. Determination Under Executive Order 12866 and Expected Determination 
Under Executive Order 14192

    The Office of Management and Budget's Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs has determined that this proposed rule is not a 
``significant regulatory action'' as defined by Section 3(f) of 
Executive Order 12866, made applicable to FCA by Executive Order 14215. 
This action, if finalized as proposed, is expected to be neither an 
Executive Order 14192 deregulatory action nor an Executive Order 14192 
regulatory action.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Pursuant to Sec.  605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 
U.S.C. 601 et seq.), FCA hereby certifies that the Proposed Rule will 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. Each of the banks in the Farm Credit System, considered 
together with its affiliated associations, has assets and annual income 
in excess of the amounts that would qualify them as small entities. 
Therefore, Farm Credit System institutions are not ``small entities'' 
as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

C. Providing Accountability Through Transparency Act of 2023

    The Providing Accountability Through Transparency Act of 2023 
requires a notice of proposed rulemaking to include the internet 
address of a posted summary of the proposed rule, in plain language and 
less than 100 words. Public commenters may access the summary for this 
rulemaking under RIN 3052-AD66 at <a href="https://ww3.fca.gov/news/Lists/News%20Releases/Attachments/738/NR-26-03-3-12-26%20.pdf">https://ww3.fca.gov/news/Lists/News%20Releases/Attachments/738/NR-26-03-3-12-26%20.pdf</a>.

11. Amend the example set forth in Sec.  607.3(b)(2) from the existing 
example to reflect the revisions detailed above as follows:
    Example: XYZ association has a composite FIRS rating of 2 and 
average risk-adjusted assets of $2 billion. The value of X<INF>1</INF> 
has been determined to be .0000837, based on an FCA budget of $100.4 
million.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
X1 = .0000837 therefore $900,000,000 x .00837%...........   =    $75,320
.85X1 = .0000711 therefore $925,000,000 x .00711%........   =     65,801
.75X1 = .0000628 therefore $175,000,000 x .00628%........   =     10,984
                                                          --------------
    Total Assessment under Sec.   607.3(b)(2)............   =    152,105
