FARM CREDIT ADMINISTRATION

12 CFR Part 600

RIN 3052-AD05


Organization and Functions; Field Office Locations

AGENCY: Farm Credit Administration.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Farm Credit Administration (FCA, we, our or Agency) issues 
a final rule amending our regulation in order to change the addresses 
for two field offices as a result of recent office relocations.

DATES: The regulation shall become effective upon the expiration of 30 
days after publication in the Federal Register during which either or 
both Houses of Congress are in session. We will publish notice of the 
effective date in the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael T. Wilson, Policy Analyst, 
Office of Regulatory Policy, Farm Credit Administration, McLean, VA 
22102-5090, (703) 883-4124, TTY (703) 883-4056,
    Or
    Jane Virga, Senior Counsel, Office of General Counsel, Farm Credit 
Administration, McLean, VA 22102-5090, (703) 883-4071, TTY (703) 883-
4056.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Objective

    The objective of this final rule is to reflect the change of 
address for two FCA field office locations. The Freedom of Information 
Act, 5 U.S.C. 552, requires, in part, that each Federal agency publish 
in the Federal Register for the guidance of the public a description 
and the location of its central and field organizations. As two of 
FCA's field offices recently changed locations, this final rule amends 
our regulation to include the new addresses, in accordance with the 
Freedom of Information Act.

II. Certain Finding

    We have determined that the amendment involves Agency management 
and personnel. Therefore, this amendment does not constitute a 
rulemaking under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 551, 
553(a)(2). Under this statute of the APA, the public may participate in 
the promulgation of rules that have a substantial impact on the public. 
This amendment to our regulation relates to Agency management and 
personnel only and has no direct impact on the public and, therefore, 
does not require public participation.
    Even if this amendment was a rulemaking under 5 U.S.C. 551, 
553(a)(2) of the APA, we have determined that notice and public comment 
are unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. Under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(A) and (B) of the APA, an agency may publish regulations in 
final form when they involve matters of agency organization or where 
the agency for good cause finds that notice and public comment are 
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. As 
discussed above, this amendment results from recent address changes due 
to the relocation of two field offices. Because the amendments will 
provide accurate and current information on field office addresses to 
the public, it would be contrary to the public interest to delay 
amending the regulation.

III. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Pursuant to section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 
U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the FCA hereby certifies that the final rule will 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. Each of the banks in the Farm Credit System (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, System institutions are not ``small entities'' as 
defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
