Additional GuidanceIn addition to issuing regulations that govern how Farm Credit System institutions conduct their business, the Agency issues other forms of guidance, including FCA Board Policy Statements, FCA Bookletters, Informational Memorandums, and Legal Opinions. FCA Board Policy Statements When a Board policy statement affects the interests of the general public, it must be published in the Federal Register, as required under the Freedom of Information Act. Once adopted, a Board policy statement remains in effect unless amended, revoked, suspended, or altered by a subsequent Board action. The FCA Board Policy Statements database provides the text of all Board policy statements that are currently in effect. FCA Bookletters Informational Memorandums An Info Memo generally serves one of the following purposes:
The Informational Memorandums database contains Info Memos dating back more than 10 years. Legal Opinions From time to time, the OGC selects legal opinions of general interest and posts condensed summaries on a database linked to the FCA Web site. (See the Summaries of Selected Legal Opinions database.) When you are reviewing these summaries, please be aware that different facts or subsequent changes in law and policy can produce different conclusions.
