While the statute itself just provides definitions, and therefore doesn’t delegate authority in the same way as statutes giving agencies power to act, the inclusion of section 2279bb in the regulation indicates that the definition of terms in the statutes are directly linked to the regulatory actions taken under Part 650. It is specific since the regulation defines terms that are relevant to specific regulatory actions involving the Farm Credit Administration.

12 U.S.C. § 2279bb is explicitly cited in the authority section of 12 CFR Part 650. This indicates that the regulation is directly mandated by the statute, as the statute provides definitions that the regulation likely uses and elaborates upon for implementation.

The statute explicitly assigns the Farm Credit Administration Board a specific task: approving merger plans. This fits within the “Specific Authority Delegations” category because it instructs the agency on a particular regulatory task. While the criteria for approval are not detailed in this specific section, the statute clearly designates the FCA’s role.

The statute directly mandates the Farm Credit Administration Board’s approval as a condition for bank mergers. The statute lists the FCA Board alongside other required approvals, making it a direct mandate.

While the statute references specific aspects of lending authorities of the Farm Credit Act like “loan policies and operations”, its authority is spread over the entire scope of lending and is not a focused delegation of authority, instead, it is broad.

The regulation 12 CFR Part 614 directly implements and expands upon the statutory provisions of the Farm Credit Act, including 12 U.S.C. § 2279aa. The ‘Authority’ section of the CFR explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. 2279aa as one of its bases. This demonstrates a direct mandate, as the regulation provides detailed rules and procedures related to the definitions outlined in the statute.

The statute, specifically 12 U.S.C. 2279aa, defines key terms and concepts related to agricultural real estate, qualified loans, and the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation. These definitions provide specific guidance and objectives for the agency (Farm Credit Administration) to implement through regulation, particularly around funding, fiscal affairs, loan policies, and operations related to agricultural mortgages. The agency is not given wholly unlimited authority, but rather must regulate within the bounds of the definitions and requirements established in this and other sections of the Farm Credit Act. The citation of sections 2279aa-3, 2279aa-4, 2279aa-6, 2279aa-8, 2279aa-10 and 2279aa-12 in the authority section of the regulation further confirms that.

The regulation, 12 CFR Part 615, explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. 2279aa as authority. This indicates the regulation is directly mandated by the statute, as it implements and expands upon the definitions and requirements laid out in the statute.

While the regulation lists several sections of the Farm Credit Act, including 2279aa, the regulation’s focus on capital adequacy of system institutions shows the statute provides clear instructions on specific regulatory gap.

12 U.S.C. § 2279aa is explicitly listed in the Authority section of 12 CFR Part 628, indicating a direct mandate.

The statute specifically instructs the Farm Credit Administration to issue regulations addressing the consolidation and reconciliation of powers and obligations during the transfer of lending authority. This is a specific regulatory task, not merely a broad grant of authority.

12 U.S.C. § 2279b(c) directly mandates that the Farm Credit Administration “shall issue regulations that establish the manner in which the powers and obligations of the banks that make transfers are consolidated and, to the extent necessary, reconciled in the association referred to in subsection (a).”

The statute specifically authorizes the FCA to make rules and regulations concerning proceedings, examinations, or investigations related to the Farm Credit System. This is not a general grant of authority, but rather a specific task with a clearly defined scope: regulating activities related to the FCA’s enforcement and oversight functions. While the terms are open-ended, such as “proceedings, examinations, or investigations,” they clearly define a regulatory gap.

The statute (12 U.S.C. § 2273) explicitly empowers the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) to “make rules and regulations with respect to any such proceedings, examinations, or investigations.” The regulation (12 CFR Part 623) concerns practice before the FCA, which falls squarely within the statute’s authorization for rules regarding FCA proceedings. The authority note for Part 623 explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. 2273.

While 12 U.S.C. § 2277a itself only provides definitions, the CFR uses it as an authority, meaning, it falls into “Specific Authority” delegation because, by defining terms crucial to the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation it helps an agency carry out specific regulatory tasks.

The regulation, 12 CFR Part 627, explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. § 2277a as authority. This indicates a direct mandate since the regulation’s scope (conservatorships, receiverships, etc.) is directly related to the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation, and the definition in 2277a is foundational to understanding the scope of the regulatory scheme.

The statute explicitly tasks the Farm Credit Administration Board with approving merger plans of banks within a district, setting out specific conditions for approval. This constitutes a specific regulatory task assigned to the agency, fitting the definition of a Specific Authority Delegation.

The statute, 12 U.S. Code § 2279a, directly mandates that the Farm Credit Administration Board approve bank merger plans under specific conditions. The regulation, 12 CFR Part 611, specifically Subpart F, further organizes and details the “Bank Mergers, Consolidations and Charter Amendments” process, which is directly mandated by the statute.

While the statute doesn’t explicitly direct the FCA to create rules, it does explicitly assign the FCA Board the specific task of approving merger plans. Even though “approval” might seem vague, it is inherently a regulatory task. The agency is instructed on a particular matter – bank mergers – and given the power to approve or disapprove them. Thus, it falls within the “Specific Authority” category. It’s not a broad grant of rulemaking power over the entire banking industry, but a focused delegation related to a single, albeit important, action.

The statute, 12 U.S. Code § 2279a, outlines the process by which banks within a district may merge and requires Farm Credit Administration Board approval. While it authorizes the FCA to approve (or presumably disapprove) a merger plan, it doesn’t mandate any specific regulatory actions or rulemaking. The statute establishes a condition (FCA approval) for a specific action (merger) to occur, but doesn’t dictate how the FCA must regulate this process beyond the approval requirement. The regulations in 12 CFR Part 614 address loan policies and operations, which would logically include policies relating to mergers since mergers affect lending authorities and related bank operations.

The statute provides the FCA a specific regulatory task – approving bank mergers. This is a specific directive from congress rather than broad delegation.

The statute grants the Farm Credit Administration Board the authority to approve bank mergers. The statute does not mandate specific regulations, but rather authorizes the agency to establish procedures for the approval process.

12 U.S.C. § 2271(5)(A) states that the term “unsafe or unsound practice” shall “have the meaning given to it by the Farm Credit Administration by regulation, rule, or order.” This is a clear instruction on a specific regulatory task. The statute identifies the regulatory task and also provides “appropriate” and “necessary” broad authority for the agency.

The regulation at 12 CFR Part 622 explicitly cites sections of the Farm Credit Act (12 U.S.C. 2243, 2244, 2252, 2261-2273) as its authority. 12 U.S.C. § 2271 falls within this range (2261-2273), directly mandating the regulations, therefore it is a directly mandated relationship.

The statute explicitly instructs the Farm Credit Administration on a specific regulatory task – defining the term “unsafe or unsound practice.” This falls under the “Specific Authority Delegations” category even with the use of the term “meaning given to it”.

Paragraph (5)(A) explicitly states that “the term ‘unsafe or unsound practice’ shall have the meaning given to it by the Farm Credit Administration by regulation, rule, or order,” directly mandating a regulation to define the term.

The statute specifically instructs the agency regarding the method of providing notice, detailing that the agency can use registered mail “or in such other manner reasonably calculated to give actual notice as the Farm Credit Administration may by regulation or otherwise provide.” It identifies a specific gap (alternative methods of service) and tasks the agency to fill it.

The statute “authorizes” the Farm Credit Administration to determine alternative methods of service “by regulation or otherwise,” but does not mandate the creation of regulations. It already provides for service by registered mail.

The statute specifically addresses the method of providing notice and explicitly authorizes the Farm Credit Administration to issue regulations related to service of notice, specifying that the manner must be “reasonably calculated to give actual notice.” This is a clearly defined regulatory task, fitting within Hickman’s category of specific authority delegations. The term “reasonably calculated” provides some flexibility, but it’s still focused on a particular regulatory gap.

The statute authorizes, but does not mandate, the Farm Credit Administration to provide for service of notice by regulation or otherwise. The statute states that service may be made “in such other manner reasonably calculated to give actual notice as the Farm Credit Administration may by regulation or otherwise provide.” This implies that the agency has discretion in how it chooses to implement service of notice beyond the registered mail option.

While the statute grants broad rulemaking authority (“empowered to make rules and regulations”), it is specifically tethered to “proceedings, examinations, or investigations.” This connection establishes a specific regulatory task, even though the statute uses broad language within that context.

The statute, 12 U.S. Code § 2273, explicitly empowers the Farm Credit Administration to make rules and regulations regarding proceedings, examinations, or investigations. The regulation, 12 CFR Part 622, includes 12 U.S.C. 2273 in its authority section, indicating it is directly mandated.

While the language could be considered somewhat general, the statute explicitly instructs the agency to create regulations necessary to implement specific sections of the U.S. Code (2267 and 2268). This implies a specific regulatory task rather than a broad grant of rulemaking authority.

12 U.S.C. § 2268(f) directly mandates the Farm Credit Administration to promulgate regulations necessary to implement section 2267 of this title and this section.

The statute grants the Farm Credit Administration the power to approve or disapprove certain actions (specifically, a disqualified person voting for a director or serving as a director, officer, or employee of a System institution). This is a specific regulatory task assigned to the agency, triggering the need for rulemaking procedures to govern how those approvals are granted or denied. While not using language like “appropriate” or “necessary” explicitly, the requirement for “prior written approval” necessitates a regulatory framework for review, and thus falls under Specific Authority.

12 U.S.C. § 2269 outlines specific penalties for certain actions related to Farm Credit System institutions and requires prior written approval from the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) for individuals under notice or order to participate in certain activities. While the statute itself doesn’t explicitly mandate specific rulemaking regarding rules of practice and procedure, the FCA’s authority to grant or deny approval implies the need for procedures to evaluate and process such requests. Additionally, Sections 5.25-5.37 of the Farm Credit Act (12 U.S.C. 2261-2273) are listed in the regulation’s authority section and are cited in section 2269. These sections likely authorize, but do not directly mandate, the rules and procedures for assessment and collection of civil money penalties, hearings, investigations etc. found in 12 CFR Part 622.

While the statute specifies actions requiring Farm Credit Administration (FCA) approval, it doesn’t provide detailed guidance on how the FCA should administer this approval process or any other specific regulatory tasks relating to 2269. The FCA must create the rules and processes for granting this approval. Therefore it falls under the General Authority category.

The statute (12 U.S.C. § 2269) establishes penalties for certain actions by individuals subject to notices or orders under sections 2264 or 2265, but it does not explicitly mandate regulations. However, the statute requires “prior written approval of the Farm Credit Administration” in specific instances, which implies that the Farm Credit Administration is authorized to issue regulations or procedures concerning the conditions for granting such approvals and defining the scope of “prior written approval.” Thus, the relationship is authorized but not mandated.

12 U.S.C. § 2270 details a specific situation: a lack of quorum due to suspension or removal of directors. The statute then specifically instructs the Chairman to appoint temporary directors. While the statute itself doesn’t explicitly say “make regulations,” the subject matter of Part 622 (rules of practice and procedure) directly relates to how the suspension/removal and subsequent temporary appointment process should occur, making the delegation specific to the implementation of this statutory requirement.

The statute outlines a specific scenario where the Chairman shall appoint temporary directors, but it does not explicitly mandate the creation of regulations to implement this. However, the agency is authorized to create rules regarding practice and procedure related to these actions, as evidenced by the cited authorities in 12 CFR Part 622, including sections within 12 U.S.C. 2261-2273, which fall under the Farm Credit Act. While 12 U.S.C. 2270 itself isn’t explicitly mentioned as authority, it falls within the scope of those sections, particularly when procedural elements are needed for implementing it. The regulations are designed to clarify and add guidelines to existing statutes, to ensure they are applied correctly.

The statute mandates the Chairman to appoint temporary replacements to establish a quorum when there are director suspensions or removals as per sections 2264 or 2265. This is a specific instruction given to the Chairman. Although the Chairman has discretion in choosing the temporary directors, the overall regulatory task is clearly defined.

12 U.S.C. § 2270 describes a process for temporarily replacing directors. While 12 CFR Part 623 concerns practice before the Farm Credit Administration and lists sections of the Farm Credit Act, including sections within the range 2261-2273, as its authority, § 2270 is not explicitly mentioned as directly mandating or authorizing the regulations. The connection is related as both deal with the Farm Credit System, but there’s no direct link.

While the statute provides discretion to the FCA regarding enforcement, it specifically empowers the agency to apply to district courts for enforcement of its orders and specifies the courts’ jurisdiction. This establishes a specific regulatory task: seeking judicial enforcement. It also makes directives issued under sections 2154(b)(2), 2154a(e), or 2202a(h) equivalent to final orders under section 2261, clarifying the agency’s authority.

The statute (12 U.S.C. § 2267) grants the Farm Credit Administration discretion (“may in its discretion apply…”) to seek enforcement of its orders in federal court. This authorizes the agency to act but does not mandate it. The regulation (12 CFR Part 623) concerns practice before the FCA, which is arguably related to the FCA’s enforcement powers, but the statute doesn’t directly instruct the FCA to create rules of practice. The statute allows the FCA to enforce its orders, and the regulation facilitates the conduct of business with the FCA, including potential enforcement actions.

The statute specifically addresses the jurisdiction of the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) over institution-affiliated parties, particularly concerning enforcement actions and the impact of separation from an institution. By explicitly including 12 U.S.C. § 2267a in the authority section, the agency is implementing a specific regulatory task set out in the statute by refining standards of conduct and referral processes based on covered parties.

The regulation explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. § 2267a as statutory authority for the regulation. This indicates a direct mandate to regulate in accordance with the statute’s provisions.

The statute provides a specific regulatory task to the Farm Credit Administration by clarifying and extending its jurisdiction to include institution-affiliated parties and outlining the conditions under which it can act against them, even after they’ve separated from the institution. The statute also outlines the timeline in which an action can be taken. This level of specificity suggests a Specific Authority delegation.

The statute 12 U.S.C. § 2267a directly mandates the Farm Credit Administration’s jurisdiction and enforcement authority over institution-affiliated parties, specifying its applicability to sections 2261, 2262, and 2268. The regulation, 12 CFR Part 622, outlines the rules of practice and procedure, including formal hearings and civil money penalties, which are directly related to the enforcement authority granted by the statute. The authority section of the regulation cites to sections within Title 12 that are referenced in the statute.

The statute specifically identifies a regulatory gap and instructs the agency (FCA) to expand its enforcement authority to include institution-affiliated parties, even after they have separated from the Farm Credit System institution. It defines a limitation of 6 years for these actions and sets an applicability date. This is a focused directive, aligning with a Specific Authority delegation.

The statute 12 U.S.C. § 2267a expands the Farm Credit Administration’s jurisdiction and enforcement authority over institution-affiliated parties. While it clarifies and extends existing authority under sections 2261, 2262, and 2268, it does not explicitly mandate specific regulations to implement this expansion. The agency is authorized to take actions related to this expanded jurisdiction, but it’s not directly required to create new regulations. Part 623 outlines general practice before the FCA and may have been updated because of the statute; however, 2267a does not explicitly require a change to the regulation.
