The statute, specifically section 2252, provides a list of “enumerated powers” to the Farm Credit Administration, instructing the agency on specific regulatory tasks and gaps relating to the Farm Credit System. While some of the powers use open-ended terms (e.g., “necessary or appropriate”), the delegation identifies specific areas of regulatory activity, aligning it with a “Specific Authority Delegation.”

The regulation at 12 CFR Part 610 explicitly cites 12 U.S. Code § 2252 as one of its authorities, demonstrating a direct mandate.

The statute specifically instructs the FCA on how to administer the operating expense fund. For example, 12 U.S.C. § 2250(a)(2)(A) mandates that the FCA shall apportion the assessment amount among the System institutions on an “equitable basis.” Although the standard “equitable” is open-ended, it is a specific instruction.

The statute, 12 U.S.C. § 2250, directly mandates the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) to determine and collect assessments from System institutions and the Mortgage Corporation to cover administrative expenses. The regulation, 12 CFR Part 607, implements this mandate by providing the specifics of how the FCA will assess and apportion these expenses.

The statute provides clear instructions and specific regulatory tasks for the agency, related to powers, functions, and responsibilities concerning the Farm Credit System.

12 U.S. Code § 2252 is explicitly listed as the authority for 12 CFR Part 600.

While 12 U.S.C. § 2252 provides specific enumerated powers to the Farm Credit Administration, the authority to issue regulations related to employee responsibilities and conduct stems from the general power to prescribe rules and regulations necessary or appropriate for carrying out the chapter (specifically, subsection (a)(9) and potentially the incidental powers outlined in (a)(11)), rather than a clearly defined regulatory task. The reference to 5 U.S.C. 7301 (pertaining to general authority for agency regulations) further suggests the delegation is of a general nature.

The regulation 12 CFR Part 601 explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. 2252 as one of its authorities, indicating that the statute directly mandates or authorizes the regulation. Since 2252 lists powers and duties including prescribing rules and regulations necessary for carrying out the chapter, the relationship is directly mandated.

While 12 U.S.C. § 2252 lists specific powers of the Farm Credit Administration, subsection (a)(9) provides a general grant of rulemaking authority to carry out the chapter. The regulation on releasing information is arguably necessary for the Farm Credit Administration to fulfill its duties, such as reporting to Congress (Section 2252(a)(3)) or ensuring the safety and soundness of the system (Section 2252(a)(10)). It is not tied to a single, clearly identified task laid out by Congress. Instead, the authority to create regulations on releasing information is a broadly interpreted power that allows the agency to effectively enforce the Farm Credit Act. Because this delegation does not focus on a specific regulatory task or gap it is categorized as General Authority.

12 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(9) explicitly authorizes the Farm Credit Administration to “Prescribe rules and regulations necessary or appropriate for carrying out this chapter.” 12 CFR Part 602 addresses releasing information related to the Farm Credit System, which falls under “carrying out this chapter”.

Although the statute cites sections of the Farm Credit Act and Privacy Act, the delegation concerning rulemaking for carrying out the chapter is broad authority for implementing the Privacy Act regulations.

The regulation (12 CFR Part 603) implements the Privacy Act. The statute (12 U.S. Code § 2252) specifically references the agency’s general authority to prescribe rules and regulations necessary or appropriate for carrying out the chapter and authority to administer Farm Credit System; therefore the statute directly mandates this regulation.

While the statute details specific responsibilities of the Chairman and the Board, the delegation of authority to make regulatory decisions, findings, and determinations is broad and not tied to any particular, identified regulatory task. It empowers the Board to make rules within the scope of the chapter, which is general rulemaking authority.

The statute authorizes the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) Board to adopt policies and regulations, and the Chairman to implement them. The statute does not mandate the creation of specific regulations, but rather authorizes the FCA to do so.

While 12 U.S.C. § 2244 does reference the Chairman enforcing “rules, regulations, and orders of the Board”, and it discusses the Chairman’s responsibilities, it doesn’t give specific instructions on what the regulations concerning conservatorships, receiverships, and voluntary liquidations should include. The statute provides broad authority for the Chairman and Board to manage the Farm Credit Administration, making the delegation “General Authority.”

12 U.S.C. § 2244 is explicitly cited as authority for 12 CFR Part 627. This indicates that the statute directly mandates or at least provides the basis for the regulation, as the regulation implements provisions related to conservatorships and receiverships, which are enforcement powers mentioned in the statute.

While the statute covers a range of administrative and organizational aspects, it does provide explicit instructions regarding the roles and responsibilities of the Chairman and Board of the FCA. Specifically, the statute directs the Chairman to be governed by the policies of the Board and regulatory decisions authorized by law. It also discusses appointments and personnel management. Although open-ended terms such as “necessary” exist within the statute, the regulatory tasks are identified which aligns with Specific Authority Delegation.

The regulation 12 CFR Part 600 cites 12 U.S.C. § 2245 as an authority. The statute directs the organization of the Farm Credit Administration, including the powers and duties of the Chairman and the Board. This is directly mandated as the statute explicitly sets up the organizational structure that the regulation would further define and implement.

While the statute provides general authority regarding the overall organization and function of the Farm Credit Administration, the aspect directly linked to the ethics regulations (5 CFR Part 4101) — specifically the mention of ethics in 12 U.S.C. § 2245(c)(2)(C) and its citation in the “Authority” section of the regulation — points to a specific area where regulations are needed (ethics of officers and employees). The statute’s reference to chapter 131 of title 5 and sections of title 18 highlights the specific regulatory task of ensuring ethical conduct, thus aligning with the “Specific Authority Delegations” classification, specifically the need for supplemental ethics regulations.

The statute explicitly authorizes the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) Board to make regulatory decisions, findings, and determinations, and the Chairman to be governed by those policies, indicating a direct mandate for regulations implementing the chapter under which the Chairman carries out their powers and duties. Furthermore, 12 U.S.C. § 2245(c)(2)(C) is explicitly listed in the authority section of the regulation.

While seemingly broad, the statute specifically authorizes the Chairman to establish advisory committees. This identifies a relatively contained regulatory task (establishing advisory committees) for the Chairman to undertake. Therefore, this is considered a specific authority delegation even if the specific regulatory output of such committees are not predetermined.

The statute, 12 U.S.C. § 2246, authorizes the Chairman of the Board (subject to Board approval) to establish advisory committees. It does not mandate the establishment of such committees, but rather provides the option to do so. The regulation, 12 CFR Part 605, focuses on information security. While advisory committees could conceivably advise on information security matters, the statute doesn’t mandate that the regulation be created, but the statue is used as authority for the regulation.

The statute specifically instructs the agency on the regulatory tasks by defining the Chairman’s role in directing the implementation of policies and regulations and enforcing those regulations. Although the language provides some flexibility, it still directs the agency toward a specific regulatory task related to the Chairman’s responsibilities.

12 U.S.C. § 2244 explicitly defines the roles and responsibilities of the Chairman of the Farm Credit Administration Board, and states that the Chairman is responsible for directing the implementation of regulations adopted by the Board and enforcing the rules, regulations, and orders of the Board. This creates a direct mandate relationship as regulations adopted by the Board directly impact the Chairman’s responsibilities. Part 600 implements some rules and procedures for service upon the FCA.

The statute outlines specific responsibilities and governing standards for the Chairman of the Farm Credit Administration, which are then carried out via the implementation and enforcement of regulations. This qualifies as specific authority because the statute clearly defines the agency’s tasks, especially regarding the implementation and enforcement of regulations adopted by the Board.

12 U.S. Code § 2244(a)(2) states that the Chairman “shall be responsible for directing the implementation of policies and regulations adopted by the Board”. 12 CFR Part 614 contains loan policies and operation regulations. Thus, the statute directly mandates the regulation.

12 U.S. Code § 2244 focuses on the Chairman’s role and responsibilities within the Farm Credit Administration. It provides general guidance on implementing policies and regulations but does not specifically instruct the agency (or the Chairman) to regulate leasing activities or any other specific area. The statute’s language is broad, delegating authority for the Chairman to “direct the implementation of policies and regulations adopted by the Board.” This falls under a general delegation of authority rather than a specific directive to regulate a particular task like leasing.

12 U.S. Code § 2244 outlines the responsibilities of the Chairman of the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) Board. While it doesn’t directly mandate specific regulations concerning leasing, it authorizes the Chairman to direct the implementation of policies and regulations adopted by the Board. The Board’s authority to adopt regulations related to leasing, although not explicitly mentioned in this specific section, is implied through the broader authority granted to the FCA within the Farm Credit Act, as evidenced in the “Authority” section of the regulation. Therefore, the statute authorizes but does not mandate the regulation.

While the statute mandates the Chairman to implement and enforce regulations, it does not specify the exact types of regulations or the specific regulatory tasks beyond those duties. Rather, it grants broad authority to execute the administrative functions and duties of the Farm Credit Administration, subject to the Board’s policies. This aligns with the definition of a general authority delegation because no specific regulatory gaps are identified within the statute.

12 U.S. Code § 2244 explicitly details the responsibilities of the Chairman of the Farm Credit Administration, including directing the implementation of policies and regulations adopted by the Board and enforcing the rules, regulations and orders of the Board. 12 CFR Part 618 falls under the authority of several sections of the Farm Credit Act, including § 2244. This creates a direct mandate for regulations related to the Chairman’s role and the broader functioning of the Farm Credit Administration.

While 12 U.S.C. § 2244 discusses the chairman’s responsibilities, subsection (c) regarding enforcement of rules and regulations is relatively specific. Although the statute itself doesn’t lay out the precise procedures for enforcement or the detailed content of the rules, it explicitly assigns the Chairman the task of enforcing them. The statute points towards a specific regulatory task, and using the Hickman framework even including enforcement is considered “reasonable” to achieve the statute’s goals of ensuring the Farm Credit Administration functions correctly.

The statute 12 U.S.C. § 2244(c) states that “The Chairman of the Board shall enforce the rules, regulations, and orders of the Board.” This directly mandates a regulatory task. The regulation, 12 CFR Part 622 outlines the “Rules of Practice and Procedure” and the authority note explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. § 2244, indicating a direct mandate.

While 12 U.S.C. § 2243 provides broad rulemaking authority, subsection (2) and (4) directs the agency to “provide for the examination of the condition of, and general regulation of the performance of the powers, functions, and duties vested in, each institution of the Farm Credit System” and “require such reports as it deems necessary from the institutions of the Farm Credit System.” These sections identify specific regulatory tasks and gaps, albeit using open-ended terms such as “necessary.” Since 12 CFR Part 630 concerns disclosures to investors in Farm Credit System debt obligations, it falls under the umbrella of examination and regulation of the Farm Credit System, and also falls under the category of required reports.

12 U.S.C. § 2243 explicitly grants the Board of the Farm Credit Administration the power to “approve the rules and regulations for the implementation of this chapter not inconsistent with its provisions.” 12 CFR Part 630 implements the Farm Credit Act. Therefore, the statute directly mandates the regulation.

While section 2243(1) directs the board to approve rules for the implementation of the chapter, it does not specify the content of those rules beyond requiring consistency with the chapter. Subsections (2)-(4) are similarly general. This provides the Board with broad rulemaking authority without directing it to address a specific regulatory gap, fitting the definition of General Authority.

12 U.S.C. § 2243(1) explicitly states that the Board “shall approve the rules and regulations for the implementation of this chapter not inconsistent with its provisions.” 12 CFR Part 650 is listed as deriving authority from 12 U.S.C. § 2243, thereby directly mandating a statute-regulation relationship.

While the statute (12 U.S.C. § 2243) directs the Board to manage and administer the Farm Credit Administration and to approve rules and regulations for implementing “this chapter,” it provides a broad mandate without specifying what governance standards, or specific conduct rules are needed. The specific subjects covered in 12 CFR Part 651 (Standards of Conduct, Board Governance) are not explicitly identified in the statute’s text, meaning the agency is using general authority.

The regulation, 12 CFR Part 651, explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. § 2243 within its “Authority” section. This indicates a direct mandate, as the regulation is implemented under the authority of the statute.

While the statute contains some broad language like “manage and administer, and establish policies for,” subsection (1) specifically instructs the agency to approve rules and regulations for the implementation of the chapter. This satisfies the “clearly instructs an agency on a specific regulatory task” condition of a specific authority delegation. Furthermore, the statute also contains narrower authority grants, e.g., examination of condition of institutions, which indicates that although the delegation is relatively broad, it still contains specific tasks.

12 U.S.C. § 2243(1) explicitly states the Board “shall approve the rules and regulations for the implementation of this chapter not inconsistent with its provisions.” This directly mandates the creation and approval of regulations, establishing a clear directly mandated relationship.

The statute, specifically subsection (4), grants the Board the power to “require such reports as it deems necessary from the institutions of the Farm Credit System.” This is a specific regulatory task, falling within Hickman’s definition of a Specific Authority Delegation, even with the open-ended term “necessary.” While broader powers are also present, the reporting requirements relate directly to the rule.

The statute explicitly states the Board “shall approve the rules and regulations for the implementation of this chapter not inconsistent with its provisions,” directly mandating a regulatory relationship. Furthermore, the regulation explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. 2243 as its authority.

While the statute specifies certain duties like approving rules and regulations and examining the condition of institutions, it provides broad authority for managing and administering the Farm Credit Administration. This broad mandate, especially concerning the establishment of policies and the performance of all powers and duties vested in the Farm Credit Administration, aligns with a general authority delegation.

12 U.S.C. § 2243 is explicitly listed in the authority section of 12 CFR Part 623, directly mandating and authorizing the regulations related to practice before the Farm Credit Administration.

While 12 U.S.C. § 2243 does mention “rules and regulations,” it does so in a broad context of managing and administering the Farm Credit Administration. The statute does not identify a specific regulatory gap or prescribe specific regulatory tasks. It delegates authority in general terms rather than offering specific instruction on swap entities and margin/capital requirements.

12 U.S.C. § 2243 explicitly states that the Board shall approve the rules and regulations for the implementation of this chapter. 12 CFR Part 624 falls under this mandate as it establishes margin and capital requirements, contributing to the implementation of the chapter related to the Farm Credit Administration.

While § 2243 focuses on the management and administration of the Farm Credit Administration and grants broad powers, subsection (1) specifically directs the Board to approve rules and regulations for implementing “this chapter.” This constitutes a clear instruction on a specific regulatory task, thus qualifying as a specific authority delegation.

12 U.S.C. § 2243(1) explicitly states that the Board “shall approve the rules and regulations for the implementation of this chapter not inconsistent with its provisions.” This directly mandates a rulemaking function. The CFR explicitly cites this statute in its authority note.

While 12 U.S.C. § 2243 lists specific powers of the Board, it gives broad authority to manage and administer the Farm Credit Administration, to approve rules and regulations for implementation of the chapter, examine institutions of the farm credit system, and to require reports. While the statute includes specifics, the overall effect is best classified as General Authority because of the broad scope of the powers and duties given to the Board.

12 U.S.C. § 2243(1) explicitly mandates the Board shall approve the rules and regulations for the implementation of this chapter. Furthermore, the regulation cites 12 U.S.C. § 2243 in its authority section.
