through the Pending Regulations section of our Web site at http://www.fca.gov or through the Government-wide http://www.regulations.gov

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 28, 2006, FCA published a proposed
rule in the Federal Register to amend regulations in parts 611, 612,
613, and 614 to reduce regulatory burden on System banks and
associations. The comment period expired on May 30, 2006. See 71 FR
15343, March 28, 2006. A member of the public has requested us to
extend the comment period for at least an additional 30 days. In
response to this request, we are reopening the comment period until
July 17, 2006. The FCA supports public involvement and participation in
its regulatory process and invites all interested parties to review and
provide comments on the proposed rule. We believe that a reopening of
the comment period to allow all interested parties more time to provide
comments is appropriate, but that the reopening should be no longer
than 30 days.
Dated: June 8, 2006.
Roland E. Smith,
Secretary, Farm Credit Administration Board.
