The publisher's summary

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA, we, or our) amends our regulatory high-risk loan performance categories by removing "Formally restructured loans (TDR)," also known as troubled debt restructurings. In 2022, changes in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs, enhanced disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings undertaken when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and changed existing vintage year disclosure requirements for public business entities. This final rule removes TDRs from our regulatory loan performance categories to reflect changes in GAAP. Because FCA regulations require Farm Credit System (System) institutions to prepare financial statements and reports in accordance with GAAP, retaining TDRs as a regulatory loan performance category is no longer consistent with current accounting standards. In addition to making conforming technical changes, the rule also makes minor technical and organizational revisions to ensure internal consistency within the regulation. In addition, FCA determined that no regulatory amendments are necessary to implement GAAP's enhanced disclosure requirements for loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty or for amended vintage year disclosures, as existing FCA regulations already require GAAP-compliant financial reporting.
