GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED ENTERPRISES This chapter contains descriptions of the data on the Government-sponsored enterprises listed below. These enterprises were established and chartered by the Federal Government for public policy purposes. They are not included in the Federal Budget because they are private companies, and their securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of the Federal Government. However, because of their public purpose, detailed statements of financial condition are presented, to the extent such information is available, on a basis that is as consistent as practicable with the basis for the budget data of Government agencies. These statements are not reviewed by the President; they are presented as submitted by the enterprises. —The Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation provide assistance to the secondary market for residential mortgages. —The Federal Home Loan Banks assist thrift institutions, banks, insurance companies, and credit unions in providing financing for housing and community development. —Institutions of the Farm Credit System, which include the Agricultural Credit Bank and Farm Credit Banks, provide financial assistance to agriculture. They are regulated by the Farm Credit Administration. —The Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation, under the regulation of the Farm Credit Administration, provides a secondary mortgage market for agricultural real estate and rural housing loans as well as for farm and business loans guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. f FEDERAL NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION PORTFOLIO PROGRAMS Status of Direct Loans (in millions of dollars) Identification code 99–2500–0–3–371 2006 actual 2007 est. 2008 est. 1131 Direct loan obligations .................................................. ................... ................... ................... 1150 Total direct loan obligations ......................................... ................... ................... ...................

Note: Consistent with Government-wide practice for GSEs, information for 2007 and 2008 was not required to be collected. The Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) is a Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) in the housing finance market. The Administration has announced a proposal to strengthen regulation of all the housing GSEs, including Fannie Mae. As a housing GSE, Fannie Mae is a Federally chartered, privately owned company with a public mission to provide stability and to increase the liquidity of the residential mortgage market and to help increase the availability of mortgage credit to low- and moderate-income families and in underserved areas. Fannie Mae engages primarily in two forms of business: guaranteeing residential mortgage securities and investing in portfolios of residential mortgages. The Federal Government has equipped Fannie Mae with certain advantages over wholly private firms in carrying out these activities. These include an exemption from State and local taxes (except real property taxes), and an exemption of its debt and mortgage securities from Securities and Exchange Commission registration requirements. An additional advantage is that the Secretary of the Treasury may purchase and hold up to $2.25 billion of securities issued by Fannie Mae under terms and conditions and at prices determined by the Secretary to be appropriate. Securities guaranteed and debt issued by Fannie Mae are solely the corporation’s obligations and are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. The common stock of the corporation is owned by the public, is fully transferable, and trades on the New York, Midwest, and Pacific stock exchanges. Fannie Mae was established in 1938 to assist private markets in providing a steady supply of funds for housing. Fannie Mae was originally a subsidiary of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and was permitted to purchase only loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). In 1954, Fannie Mae was restructured as a mixed ownership (part government, part private) corporation. Legislation directed the sale of the Government’s remaining interest in Fannie Mae in 1968 and completed the transformation to private shareholder ownership in 1970. Using the proceeds from the sale of subordinated debentures, Fannie Mae paid the Treasury $216 million for the Government’s preferred stock, which was retired, and for the Treasury’s interest in the corporation’s earned surplus. As a result, the corporation was taken off the Federal Budget. In 1992, the Congress reaffirmed and clarified Fannie Mae’s role in the housing finance system through charter act amendments included in the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (Act). Fannie Mae’s charter purposes, as amended by the Act, are: ‘‘to provide stability in the secondary market for residential mortgages; respond appropriately to the private capital market; provide ongoing assistance to the secondary market for residential mortgages (including activities relating to mortgages on housing for low- and moderate-income families involving a reasonable economic return that may be less than the return earned on other activities); and promote access to mortgage credit throughout the Nation (including central cities, rural areas, and underserved areas) by increasing the liquidity of mortgage investments and improving the distribution of investment capital for residential mortgage financing.’’ For additional discussion and analyses of Fannie Mae, please see the Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget documents.

According to accounting practices for private corporations, the mortgages in the pools of loans supporting the mortgagebacked securities are considered to be owned by the holders of these securities. Consequently, on the books of Fannie Mae, these mortgages are not considered assets and the securities outstanding are not considered liabilities. However, the concepts of the budget of the U.S. Government consider these mortgages and mortgage-backed securities to be assets and liabilities, respectively, of Fannie Mae. For the purposes of this document, therefore, they are presented as assets and liabilities in the accompanying schedules. On the schedule of Status of Direct Loans for mortgage-backed securities, the items labeled ‘‘New loans’’ and ‘‘Recoveries: Repayments and prepayments’’ are budgetary terms. However, from Fannie Mae’s perspective, these items are ‘‘Amounts issued’’ and ‘‘Amounts passed through to the holders of securities’’, respectively. Financial data for Fannie Mae is not presented here because Fannie Mae has not provided audited financial results for 2006.

The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) is a Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) in the housing finance market. The Administration has announced a proposal to strengthen regulation of all the housing GSEs, including Freddie Mac. As a housing GSE, Freddie Mac is a Federally-chartered, shareholder-owned, private company with a public mission to provide stability and increase the liquidity of the residential mortgage market, and to help increase the availability of mortgage credit to low- and moderate-income families and in underserved areas. Freddie Mac engages primarily in two forms of business: guaranteeing residential mortgage securities and investing in portfolios of residential mortgages. The Federal Government has equipped Freddie Mac with certain advantages over wholly private firms in carrying out these activities. These advantages include an exemption from State and local taxes (except real property taxes), and an exemption for its debt and mortgage securities from Securities and Exchange Commission registration requirements. An additional advantage is that the Secretary of the Treasury may purchase and hold up to $2.25 billion of securities issued by Freddie Mac under terms and conditions and at prices determined by the Secretary to be appropriate. Securities guaranteed and debt issued by Freddie Mac are explicitly not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. The common stock of the corporation is owned by private shareholders, is fully transferable, and trades on the New York and Pacific stock exchanges. Freddie Mac was established in 1970 under the Emergency Home Finance Act. The Congress chartered Freddie Mac to provide mortgage lenders with an organized national secondary market enabling them to manage their conventional mortgage portfolio more effectively and gain indirect access to a ready source of additional funds to meet new demands for mortgages. Freddie Mac serves as a conduit facilitating the flow of investment dollars from the capital markets to mortgage lenders, and ultimately, to homebuyers. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) significantly changed the corporate governance of Freddie Mac. The company’s three mem- GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED ENTERPRISES FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM ber Board of Directors, which had corresponded with the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, was replaced with an eighteen member Board of Directors. In addition, FIRREA converted Freddie Mac’s 60 million shares of non-voting, senior participating preferred stock into voting common stock. Financial data for Freddie Mac is not presented here because Freddie Mac has not provided audited financial results for 2006.

Total liabilities ...................................................................... The Federal Home Loan Bank System is a Governmentsponsored enterprise (GSE) in the housing finance market. The Administration has announced a proposal to strengthen regulation of all the housing GSEs, including the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Federal Home Loan Banks were chartered by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board under the authority of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932 (Act). The 12 Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) are under the supervision of the Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB). The common mission of FHLBanks is to facilitate the extension of credit through their members. To accomplish this mission, FHLBanks make loans, called advances, and provide other credit products and services to their 8,149 member commercial banks, savings associations, insurance companies, and credit unions. Advances and letters of credit must be fully secured by eligible collateral and long-term advances may be made only for the purpose of providing funds for residential housing finance. However, ‘‘community financial institutions’’ may also use long-term advances to finance small businesses, small farms, and small agribusinesses. Additionally, specialized advance programs provide funds for community reinvestment and affordable housing programs. All regulated financial depositories and insurance companies engaged in residential housing finance are eligible for membership. Each FHLBank operates in a geographic district designated by the Board and together FHLBanks cover all of the United States, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands. The principal source of funds for the lending operation is the sale of consolidated obligations to the public. The consolidated obligations are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government as to principal or interest. Other sources of lendable funds include members’ deposits and capital. Funds not immediately needed for advances to members are invested. The capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Banks is owned entirely by the members. Initially the U.S. Government purchased stock of the banks in the amount of $125 million. The banks had repurchased the Government’s investment in full by mid-1951. The Act, as amended in 1989, requires each FHLBank to operate an Affordable Housing Program (AHP). Each FHLBank provides subsidies in the form of direct grants or below-market rate advances for members that use the funds for qualifying affordable housing projects. Each of the FHLBanks must set aside annually the greater of $100 million or 10 percent of its previous year’s net earnings for the AHP. The Act, as amended in 1999, also requires that 1188 THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008 FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM—Continued FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANKS—Continued AGRICULTURAL CREDIT BANK FHLBanks contribute 20 percent of net earnings annually to assist in the payment of interest on bonds issued by the Resolution Funding Corporation. In 2002, the Administration requested all GSEs, including FHLBanks, to voluntarily register their equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This voluntary registration is part of the Administration’s efforts to have GSEs undergo the same scrutiny process as other corporate enterprises. FHFB adopted a rule on June 23, 2004 that requires each FHLBank to register a class of its stock. All of the Federal Home Loan Banks complied by 2006. (Freddie Mac has failed to commence registration with SEC, in spite of its prior commitment to do so. Fannie Mae registered with the SEC effective March 31, 2003, but has not filed financial statements for 2005 or 2006.) For additional discussion and analyses of the FHLBanks, please see the Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget. CoBank, ACB is headquartered in Denver, Colorado and serves eligible cooperatives nationwide, and provides funding to Agricultural Credit Associations (ACAs) in two of its regions. CoBank, ACB is the only Agricultural Credit Bank (ACB) in the Farm Credit System. An ACB operates under statutory authority that combines the authorities of a Farm Credit Bank (FCB) and a Bank for Cooperatives (BC). In exercising its FCB authority, CoBank, ACB’s charter limits its lending to ACAs located in the northeast and northwest regions of the country. As an entity lending to Cooperatives, CoBank is independently chartered to provide credit and related services nationwide to eligible cooperatives primarily engaged in farm supply, grain, marketing, and processing (including sugar and dairy). CoBank also makes loans to rural utilities, including telecommunications companies and it provides international loans for the financing of agricultural exports.

The major functional entities of the system are: 1) Agricultural Credit Bank (ACB); 2) Farm Credit Banks (FCB); and 3) direct lender associations. The history and specific functions of the bank entities are discussed after the presentation of financial schedules for each bank entity. As part of the Farm Credit System (FCS), these entities are regulated and examined by the Farm Credit Administration (FCA), an independent Federal agency. The administrative costs of FCA are financed by assessments of system institutions and the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation. System banks finance loans from sales of bonds to the public and their own capital funds. The system bonds issued by the banks are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government either as to principal or interest. The bonds are backed by an insurance fund, administered by the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (FCSIC), an independent Federal agency that collects insurance premiums from member banks to pay its administrative expenses and fund insurance reserves. All of the banks’ current operating expenses are paid from their own income and do not require budgetary resources from the Federal Government. 1150 Total direct loan obligations ..................................... 95,437 101,162 107,737 Cumulative balance of direct loans outstanding: Outstanding, start of year ............................................. 25,122 28,764 30,476 Disbursements: Direct loan disbursements ................... 95,436 101,162 107,737 Repayments: Repayments and prepayments ................. ¥91,803 ¥99,430 ¥105,737 Write-offs for default: 1263 Direct loans ............................................................... ................... ¥20 ¥20 1264 Other adjustments, net ............................................. 9 ................... ................... 1210 1231 1251 1290 Outstanding, end of year .......................................... 28,764 30,476 32,456 Balance Sheet (in millions of dollars) 2005 actual 1999 Total liabilities .............................................................................

The Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 (1987 Act) required the Federal Land Banks (FLBs) and Federal Intermediate Credit Banks (FICBs) to merge into a Farm Credit Bank (FCB) in each of the 12 Farm Credit districts. FCBs operate under statutory authority that combines the prior authorities of a FLB and of a FICB. No merger occurred in the Jackson district in 1988 because the FLB of Jackson was in receivership. Pursuant to section 410(e) of the 1987 Act, as amended by the Farm Credit Banks Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, FICB of Jackson merged with FCB of Columbia on October 1, 1993. Mergers and consolidations of FCBs across district lines that began in 1992 have continued to date. As a result of this restructuring activity, 4 FCBs, headquartered in the following cities, remain: AgFirst FCB, Columbia, South Carolina; AgriBank FCB, St. Paul, Minnesota; U.S. AgBank, FCB, Wichita, Kansas; and FCB of Texas, Austin, Texas. FCBs serve as discount banks and as of October 1, 2006 provided funds to 9 Federal Land Credit Associations (FLCA) and 86 Agricultural Credit Associations (ACAs). These direct lender associations, in turn, make short-term production loans and long-term real estate loans to eligible farmers and ranchers, and their cooperatives; farm-related businesses; and rural homeowners. FCBs can also lend to local financing institutions, including commercial banks, as authorized by the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended. All the capital stock of FICB’s, from organization in 1923 to December 31, 1956, was held by the U.S. Government. The 1956 Act provided a long-range plan for the eventual ownership of the credit banks by the production credit associations and the gradual retirement of the Government’s investment in the banks. This retirement was accomplished in full on December 31, 1968. The last of the Government capital that had been invested in FLB’s was repaid in 1947.

The Farmer Mac title of the Act was amended by the 1990 farm bill to authorize Farmer Mac to purchase, pool, and securitize the guaranteed portions of farmer program, rural business, and community development loans guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Farmer Mac title was further amended in 1991 to clarify Farmer Mac’s authority to issue debt obligations, provide for the establishment of minimum capital standards, establish the Office of Secondary Market Oversight at the Farm Credit Administration (FCA), and expand the agency’s rulemaking authority. Most recently, the Farm Cred- 1190 THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008 FARM CREDIT SYSTEM—Continued (FARMER MAC) it System Reform Act of 1996 (1996 Act) amended the Farmer Mac title to allow Farmer Mac to purchase loans directly from lenders and to issue and guarantee mortgage-backed securities without requiring that a minimum cash reserve or subordinated (first loss) interest be maintained by poolers as had been required under its original authority. The 1996 Act expanded FCA’s regulatory authority to include provisions for establishing a conservatorship or receivership, if necessary, and provided for increased core capital requirements at Farmer Mac phased in over three years. Farmer Mac operates through two core programs, ‘‘Farmer Mac I,’’ which involves mortgage loans secured by first liens on agricultural real estate or rural housing (qualified loans), and ‘‘Farmer Mac II,’’ which involves the guaranteed portions of USDA guaranteed loans. Farmer Mac operates by: i) purchasing, or committing to purchase, newly originated or existing qualified loans or guaranteed portions from lenders; ii) purchasing ‘‘AgVantage’’ bonds backed by qualified loans or guaranteed portions from lenders; and iii) exchanging qualified loans or guaranteed portions for guaranteed securities. Loans purchased by Farmer Mac are aggregated into pools that back Farmer Mac guaranteed securities which are held by Farmer Mac or sold into the capital markets. Farmer Mac is intended to attract new capital for financing qualified loans and guaranteed portions, foster increased long-term, fixed-rate lending, and provide greater liquidity to agricultural and rural lenders. Farmer Mac is governed by a 15 member Board of Directors. Ten Board members are elected by stockholders, including five by the Farm Credit System and five by commercial lenders. Five are appointed by the President, subject to Senate confirmation. FINANCING Farmer Mac is subject to reporting requirements under securities laws and its guaranteed mortgage-backed securities are subject to registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 and 1934 Securities Acts. REGULATION Farmer Mac is Federally regulated by FCA, acting through its Office of Secondary Market Oversight (OSMO). FCA is responsible for the supervision, examination of, and rulemaking for Farmer Mac.
