Summary

If a loan is put into a pool of qualified loans that back securities or other obligations guaranteed by the Corporation, then the borrower-protection laws in sections 2202, 2202a, 2202b, 2202d, and 2219a do not apply. The Corporation must set loan-servicing rules that follow the kinds of standards used by other federally sponsored secondary market facilities. When applying for a loan from a Farm Credit System institution, the lender must give a written notice showing separate terms for pooled and non‑pooled loans. The notice must say the loan may be pooled and that, if pooled, the listed sections will not apply. The notice must also tell the applicant they can refuse pooling. Within 3 days after the loan commitment, the applicant can refuse pooling and keep the rights under sections 2202, 2202a, 2202b, 2202d, and 2219a.

(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of law, section 2202, 2202a, 2202b, 2202d, and 2219a of this title shall not apply to any loan included in a pool of qualified loans backing securities or obligations for which the Corporation provides guarantee. The loan servicing standards established by the Corporation shall be patterned after similar standards adopted by other federally sponsored secondary market facilities.
(b)At the time of application for a loan (as defined in section 2202a(a)(5) of this title), originators that are Farm Credit System institutions shall give written notice to each applicant of the terms and conditions of the loan, setting forth separately terms and conditions for pooled loans and loans that are not pooled. This notice shall include a statement, if applicable, that the loan may be pooled and that, if pooled, section 2202, 2202a, 2202b, 2202d, and 2219a of this title shall not apply. This notice also shall inform the applicant that he or she has the right not to have the loan pooled. Within 3 days from the time of commitment, an applicant has the right to refuse to allow the loan to be pooled, thereby retaining rights under section 2202, 2202a, 2202b, 2202d, and 2219a of this title, if applicable.
