In subsection (b)(2)(B), the words “Farm Credit Act of 1971 (12 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.)” are substituted for “Federal Farm Loan Act” and “Farm Credit Act of 1933” because of section 5.40(a), formerly 5.26(a), of the Farm Credit Act of 1971 (Pub. L. 92181, 12 U.S.C. 2001 note). In subsection (b)(2)(C), the words “Home Owners Loan Act” are substituted for “Home Owners Loan Act of 1933” because of the amendment to 12:1461 made by Public Law 10173.
