Fart Credit Administration - Compensation of
Deputy Governors

    Compensation of Deputy Gevarnors,
    Farm Credit Administration, is
    authori)-ed to be fixed at not to
    exceed the maximum scheduled rate
    of General Schedule. Such com-
    pensation, although not limit..d by
    compensation of Governor an6 not
    subject to classification provisions,
    may not exceed rate for level V of
    Executive Schedule, since effect of
    5 U.S.C. 5308 is to limit maximum
    schaduled rate of General Schedule
    to level V rate.  Hiher amounts
    shown on General Schedule are merely
    projections of what rates would be
    without this limitation.


     By letter dated October 29, 1976, Daniel L. Monson, the
General Counsel of the Farm Credit Administration (FCA), requests
our opinion as to whether the compensation payable to the five
Deputy Governors of FCA is limited by the compensation of the Gov-
ernox.  It is the vtctz of FCA that it is not and that the compen-
sation of the Deputy Governors may be set at any rate which does
not exceed $54,410, the rate published for grade GS-18 of the
General Schedule by Executive Order 11941, October 1, 1976, with-
out regard to 5 U.S.C. 5308 (1970) which limits pay to the rate
of basic pay for level V of the Executive Schedule, currently
$39,600.

     The administration and operAtion of FCA is presently governed
primarily by the Farm Credit Act of 1971, Public Law 92-181, ap-
proved December 10, 1971, 85 Stat. 583 (12 U.S.C. 2001 et seg.
(Supp. V, 1975)). This  legislation provides in pertinent part
as follows:

          Sec. 5.7. THE FARM CREDIT ADMINISTRATION.-
     The Farm Credit Administration shall be an indepen-
     dent agency in the executive branch of the Govern-
     ment. * * * (12 U.S.C. 2241)
