1. Exemption for Farm Credit System institutions. Pursuant to 12 CFR 617.7000, certain servicers may be considered "qualified lenders" only with respect to loans discounted or pledged pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 2015(b)(1).

(c) Scope of certain sections. (1) § 1024.33(a) only applies to mortgage loans that are secured by a first lien.
