III. What is the agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that 

a registrant of a pesticide product may 

at any time request that any of its 

pesticide registrations be canceled. 

FIFRA further provides that, before 

acting on the request, EPA must publish 

a notice of receipt of any such request 

in the Federal Register. 

Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA requires 

that before acting on a request for 

voluntary cancellation, EPA must 

provide a 30–day public comment 

period on the request for voluntary 

cancellation or use termination. In 

addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C) 

requires that EPA provide a 180–day 

comment period on a request for 

voluntary cancellation or termination of 

any minor agricultural use before 

granting the request, unless: 

1. The registrants request a waiver of 

the comment period, or 

2. The EPA Administrator determines 

that continued use of the pesticide 

would pose an unreasonable adverse 

effect on the environment. 

The registrants in Table 2 of Unit II. 

have not requested that EPA waive the 

180–day comment period. Accordingly, 

EPA will provide a 180–day comment 

period on the proposed requests. 

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Request 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for cancellation should submit 

such withdrawal in writing to the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products 

have been subject to a previous 

cancellation action, the effective date of 

cancellation and all other provisions of 

any earlier cancellation action are 

controlling. 

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing 

Stocks 

Existing stocks are those stocks of 

registered pesticide products that are 

currently in the United States and that 

were packaged, labeled, and released for 

shipment prior to the effective date of 

the cancellation action. 

A. Disposition of Existing Stocks for All 

Table 1 Products except EPA Reg. No. 

61282–7 

Because the Agency has identified no 

significant potential risk concerns 

associated with these pesticide 

products, upon cancellation of the 

products identified in Table 1 of Unit 

II., EPA anticipates allowing registrants 

to sell and distribute existing stocks of 

these products for 1 year after 

publication of the Cancellation Order in 

the Federal Register. Thereafter, 

registrants will be prohibited from 

selling or distributing the pesticides 

identified in Table 1 of Unit II., except 

for export consistent with FIFRA section 

17 or for proper disposal. Persons other 

than registrants will generally be

[No. 2011–N–01] 

Notice of Annual Adjustment of the 

Cap on Average Total Assets That 

Defines Community Financial 

Institutions 

AGENCY: Federal Housing Finance 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Finance 

Agency (FHFA) has adjusted the cap on 

average total assets that defines a 

‘‘Community Financial Institution’’ 

based on the annual percentage increase 

in the Consumer Price Index for all 

urban consumers (CPI–U) as published 

by the Department of Labor (DOL). 

These changes took effect on January 1, 

2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Statutory and Regulatory Background 

The Federal Home Loan Bank Act 

(Bank Act) confers upon insured 

depository institutions that meet the 

statutory definition of a ‘‘Community 

Financial Institution’’ (CFI) certain 

advantages over non-CFI insured 

depository institutions in qualifying for 

Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank) 

membership, and in the purposes for 

which they may receive long-term 

advances and the collateral they may 

pledge to secure advances. See 12 U.S.C. 

1424(a), 1430(a). Section 2(10)(A) of the 

Bank Act and § 1263.1 of FHFA’s 

regulations define a CFI as any Bank 

member the deposits of which are 

insured by the Federal Deposit 

Insurance Corporation and that has 

average total assets below a statutory 

cap. See 12 U.S.C. 1422(10)(A); 12 CFR 

1263.1. The Bank Act was amended in 

2008 to set the statutory cap at $1 

billion and to require the Director of 

FHFA to adjust the cap annually to 

reflect the percentage increase in the 

CPI–U, as published by the DOL, for the 

prior year. See 12 U.S.C. 1422(10); 12 

CFR 1263.1 (defining the term CFI asset 

cap). For 2010, FHFA set the CFI asset 

cap at $1,029,000,000, which reflected a 

1.8 percent increase over 2009, based 

upon the increase in the CPI–U between 

2008 and 2009. See 75 FR 9601 (Mar. 3, 

2010). 

II. The CFI Asset Cap for 2011 

As of January 1, 2011, FHFA has 

increased the CFI asset cap from 

$1,029,000,000 to $1,040,000,000, 

which reflects a 1.1 percent increase in 

the unadjusted CPI–U from November 

2009 to November 2010. The new 

amount was obtained by rounding to the 

nearest million, as has been the practice 

for all prior adjustments. Consistent 

with the practice of other Federal 

agencies, FHFA bases the annual 

adjustment to the CFI asset cap on the 

percentage increase in the CPI–U from 

November of the year prior to the 

preceding calendar year to November of 

the preceding calendar year, because the 

November figures represent the most 

recent available data as of January 1st of 

the current calendar year. 

In calculating the CFI asset cap, FHFA 

uses CPI–U data that have not been 

seasonally adjusted (i.e., the data have 

not been adjusted to remove the 

estimated effect of price changes that 

normally occur at the same time and in 

about the same magnitude every year). 

The DOL encourages use of unadjusted 

CPI–U data in applying ‘‘escalation’’ 

provisions such as that governing the 

CFI asset cap, because the factors that 

are used to seasonally adjust the data 

are amended annually, and seasonally 

adjusted data that are published earlier 

are subject to revision for up to five 

years following their original release. 

Unadjusted data are not routinely 

subject to revision, and previously 

published unadjusted data are only 

corrected when significant calculation 

errors are discovered. 

Dated: January 11, 2011. 

Edward J. DeMarco, 

Acting Director, Federal Housing Finance 

Agency.
