OMB Number: 1505–0224. 

Type of Review: Renewal. 

Title: New Issue Bond Program and 

Temporary Credit and Liquidity 

Program. 

Description: Authorized under section 

304(g) of the Federal National Mortgage 

Association Charter Act (12 U.S.C. 

1719(g)) and Section 306(l) of the 

Federal Home Loan Mortgage 

Corporation Act (12 U.S.C. 1455(l), as 

amended by the Housing and Economic 

Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008 (Pub. L. 

110–289; approved July 30, 2008) the 

Department of the Treasury (Treasury) is 

implementing two programs under the 

HFA (Housing Finance Agency) 

Initiative. The statute provides the 

Secretary authority to purchase 

securities and obligations of Fannie Mae 

and Freddie Mac (the GSEs) as he 

determines necessary to stabilize the 

financial markets, prevent disruptions 

in the availability of mortgage finance, 

and to protect the taxpayer. On 

December 4, 2009, the Secretary made 

the appropriate determination to 

authorize the two programs of the HFA 

Initiative: the New Issue Bond Program 

(NIBP) and the Temporary Credit and 

Liquidity Program (TCLP). Under the 

NIBP, Treasury has purchased securities 

from the GSEs backed by mortgage 

revenue bonds issued by participating 

state and local HFAs. Under the TCLP, 

Treasury has purchased a participation 

interest from the GSEs in temporary 

credit and liquidity facilities provided 

to participating HFAs as a liquidity 

backstop on their variable-rate debt. In 

order to properly manage the two 

programs of the initiative, continue to 

protect the taxpayer, and assure 

compliance with the Programs’ 

provisions, Treasury is instituting a 

series of data collection requirements to 

be completed by participating HFAs and 

furnished to Treasury through the GSEs. 

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit institutions, and not-for-profit 

institutions.
