[NOTICE 2021–02] 

Filing Dates for the Louisiana Special 

Election in the 5th Congressional 

District Special Election 

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of filing dates for special 

election. 

SUMMARY: Louisiana has scheduled a 

Special General Election on March 20, 

2021, to fill its U.S. House of 

Representatives seat in the 5th 

Congressional District following the 

passing of Representative-elect Luke J. 

Letlow. Under Louisiana law, a majority 

winner in a Special General Election is 

declared elected. Should no candidate 

achieve a majority vote, a Special 

Runoff Election will be held on April 

24, 2021, between the top two votegetters. Political committees 

participating in the Louisiana special 

elections are required to file pre- and 

post-election reports. Filing deadlines 

for these reports are affected by whether 

one or two elections are held.

Elizabeth S. Kurland, Information

Special General Election shall file a 12-

books for the applicable report(s). (See 

charts below for the closing date for

General and/or Special Runoff Elections

FEDERAL HOUSING FINANCE 

AGENCY 

[No. 2021–N–1] 

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 is used in 

determining whether a Federal Home 

Loan Bank (Bank) member qualifies as 

a ‘‘community financial institution’’ 

(CFI) to $1,239,000,000, 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, 2021.

Home Loan Bank Regulation, (202) 649–

Agency, Constitution Center, 400 

Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 

20219. 

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 CFI certain 

advantages over non-CFI insured 

depository institutions in qualifying for 

Bank membership, and in the purposes 

for which they may receive long-term 

advances and the collateral they may 

pledge to secure advances.1 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 the statutory 

cap.2 The Bank Act was amended in 

2008 to set the statutory cap at $1 

billion and to require FHFA to adjust 

the cap annually to reflect the 

percentage increase in the CPI–U, as 

published by the DOL.3 For 2020, FHFA 

set the CFI asset cap at $1,224,000,000, 

which reflected a 2.1 percent increase 

over 2019, based upon the increase in 

the CPI–U between 2019 and 2020.4

II. The CFI Asset Cap for 2021 

As of January 1, 2021, FHFA has 

increased the CFI asset cap to 

$1,239,000,000, which reflects a 1.2 

percent increase in the unadjusted CPI– 

U from November 2019 to November 

2020. 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. The new CFI asset cap was 

obtained by applying the percentage 

increase in the CPI–U to the unrounded 

amount for the preceding year and 

rounding to the nearest million, as has 

been FHFA’s practice for all previous 

adjustments. 

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.
