Authentication Trust Anchor, WC 

Docket No. 17–97, Second Report and 

Order, FCC 20–136 (adopted Sept. 29, 

2020). The Second Report and Order 

implemented section 4(b)(1)(B) of the 

TRACED Act, in part, by requiring a 

voice service provider maintain and be 

ready to provide the Commission upon 

request with documented proof that it is 

participating, either on its own or 

through a representative, including 

third party representatives, as a member 

of a working group, industry standards 

group, or consortium that is working to 

develop a non-Internet Protocol caller 

identification authentication solution, 

or actively testing such a solution. The 

Second Report and Order also 

implemented the extension mechanisms 

in section 4(b)(5) by, in part, requiring 

voice service providers to certify that 

they have either implemented STIR/ 

SHAKEN or a robocall mitigation 

program. And finally, the Second Report 

and Order completed the 

implementation of the exemption 

process of 4(b)(2) by requiring voice 

service providers file a second 

certification after June 30, 2021 to verify 

that they met the criteria to receive their 

exemption.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Need for and Use of the Information 

Collection 

Section 7 of the Federal Home Loan 

Bank Act (Bank Act) vests the 

management of each Federal Home Loan 

Bank (Bank) in its board of directors.1

As required by section 7, each Bank’s 

board comprises two types of directors: 

(1) Member directors, who are drawn 

from the officers and directors of 

member institutions located in the 

Bank’s district and who are elected to 

represent members in a particular state 

in that district; and (2) independent 

directors, who are unaffiliated with any 

of the Bank’s member institutions, but 

who reside in the Bank’s district and are

elected on an at-large basis.2 Both types 

of directors serve four-year terms, which 

are staggered so that approximately onequarter of a Bank’s total directorships 

are up for election every year.3 Section 

7 and FHFA’s implementing regulation, 

codified at 12 CFR part 1261, establish 

the eligibility requirements for both 

types of Bank directors and the 

professional qualifications for 

independent directors, and set forth the 

procedures for their election. 

Part 1261 of the regulations requires 

that each Bank administer its own 

annual director election process. As part 

of this process, a Bank must require 

each nominee for both types of 

directorship, including any incumbent 

that may be a candidate for re-election, 

to complete and return to the Bank a 

form that solicits information about the 

candidate’s statutory eligibility to serve 

and, in the case of independent director 

candidates, about his or her professional 

qualifications for the directorship being 

sought.4 Specifically, member director 

candidates are required to complete the 

Federal Home Loan Bank Member 

Director Eligibility Certification Form 

(Member Director Eligibility 

Certification Form), while independent 

director candidates must complete the 

Federal Home Loan Bank Independent 

Director Application Form (Independent 

Director Application Form). Each Bank 

must also require all of its incumbent 

directors to certify annually that they 

continue to meet all eligibility 

requirements.5 Member directors do this 

by completing the Member Director 

Eligibility Certification Form again every 

year, while independent directors 

complete the abbreviated Federal Home 

Loan Bank Independent Director 

Annual Certification Form (Independent 

Director Annual Certification Form) to 

certify their ongoing eligibility. 

The Banks use the information 

collection contained in the Independent 

Director Application Form and part 

1261 to determine whether individuals 

who wish to stand for election or reelection as independent directors satisfy 

the statutory eligibility requirements 

and possess the professional 

qualifications required under the statute 

and regulations. Only individuals 

meeting those requirements and 

qualifications may serve as an 

independent director.6 On an annual 

basis, the Banks use the information 

collection contained in the Independent 

Director Annual Certification Form and 

part 1261 to determine whether its 

incumbent independent directors 

continue to meet the statutory eligibility 

requirements. The Banks use the 

information collection contained in the 

Member Director Eligibility Certification 

Form and part 1261 to determine 

whether individuals who wish to stand 

for election or re-election as member 

directors satisfy the statutory eligibility 

requirements. Only individuals meeting 

these requirements may serve as a 

member director.7 On an annual basis, 

the Banks also use the information 

collection contained in the Member 

Director Eligibility Certification Form 

and part 1261 to determine whether its 

incumbent member directors continue 

to meet the statutory eligibility 

requirements. 

The OMB control number for this 

information collection is 2590–0006. 

The current clearance for the 

information collection expired on 

February 28, 2021. The likely 

respondents are individuals who are 

prospective and incumbent Bank 

directors. 

B. Revisions to the Existing Bank 

Director Forms 

In advance of the 2021 Bank director 

election cycle, FHFA is revising each of 

the three Bank Director Application and 

Certification forms, all of which have 

existed in substantially their current 

form since the current statutory 

requirements for Bank directors were 

adopted in 2008. 

The Independent Director Application 

Form, by far the longest of the three 

forms at eight pages and requiring a 

number of essay-type answers, is 

completed by all independent 

directorship nominees, including 

incumbents seeking re-nomination. The 

information requested on the form is 

intended to confirm that the nominee is 

legally eligible to serve as an 

independent director, has the required 

professional qualifications for the type 

of independent directorship being 

sought, and is of high personal integrity 

and to identify any potential conflicts of 

interest of which the Bank should be 

aware. The proposed revisions would 

tie the questions more closely to 

statutory and regulatory requirements, 

provide more structured answer choices 

so as to ensure responses are relevant, 

solicit more comprehensive information 

on issues about which the Bank must 

weigh facts to make a legal judgment 

about the nominee’s eligibility, and 

move most instructions to a separate 

sheet and otherwise streamline the 

questions. The revisions should allow 

nominees to complete the form more 

quickly by providing preset answer 

choices for many questions, permitting 

attachments in answer to certain 

questions, and eliminating some 

superfluous questions. FHFA estimates 

that, in addition to encouraging more 

accurate and complete answers, the 

revisions will reduce the amount of time 

it takes a nominee to complete the form 

from three to two hours. 

The Independent Director Annual 

Certification Form, which runs two 

pages including instruction, is 

completed by incumbent independent 

directors annually to certify that they 

remain legally eligible to serve. The 

existing form provides independent 

directors with the option merely to 

check a box stating that ‘‘no changes 

have occurred’’ with respect to the 

director’s compliance with the statutory 

eligibility requirements. In the Agency’s 

view, providing this option has resulted 

in some independent directors 

overlooking changes in residence or 

employment that might render them 

ineligible to continue to serve. As 

revised, the form would require 

independent directors to provide 

current information on residence and 

employment to allow the Bank to 

determine whether there may be new 

information leading to eligibility 

concerns. 

The Member Director Eligibility 

Certification Form, which includes oneand-a-half pages of questions and two 

pages of instructions (reflecting the fact 

that the form is used for multiple 

purposes), is completed both by 

nominees running for a member 

directorship and annually by incumbent 

member directors to certify their 

continuing eligibility. The form is 

designed to confirm that member 

directors and member directorship 

nominees are legally eligible to serve in 

the directorship positions they occupy 

or are seeking. Although some questions 

on the form will be revised to provide 

preset answers, the substance of 

questions on the revised form will 

remain essentially the same as those on 

the existing form. The Member Director 

Eligibility Certification Form was most 

recently revised in August 2020 to 

remove a notarization requirement 

(neither of the other two Bank director 

forms had such a requirement). 

The revised questions, including 

preset answer selections, and 

instructions for each of the Bank 

director forms appear at the end of this 

notice. The final formatting of the 

revised forms has yet to be determined.

C. Burden Estimate 

FHFA estimates the total annual hour 

burden imposed upon respondents by 

the three Bank director forms 

comprising this information collection 

to be 119 hours (39 hours + 50 hours + 

30 hours = 119 hours, as detailed 

below). 

The Agency estimates the total annual 

hour burden on all member director 

candidates and incumbent member 

directors associated with review and 

completion of the Member Director 

Eligibility Certification Form to be 39 

hours. This includes a total annual 

average of 72 member director nominees 

(24 open seats per year with three 

nominees for each) completing the form 

as an application, with 1 response per 

nominee taking an average of 15 

minutes (.25 hours) (72 respondents × 

.25 hours = 18 hours). It also includes 

a total annual average of 84 incumbent 

member directors not up for election 

completing the form as an annual 

certification, with 1 response per 

individual taking an average of 15 

minutes (.25 hours) (84 individuals × 

.25 hours = 21 hours). 

The Agency estimates the total annual 

hour burden on all independent director 

candidates associated with review and 

completion of the Independent Director 

Application Form to be 50 hours. This 

includes a total annual average of 25 

independent director candidates (22 

open seats per year, plus three 

vacancies, with one nominee for each), 

with 1 response per individual taking an 

average of 2.0 hours (25 individuals × 

2.0 hours = 50 hours). 

The Agency estimates the total annual 

hour burden on all incumbent 

independent directors associated with 

review and completion of the 

Independent Director Annual 

Certification Form to be 30 hours. This 

includes a total annual average of 60 

incumbent independent directors not up 

for election, with 1 response per 

individual taking an average of 30 

minutes (.5 hours) (60 individuals × .5 

hours = 30 hours). 

D. Comments Request 

FHFA requests written comments on 

the following: (1) Whether the collection 

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of FHFA functions, 

including whether the information has 

practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

FHFA’s estimates of the burdens of the 

collection of information; (3) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
