a legislative provision requiring school 

food authorities participating in the 

National School Lunch Program (NSLP) 

or the School Breakfast Program (SBP) 

to develop a school food safety program 

for the preparation and service of school 

meals served to children. The Office of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

December 15, 2009 (74 FR 66213), final 

rule implemented a legislative provision 

which requires school food authorities 

participating in the National School 

Lunch Program (NSLP) or the School 

Breakfast Program (SBP) to develop a 

school food safety program for the 

preparation and service of school meals 

served to children. The school food 

safety program must be based on the 

(HACCP) system established by the 

Secretary of Agriculture. The food safety 

program enables schools to take 

systematic action to prevent or 

minimize the risk of food-borne illness 

among children participating in the 

NSLP and SBP. The information 

collection requirements were approved 

by OMB on December 30, 2009.

Federal Home Loan Bank Housing 

Associates, Core Mission Activities 

and Standby Letters of Credit 

AGENCY: Federal Housing Finance 

Agency, Federal Housing Finance 

Board. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Finance 

Agency (FHFA) is transferring 

regulations of the former Federal 

Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) 

to the FHFA’s regulations. These 

regulations address, respectively, 

Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank) 

housing associates, the Banks’ core 

mission activities, and Bank issuance of 

standby letters of credits. FHFA is not 

making any substantive amendments to 

these regulations, and is making only 

those changes that are necessary to 

accomplish the transfer and to account 

for the fact that FHFA has succeeded the 

Finance Board as the regulator for the 

Banks. 

DATES: This rule is effective March 26, 

2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On July 30, 2008, the Housing and 

Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA), 

Public Law 110–289, 122 Stat. 2654 

(2008), became law and created FHFA 

as an independent agency of the Federal 

Government. Among other things, 

HERA transferred to FHFA the 

supervisory and oversight 

responsibilities over the Banks that 

formerly had been vested in the now 

abolished Finance Board. The Banks 

continue to operate under regulations 

promulgated by the Finance Board until 

such time as the existing regulations are 

supplanted by regulations promulgated 

by FHFA. 

II. The Final Regulation 

The final regulation relocates rules 

addressing Bank housing associates 

from part 926 of the Finance Board 

regulations to part 1263 of the FHFA 

regulations; the Banks’ core mission 

activities from part 940 of the Finance 

Board regulations to part 1265 of the 

FHFA regulations and Bank issuance of 

standby letters of credit from part 960 of 

the Finance Board regulations to part 

1269 of the FHFA regulations. This 

rulemaking is part of FHFA’s efforts to 

transfer the regulations of the former 

Finance Board from 12 CFR chapter IX, 

to 12 CFR chapter XII, which contains 

the FHFA regulations. The rule also 

makes conforming changes to references 

to reflect the new part numbers and will 

add to the new parts definitions that are 

contained in part 900 of the Finance 

Board regulations and are applicable to 

all regulations contained in 12 CFR 

chapter IX (but would not be applicable 

to the regulations after they are 

transferred to 12 CFR chapter XII). The 

rule also changes references such as 

those to the Finance Board, to conform 

to statutory changes made by HERA.
