0849 (Commercial Availability of 

Navigation Devices). On March 17, 2005 

the FCC released a Second Report and 

Order, In the Matter of Implementation 

of Section 304 of the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996, 

Commercial Availability of Navigation 

Devices, CS Docket No. 97–80, FCC 05–

76. In this Second Report and Order, the

deployment of integrated navigation 

devices by multichannel video 

programming distributors in order to 

promote the retail sale of non-integrated 

navigation devices. This extension is 

intended to afford cable operators 

additional time to investigate and 

develop a downloadable security 

solution that will allow common 

reliance by cable operators and 

consumer electronics manufacturers on 

an identical security function without 

the additional costs of physical 

separation inherent in the point-ofdeployment module, or CableCARD, 

solution.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Need For and Use of the Information 

Collection 

Section 4 of the Federal Home Loan 

Bank Act (Bank Act) establishes the 

eligibility requirements an institution 

must meet in order to become a member 

of a Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank). 

See 12 U.S.C. 1424. Part 925 of the 

Finance Board regulations—the 

membership rule—implements section 4 

of the Bank Act. See 12 CFR part 925. 

The membership rule provides uniform 

requirements an applicant for Bank 

membership must meet and review 

criteria a Bank must apply to determine 

if an applicant satisfies the statutory and 

regulatory membership eligibility 

requirements. 

More specifically, the membership 

rule implements the statutory eligibility 

requirements and provides guidance to 

an applicant on how it may satisfy such 

requirements. The rule authorizes a 

Bank to approve or deny each 

membership application subject to the 

statutory and regulatory requirements 

and permits an applicant to appeal to 

the Finance Board a Bank’s decision to 

deny certification as a Bank member. 

The rule also imposes a continuing 

obligation on a current Bank member to 

provide information necessary to 

determine if it remains in compliance 

with applicable statutory and regulatory 

eligibility requirements. 

The information collection is 

contained in sections 925.2 through 

925.31 of the membership rule, 12 CFR 

925.2–925.31, and chapter 2 of the Data 

Reporting Manual, which contains 

instructions addressing data definitions 

as well as requirements concerning data 

elements, reporting format, reporting 

method (e.g., electronic or paper), 

record retention, timeliness, reporting 

frequency, and certification.1 This 

information collection is necessary to 

enable a Bank to determine if a 

respondent satisfies the statutory and 

regulatory requirements to be certified 

initially and maintain its status as a 

member eligible to obtain Bank 

advances. The Finance Board requires 

and uses the information collection to 

determine whether to uphold or 

overrule a Bank’s decision to deny 

member certification to an applicant. 

The OMB control number for the 

information collection is 3069–0004, 

which is due to expire on May 31, 2007. 

The likely respondents are institutions 

that want to be certified as or are 

members of a Bank. 

B. Burden Estimate 

The Finance Board has analyzed the 

cost and hour burden for the four facets 

of the information collection: 

Membership application process, 

minimum capital stock calculation for 

applicants, membership withdrawals, 

and transfer of membership to another 

Bank district. The first notice 

inadvertently omitted the burden 

estimates for the last two of these four 

facets of the information collection. The 

estimate for the total annual hour 

burden for all applicant/member 

respondents is 4,770 hours. The 

estimate for the total annual cost burden 

is $789,285. These estimates are based 

on the following calculations:

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 89 / Wednesday, May 9, 2007 / Notices 26387 

Membership Application Process 

The Finance Board estimates the total 

annual average number of applicants at 

240, with 1 response per applicant. Of 

these 240 applicants, the Finance Board 

estimates that 1 applicant will appeal a 

Bank’s membership determination to 

the Finance Board. The estimate for the 

average hours per application is 19.5 

hours. The estimate for the average 

hours per appeal is 10 hours. The 

estimate for the annual hour burden for 

applicants is 4,690 hours (240 

applicants × 1 response per applicant × 

19.5 hours per response + 1 appellant × 

1 appeal × 10 hours). The estimate for 

the total annual cost burden to 

applicants of the membership 

application process is $778,830. 

Minimum Capital Stock Calculation for 

Applicants 

The Finance Board has excluded 

minimum capital stock calculations for 

current Bank members from this 

information collection because the data 

already is compiled and accounted for 

in the information collection titled 

‘‘Capital Requirements for the Federal 

Home Loan Banks.’’ See 72 FR 7036 

(Feb. 14, 2007) and 72 FR 18479 (April 

12, 2007). The Finance Board estimates 

the total annual average number of 

applicants at 240, with 1 response per 

applicant. The estimate for the average 

hours per capital stock calculation is 0.1 

hours. The estimate for the annual hour 

burden for applicants is 24 hours (240 

applicants × 1 response per applicant × 

0.1 hours per response). The estimate 

for the total annual cost burden to 

applicants of the minimum capital stock 

calculation is $3,168. 

Membership Withdrawals 

The Finance Board estimates the total 

annual average number of members that 

will file to withdraw from Bank 

membership at 14, with 1 filing per 

member. The estimate for the average 

hours per filing is 3.5 hours. The 

estimate for the total annual hour 

burden for membership withdrawals is 

49 hours (14 members × 1 filing × 3.5 

hours). The estimate for the total annual 

cost burden to members of the 

withdrawal from membership process is 

$6,468. 

Transfer of Membership to Another 

Bank District 

The Finance Board estimates the total 

annual average number of members that 

may file to transfer membership to 

another Bank district at 2, with 1 filing 

per member. The estimate for the 

average hours per filing is 3.5 hours. 

The estimate for the total annual hour 

burden for membership transfers 7 

hours (2 members × 1 filing × 3.5 hours). 

The estimate for the total annual cost 

burden to applicants of the transfer of 

membership process is $819. 

C. Comment Request 

In accordance with the requirements 

of 5 CFR 1320.8(d), the Finance Board 

published a request for public 

comments regarding this information 

collection in the Federal Register on 

February 14, 2007. See 72 FR 7036 (Feb. 

14, 2007). The 60-day comment period 

closed on April 16, 2007. The Finance 

Board received no public comments. 

Written comments are requested on: 

(1) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of Finance Board 

functions, including whether the 

information has practical utility; (2) the 

accuracy of the Finance Board’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. 

Comments may be submitted to OMB in 

writing at the address listed above.
