SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Need For and Use of the Information 

Collection 

Section 10b of the Federal Home Loan 

Bank Act (Bank Act) (12 U.S.C. 1430b) 

authorizes the Federal Home Loan 

Banks (Banks) to make advances under 

certain circumstances to certified 

nonmember mortgagees. FHFA refers to 

nonmember mortgagees as ‘‘housing 

associates.’’ In order to be certified as a 

housing associate, an applicant must 

meet the eligibility requirements set 

forth in section 10b of the Bank Act. 

Part 1264 of FHFA’s regulations 

implements the statutory eligibility 

requirements and establishes uniform 

review criteria an applicant must meet 

in order to be certified as a housing 

associate by a Bank.1 More specifically, 

§§ 1264.3 and 1264.4 (12 CFR 1264.3– 

1264.4) implement the statutory 

eligibility requirements and provide 

guidance to an applicant on how it may 

satisfy those requirements.2 Section 

1264.5 authorizes the Banks to approve 

or deny all applications for certification 

as a housing associate, subject to the 

statutory and regulatory requirements.3

Section 1264.6 permits an applicant to 

appeal a Bank decision to deny 

certification to the FHFA.4

Section 1266.17 of FHFA’s regulations 

establishes the terms and conditions 

under which a Bank may make 

advances to an housing associate and 

also imposes a continuing obligation on 

each housing associate to provide 

information necessary to determine if it 

remains in compliance with applicable 

statutory and regulatory requirements.5

The information collection contained 

in §§ 1266.1 through 1266.6 and 

§ 1266.17 of the regulations is necessary 

to enable the Banks to determine 

whether an applicant satisfies the 

statutory and regulatory requirements to 

be certified initially and maintain its 

status as a housing associate eligible to 

receive Bank advances. The FHFA 

requires and uses the information 

collection to determine whether to 

uphold or overrule a Bank decision to 

deny housing associate certification to 

an applicant. 

The OMB control number for the 

information collection, which expires 

on July 31, 2012, is 2590–0001. The 

likely respondents include applicants 

for housing associate certification and 

current housing associates. 

B. Burden Estimate 

FHFA estimates the total annual 

average number of applicants at one, 

with one response per applicant. The 

estimate for the average hours per 

application is 15 hours. The estimate for 

the annual hour burden for applicants is 

15 hours (1 applicant × 1 response per 

applicant × 15 hours). 

FHFA estimates the total annual 

average number of maintenance 

respondents—that is, current housing 

associates—at 68, with 1 response per 

housing associate. The estimate for the 

average hours per maintenance response 

is one hour. The estimate for the annual 

hour burden for current housing 

associates is 68 hours (68 certified 

housing associates × 1 response per 

associate × 1 hour). 

The estimate for the total annual hour 

burden is 83 hours (68 housing 

associates × 1 response per associate × 

1 hour + 1 applicant × 1 response per 

applicant × 15 hours). 

C. Comment 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 applicants 

and housing associates, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology.
