Docket ID Nos. OW–2005–0008 for 

Atrazine and OW–2005–0009 for 

Alachlor. Such deliveries are only 

accepted during the Docket’s normal

II. Background 

A. What Are National Recommended Water 

Quality Criteria? 

B. What Type of Information Does EPA Want 

from the Public? 

C. Where Can I Find More Information on 

EPA’s Revised Process for Developing New 

or Revised Criteria? 

A. What Are National Recommended 

Water Quality Criteria? 

Section 304(a) of the Clean Water Act 

requires the EPA to develop, publish, 

and from time to time revise criteria for 

water that accurately reflect the latest 

scientific knowledge. Water quality 

criteria developed under section 304(a) 

are based solely on data and scientific 

judgements; economic impacts or the 

technological feasibility of meeting the 

criteria in ambient water are not 

considered. Section 304(a) criteria are 

guidance to States and Tribes for 

adopting water quality standards. The 

criteria also provide a scientific basis for 

EPA to develop federal regulations 

under section 303(c). 

B. What Type of Information Does EPA 

Want From the Public? 

EPA recently completed a 

comprehensive review of the available 

toxicity data for Atrazine and Alachlor. 

The list of pertinent references 

identified by the Agency for these two 

chemicals is available from EPA’s 

electronic public docket under Docket 

ID Nos. OW–2005–0008 for Atrazine 

and OW–2005–0009 for Alachlor. EPA 

is soliciting additional pertinent new 

toxicity data or information it might use 

to develop the Ambient Water Quality 

Criteria for these two chemicals. In 

particular, EPA is interested in 

acquiring from the public any new data, 

not identified by the Agency’s literature 

review, on the toxicity and human 

exposure to these chemicals from 

ambient water bodies as well as the 

bioaccumulation of each of these two 

chemicals in aquatic organisms to 

calculate trophic level specific 

bioaccumulation factors; in addition to 

seeking input on the references known 

to the Agency, EPA is also soliciting any 

additional pertinent data or information 

that may be useful in developing these 

criteria, particularly new data on the 

toxicity of these two chemicals. You 

should adequately document any data 

you submit. It should also contain 

enough supporting information to show 

that acceptable test procedures were 

used. 

Please refer to the EPA’s 

‘‘Methodology for Deriving Ambient 

Water Quality Criteria for the Protection 

of Human Health—2000’’ (EPA–822–B–

00–004, October 2000 and EPA–822–R–

03–030, December 2003); for guidance 

on data suitability. These documents are 

available at the EPA website under 

using the following link, http:// 

www.epa.gov/waterscience/criteria/ 

humanhealth/method/index.html. It is 

also available from EPA’s electronic 

public docket at http://www.epa.gov/ 

edocket/. 

C. Where Can I Find More Information 

on EPA’s Revised Process for Developing 

New or Revised Criteria? 

The Agency published detailed 

information about its revised process for 

developing and revising criteria in the 

Federal Register on December 10, 1998 

(63 FR 68354) and in the EPA 

documents entitled ‘‘Methodology for 

Deriving Ambient Water Quality Criteria 

for the Protection of Human Health’’

(vol 1 on Risk Assessment, EPA–822–B–

00–004, October 2000; and vol 2 on 

Bioaccumulation, EPA–822–R–03–030, 

December 2003). The revised process 

provides greater opportunities for public 

input and makes the criteria 

development process more efficient. A 

copy of the technical information that 

will be used to derive the atrazine and 

alachlor criteria are available in the 

EPA’s Interim Registration Eligibility 

Document (IRED) for Atrazine (2003) 

that is available at http://www.epa.gov/ 

oppsrrd1/reregistration/atrazine and the 

Registration Eligibility Document (RED) 

for Alachlor (1998) that is available at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Need For and Use of the Information 

Collection 

Section 10(g)(1) of the Federal Home 

Loan Bank Act (Bank Act) requires the 

Finance Board to promulgate 

regulations establishing standards of 

community investment or service that 

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLBank) 

members must meet in order to 

maintain access to long-term advances. 

See 12 U.S.C. 1430(g)(1). In establishing 

these community support requirements 

for FHLBank members, the Finance 

Board must take into account factors 

such as the FHLBank member’s 

performance under the Community 

Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA), 12 

U.S.C. 2901, et seq., and record of 

lending to first-time homebuyers. 12 

U.S.C. 1430(g)(2). Part 944 of the 

Finance Board regulations implements 

section 10(g) of the Bank Act. See 12 

CFR part 944. The rule provides 

uniform community support standards 

all FHLBank members must meet and 

review criteria Finance Board staff must 

apply to determine compliance with 

section 10(g). More specifically, section 

944.2 of the rule (12 CFR 944.2) 

implements the statutory community 

support requirement and requires each 

member selected for review to submit a 

completed Community Support 

Statement Form to the Finance Board. A 

copy of the Community Support 

Statement Form is attached to this 

Notice. Section 944.3 (12 CFR 944.3) 

establishes community support 

standards for the two statutory factors—

CRA and first-time homebuyer 

performance—and provides guidance to 

a respondent on how it may satisfy the 

standards. Sections 944.4 and 944.5 (12 

CFR 944.4–5) establish the procedures 

and criteria the Finance Board uses in 

determining whether FHLBank 

members satisfy the statutory and 

regulatory community support 

requirements. 

The information collection contained 

in the Community Support Statement 

Form and sections 944.2 through 944.5 

of the rule is necessary to enable and is 

used by the Finance Board to determine 

whether FHLBank members satisfy the 

statutory and regulatory community 

support requirements. Only FHLBank 

members that meet these requirements 

may maintain continued access to longterm FHLBank advances. See 12 U.S.C. 

1430(g). 

The OMB number for the information 

collection is 3069–0003. The OMB 

clearance for the information collection 

expires on February 28, 2006. The likely 

respondents are institutions that are 

members of an FHLBank. 

B. Burden Estimate 

The Finance Board estimates the total 

annual average number of respondents 

at 5155 FHLBank members, with one 

response per member. The estimate for 

the average hours per response is one 

hour. The estimate for the total annual 

hour burden is 5155 hours (5155 

members x 1 response per member x 1 

hour). 

C. Comment Request 

The Finance Board requests written 

comments on the following: (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 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. 

Dated: October 7, 2005. 

By the Federal Housing Finance Board. 

John P. Kennedy, 

General Counsel.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Selection for Community Support 

Review 

Section 10(g)(1) of the Federal Home 

Loan Bank Act (Bank Act) requires the 

Finance Board to promulgate 

regulations establishing standards of 

community investment or service Bank 

members must meet in order to 

maintain access to long-term advances. 

See 12 U.S.C. 1430(g)(1). The 

regulations promulgated by the Finance 

Board must take into account factors 

such as the Bank member’s performance 

under the Community Reinvestment Act 

of 1977 (CRA), 12 U.S.C. 2901 et seq., 

and record of lending to first-time 

homebuyers. See 12 U.S.C. 1430(g)(2). 

Pursuant to section 10(g) of the Bank 

Act, the Finance Board has promulgated 

a community support requirements 

regulation that establishes standards a 

Bank member must meet in order to 

maintain access to long-term advances, 

and review criteria the Finance Board 

must apply in evaluating a member’s 

community support performance. See 

12 CFR part 944. The regulation 

includes standards and criteria for the 

two statutory factors—CRA performance 

and record of lending to first-time 

homebuyers. 12 CFR 944.3. Only 

members subject to the CRA must meet 

the CRA standard. 12 CFR 944.3(b). All 

members, including those not subject to 

CRA, must meet the first-time 

homebuyer standard. 12 CFR 944.3(c). 

Under the rule, the Finance Board 

selects approximately one-eighth of the 

members in each Bank district for 

community support review each 

calendar quarter. 12 CFR 944.2(a). The 

Finance Board will not review an 

institution’s community support 

performance until it has been a Bank 

member for at least one year. Selection 

for review is not, nor should it be 

construed as, any indication of either 

the financial condition or the 

community support performance of the 

member. 

Each Bank member selected for 

review must complete a Community 

Support Statement and submit it to the 

Finance Board by the November 28, 

2005 deadline prescribed in this notice. 

12 CFR 944.2(b)(1)(ii) and (c). On or 

before October 31, 2005, each Bank will 

notify the members in its district that 

have been selected for the 2004–05 

seventh quarter community support 

review cycle that they must complete 

and submit to the Finance Board by the 

deadline a Community Support 

Statement. 12 CFR 944.2(b)(2)(i). The 

member’s Bank will provide a blank 

Community Support Statement Form, 

which also is available on the Finance 

Board’s Web site: WWW.FHFB.GOV. 

Upon request, the member’s Bank also 

will provide assistance in completing 

the Community Support Statement.
