Finance Board, 1625 Eye Street NW.,

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 (FHLBanks) to make advances 

under certain circumstances to certified 

nonmember mortgagees. The Finance 

Board 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 926 of the Finance 

Board regulations (12 CFR part 926) 

implements the statutory eligibility 

requirements and establishes uniform 

review criteria an applicant must meet 

in order to be certified as a housing 

associate by an FHLBank. More 

specifically, sections 926.3 and 926.4 

(12 CFR 926.3–926.4) implement the 

statutory eligibility requirements and 

provide guidance to an applicant on 

how it may satisfy such requirements. 

Section 926.5 (12 CFR 926.5) authorizes 

the FHLBanks to approve or deny all 

applications for certification as a 

housing associate, subject to the 

statutory and regulatory requirements. 

Section 926.6 (12 CFR 926.6) permits an 

applicant to appeal an FHLBank 

decision to deny certification to the 

Finance Board. 

Section 950.17 of the Finance Board 

regulations (12 CFR 950.17) establishes 

the terms and conditions under which 

an FHLBank may make advances to a 

certified housing associate. Section 

950.17 also imposes a continuing 

obligation on a housing associate to 

provide information necessary to 

determine if it remains in compliance 

with applicable statutory and regulatory 

requirements. 

The information collection contained 

in sections 926.1 through 926.6 and 

section 950.17 of the Finance Board 

regulations (12 CFR 926.1–926.6 and 

950.17) is necessary to enable the 

FHLBanks 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 

FHLBank advances. The Finance Board 

requires and uses the information 

collection to determine whether to 

uphold or overrule an FHLBank 

decision to deny housing associate 

certification to an applicant. 

The OMB control number for the 

information collection, which expires 

on November 30, 2005, is 3069–0005. 

The likely respondents include 

applicants for housing associate 

certification and current housing 

associates. 

B. Burden Estimate 

The Finance Board 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). 

The Finance Board estimates the total 

annual average number of maintenance 

respondents, that is, certified housing 

associates, at 63, with 1 response per 

housing associate. The estimate for the 

average hours per maintenance response 

is 1 hour. The estimate for the annual 

hour burden for certified housing 

associates is 63 hours (63 certified 

housing associates × 1 response per 

associate × 1 hour). 

The estimate for the total annual hour 

burden is 78 hours (63 housing 

associates × 1 response per associate × 

1.0 hours + 1 applicant × 1 response per 

applicant × 15 hours). 

C. Comment Request 

In accordance with 5 CFR 1320.8(d), 

the Finance Board published a request 

for public comments regarding this 

information collection in the Federal 

Register on August 1, 2005. See 70 FR 

44099 (August 1, 2005). The 60-day 

comment period closed on September 

30, 2005. 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 estimates 

of the burdens of the collection of 

information; (3) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the
