SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Need For and Use of Information

Collection

Section 10b(a) of the Federal Home

Loan Bank Act (Bank Act) permits the

Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks)

to make advances under certain

circumstances to qualified nonmember

mortgagees. See 12 U.S.C. 1430b(a).

Section 10b(b) establishes special

expanded collateral requirements for

advances to qualified nonmember

mortgagees that are state housing

finance agencies (SHFAs). Id.

§ 1430b(b). The information collection

contained in section 935.22 of the

Finance Board’s regulations, 12 CFR

935.22, is necessary to enable the

Finance Board to determine whether a

respondent satisfies the statutory and

regulatory requirements to qualify

initially and maintain its status as a

nonmember mortgagee or a SHFA

nonmember mortgagee eligible to

receive FHLBank advances.

The OMB number for the information

collection is 3069–0005. The OMB

clearance for the information collection

expires on September 30, 1996.

In order to qualify for FHLBank

advances, the Finance Board or its

designee must certify a respondent as an

eligible nonmember mortgagee. 12 CFR

935.22(c)(1). The Finance Board uses

the information collection to determine

whether a respondent meets the

nonmember mortgagee eligibility

requirements. The information

collection requires each respondent to

submit documentation to the FHLBank

from which it seeks advances that

shows: (1) it is chartered under law and

has succession; (2) it is subject,

pursuant to statute or regulation, to the

inspection and supervision of a federal,

state, or local government agency; (3) its

principal activity in the mortgage field

consists of lending its own funds; (4) it

is approved by the Department of

Housing and Urban Development as a

‘‘mortgagee’’ under Title II of the

National Housing Act; (5) advances may

be safely made to it, as determined by

the FHLBank; and (6) where applicable,

it qualifies as a SHFA as defined in 12

CFR 935.1. See 12 CFR 935.22(c)(2), (3).

The FHLBank then must submit the

information collected along with its

review of the applicant’s financial

condition to the Finance Board for

review and approval. Id. § 935.22(c)(5).

The Finance Board reviews the

information and notifies the FHLBank of

its determination regarding the
