25538 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 101 / Thursday, May 28, 2009 / Notices 

subject to the statutory and regulatory 

requirements. Section 926.6 (12 CFR 

926.6) permits an applicant to appeal a 

Bank decision to deny certification to 

the FHFA. 

12 CFR part 950, specifically section 

950.17 (12 CFR 950.17), establishes the 

terms and conditions under which a 

Bank 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 (12 CFR 926.1–926.6 and 

950.17) 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 June 30, 2009, is 2590–0001. The 

likely respondents include applicants 

for housing associate certification and 

current housing associates. 

B. Burden Estimate 

The 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). 

The FHFA estimates the total annual 

average number of maintenance 

respondents, that is, certified housing 

associates, at 65, 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 certified housing 

associates is 65 hours (65 certified 

housing associates × 1 response per 

associate × 1 hour). 

The estimate for the total annual hour 

burden is 80 hours (65 housing 

associates × 1 response per associate × 

1 hour + 1 applicant × 1 response per 

applicant × 15 hours). 

C. Comment Request 

In accordance with 5 CFR 1320.8(d), 

the FHFA published a request for public 

comments regarding this information 

collection in the Federal Register on 

December 29, 2008. See 73 FR 79484 

(December 29, 2008). The 60-day 

comment period closed on February 27, 

2009. The FHFA received no public 

comments. 

Written comments are requested on: 

(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 the 

FHFA 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. Comments may be 

submitted to OMB in writing at the 

address listed above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Need for and Use of the Information 

Collection 

The FHFA has authorized the Federal 

Home Loan Banks (Banks) to acquire 

mortgage loans and other assets from 

their members or housing associates 

under certain circumstances. 12 CFR 

part 955. The regulation refers to these 

assets as acquired member assets or 

AMA. As part of this regulatory 

authorization, each Bank that acquires 

residential mortgage loans must provide 

to the FHFA certain loan-level data on 

a quarterly basis. The reporting 

requirements, which previously were in 

12 CFR part 955 (specifically, section 

955.4 and Appendices A and B), 

currently are contained in the FHFA 

Data Reporting Manual. The FHFA uses 

this data to monitor the safety and 

soundness of the Banks and the extent 

to which the Banks are fulfilling their 

statutory housing finance mission 

through their AMA programs. See 12 

U.S.C. 1422a(a). 

While the Banks provide the AMA 

data directly to the FHFA, each Bank 

initially must collect the information 

from the private-sector member or 

housing associate from which the Bank 

acquires the mortgage loan. Bank 

members and housing associates already 

collect the vast majority of the data the 

FHFA requires in order to do business 

with the Federal National Mortgage 

Association (Fannie Mae) and the 

Federal Home Loan Mortgage 

Corporation (Freddie Mac) under 

regulatory requirements issued by the 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 101 / Thursday, May 28, 2009 / Notices 25539 

Development (HUD) and pursuant to the 

information collection requirements 

under the Home Mortgage Disclosure 

Act (HMDA). Thus, the FHFA’s 

information collection imposes only a 

minor incremental additional burden on 

Bank members and housing associates. 

The OMB control number for the 

information collection, which expires 

on August 31, 2009, is 2590–0008. The 

likely respondents are institutions that 

sell AMA assets to Banks. 

B. Burden Estimate 

The FHFA estimates that the hour 

burden associated with the AMA 

collection is little changed. More 

institutions are participating in the 

AMA program, but the average report 

size has gone down dramatically. The 

FHFA estimates the total annual average 

number of respondents at 750, with 4 

responses per respondent. The estimate 

for the average hours per response is 12 

hours. The estimate for the total annual 

hour burden is 36,000 hours (750 

respondents × 4 responses per 

respondent × 12 hours). 

Bank members could incur additional 

one-time costs to be able to collect and 

report additional loan-level data 

elements. The FHFA estimates this 

additional, one-time cost at $150,000 

($2,000 × 750 members). 

C. Comment Request 

The 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 the FHFA 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, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology.
