Abstract: The Office of Housing and Community Investment (OHCI) of the Federal Housing Finance Agency is using surveys and open-forum discussions to conduct extensive research and outreach initiatives to determine ways to enhance the Federal Home Loan Banks’capacity to meet the nation’s unmet economic development credit needs. At the conclusion of these processes, OHCI expects to amend the Community Investment Cash Advance (CICA) Regulation (12 CFR Part 952) in late 2011.

Emergency Justfication: FHFA has determined that this request meets the criteria of 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13 in that the collection of information is needed prior to the expiration of time periods established under 5 C.F.R. Part 1320, it is essential to the mission of FHFA, and FHFA cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because the use of normal clearance procedures, which take at least 90 days, will prevent the collection of information, which is expected to begin August 20, 2010.
