The Office of Housing and Community Investment (OHCI) of the Federal Housing Finance Agency is using surveys and open-forum discussions to conduct research and outreach initiatives to determine ways to enhance the Federal Home Loan BanksÂcapacity to meet the nationÂs 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.
OHCI is conducting research and outreach initiatives in two phases. The first phase consisted of two on-line surveys and open-forum discussion sessions held in August and September 2010 at Federal Home Loan Banks in Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, and Des Moines.
This request for an emergency ICR approval is for the second phase of the research and outreach initiatives. OHCI will host a two-day Economic Development Conference on October 25-26, 2010 in Washington, D.C. This event will be attended by OHCI staff, FHLBank staff and approximately 100 community and economic development practitioners and experts from all segments of the community development field. Practitioners and experts will discuss current and future national economic development issues, financing challenges, opportunities in the field and best practices.
One of the surveys, the Economic and Community Development Trade Associations Survey (formerly Economic and Community Development Trade Groups), that was part of the collection of information that was approved on August 19, 2010 has been substantively revised for its use in October. Therefore, FHFA is requesting emergency review of these revisions, in addition to the general use of the other three surveys in October. This revision did not result in a change in burden.
This request meets the criteria of 5 CFR § 1320.13 in that the collection of information is needed prior to the expiration of time periods established under 5 CFR 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 October 13, 2010.
US Code:
12 USC 4501 et seq.
Name of Law: Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act
