Abstract: The information collection is necessary to enable the Federal Home Loan Banks (Banks) and, where appropriate, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to determine whether a Bank member/respondent satisfies the statutory and regulatory requirements for capital stock purchase requirements to be a member of and to borrow from a Bank. Respondents include financial institutions that are eligible for Bank membership, and members that utilize Bank products and services, such as Bank advances.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: FHFA has decreased the estimated total annual burden hours to 15,230 from the 34,574 that were shown in the Supporting Statement submitted in connection with the 2013 renewal of this information collection. This decrease is due primarily to the fact that, while the prior Supporting Statement assumed that each Bank member would submit four quarterly reports per year to enable the Bank to calculate the member’s membership stock purchase requirement, consultation with Banks’ staff revealed that most Bank members are required to submit such reports only on an annual basis—that is, one per year. The estimates for IC (I) were therefore adjusted accordingly.
