SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Need For and Use of the Information Collection

The Federal Home Loan Bank System (System) consists of eleven regional Federal Home Loan Banks (Banks) and the Office of Finance, a joint office of the Banks that issues and services their debt securities. The Banks are wholesale financial institutions, organized under authority of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (Bank Act) to serve the public interest by enhancing the availability of residential housing finance and community lending credit through their member institutions and, to a limited extent, through eligible non-member “housing associates.” Each Bank is structured as a regional cooperative that is owned and controlled by member financial institutions located within its district, which are also its primary customers.

Section 10(g)(1) of the Bank Act requires the Director of FHFA to promulgate regulations establishing standards of community investment or service that Bank member institutions must meet in order to maintain access to long-term Bank advances. [1 2 ] Section 10(g)(2) of the Bank Act requires that, in establishing these community support requirements for Bank members, FHFA take into account factors such as the member's performance under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA) [3 ] and record of lending to first-time homebuyers. [4 ] FHFA's community support regulation, which establishes standards and review criteria for determining compliance with section 10(g) of the Bank Act, is set forth at 12 CFR part 1290.

Part 1290 requires that each Bank member subject to community support review submit to FHFA biennially a completed Community Support Statement (Form 060), which contains several short questions, the answers to which are used by FHFA to assess the responding member's compliance with the statutory and regulatory community support standards. [5 ] Members are strongly encouraged to complete and submit Form 060 online, but may submit a version via email or fax if they cannot complete the submission online. In Part I of Form 060, a member that is subject to the CRA must record its most recent CRA rating and the year of that rating. Part II of Form 060 addresses a member's efforts to assist first-time homebuyers. A member may either record the number and dollar amount of mortgage loans made to first-time homebuyers in the previous or current calendar year (Part II.A), or indicate the types of programs or activities it has undertaken to assist first-time homebuyers by checking selections from a list (Part II.B), or do both. If a member has received a CRA rating of “Outstanding,” it need not complete Part II.

Part 1290 also establishes the circumstances under which FHFA will restrict a member's access to long-term Bank advances and to the Bank Affordable Housing Programs (AHP), Community Investment Programs (CIP), and Community Investment Cash Advance (CICA) programs for failure to meet the community support requirements. [6 ] Part 1290 permits Bank members whose access to long-term advances has been restricted to apply directly to FHFA to remove the restriction. [7 ]

FHFA uses the information collection contained in FHFA Form 060 to determine whether Bank members satisfy the statutory and regulatory community support requirements, and to ensure that, as required by statute and regulation, only Bank members that meet those requirements maintain continued access to long-term Bank advances and to the Bank AHP, CIP, and CICA programs.

The OMB control number for this information collection is 2590-0005, which is due to expire on Aril 30, 2026. The respondents are Bank member institutions.

B. Burden Estimate

FHFA has analyzed the two facets of this information collection to estimate the hour burdens that the collection will impose upon Bank members annually over the next three years. Based on that analysis, FHFA estimates that the total annual hour burden will be 1,856 hours. The method FHFA used to determine the annual hour burden for each facet of the information collection is explained in detail below.

1. Community Support Statements

FHFA estimates an annual average of 3,090 respondents. FHFA estimates that the average preparation and submission time for each Community Support Statement is 0.6 hours. The estimate for the total annual hour burden on Bank members in connection with the preparation and submission of Community Support Statements is, therefore, 1,854 hours (3,090 Statements × 0.6 hours).

2. Requests To Remove a Restriction on Access to Long-Term Advances

FHFA estimates that an annual average of 2 Bank members whose access to long-term advances and to AHP, CIP, and CICA programs has been restricted will prepare and submit requests to FHFA to remove those restrictions, and that the average preparation time for each request will be 1 hour. The estimate for the total annual hour burden on Bank members in connection with the preparation and submission of requests to remove a restriction on access to long-term advances is, therefore, 2 hours (2 requests × 1 hours). ( printed page 8879)

C. Comment Request

In accordance with the requirements of 5 CFR 1320.8(d), FHFA published an initial notice and request for public comments regarding this information collection in the Federal Register on November 18, 2025. [8 ] FHFA received one comment letter. The commenter supported this information collection because it extends current processes, which the commenter stated are simple and easy to follow.

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 FHFA's 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 respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
