Abstract: The information collection concerns administration of the Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank) director election process. It is necessary to enable the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the Banks to determine whether prospective and incumbent Bank directors satisfy statutory and regulatory eligibility and reporting requirements and to run the director election process. FHFA received one public comment during the 60-day comment period. The comment questioned whether the instructions to questions 4-6 on the Member Director Eligibility Certification Form were phrased so as to accurately reflect one of the statutory requirements pertaining to the eligibility of an individual to serve as a member director of a Bank. In response to this comment, FHFA has revised question 6 of that form and its related instruction so that they more accurately state the statutory standard. These revisions have not resulted in any changes to the cost and burden estimates. The agency determined that the instructions to questions 4-5 do not need to be revised. FHFA received no comments addressing the cost and hour burden estimates.
