The information collection is
necessary to enable the Federal Home Loan Banks (Banks) and, where
appropriate, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to determine
if a respondent satisfies the statutory and regulatory requirements
to be certified initially and maintain its status as a member
eligible to obtain Bank advances. Respondents include financial
institutions that are or are eligible to become Bank
members.
US Code:

USC 1424 Name of Law: Federal Home Loan Bank Act, as
amended
FHFA has decreased the
estimated total annual burden hours to 2,188 from the 2,351 that
were shown in the Supporting Statement submitted in connection with
the 2017 renewal of this information collection, due primarily to
somewhat lower projections for the average number of membership
applications to be received by the Banks over the next three
years.
