We will post all public comments we receive on this notice without change, including any personal information you provide, such as your name and address, on the Finance Board Web site at https://www.fhfb.gov/pressroom/ pressroom_regs.htm. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Roderer, Office of Supervision, by telephone at 202–408–2540, by electronic mail at rodererd@fhfb.gov, or by regular mail at the Federal Housing Finance Board, 1625 Eye Street NW., Washington DC 20006. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: [No. 2005–N–08] A. Need for and Use of the Information Collection Proposed Collection; Comment Request The Finance Board has authorized the Federal Home Loan Banks (Banks) to acquire mortgage loans and other assets from their members or housing associates under certain circumstances. 12 CFR part 955. The regulation refers to these assets as acquired member assets or AMA. As part of this regulatory authorization, each Bank that acquires residential mortgage loans must provide to the Finance Board certain loan-level data on a quarterly basis. The Finance Board uses this data to monitor the safety and soundness of the Banks and the extent to which the Banks are fulfilling their statutory housing finance mission through their AMA programs. See 12 U.S.C. 1422a(a). While the Banks provide the AMA data directly to the Finance Board, each Bank initially must collect the information from the private-sector member or housing associate from which the Bank acquires the mortgage loan. Bank members and housing associates already collect the vast majority of the data the Finance Board requires in order to do business with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under regulatory requirements issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and pursuant to the information collection requirements under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). Thus, the Finance Board’s information collection imposes only a minor incremental additional burden on Bank members and housing associates. The OMB control number for the information collection, which expires on March 31, 2007, is 3069–0058. The likely respondents are institutions that sell AMA assets to Banks. AGENCY: Federal Housing Finance Board. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) is seeking public comments concerning proposed changes to the information collection entitled ‘‘Federal Home Loan Bank Acquired Member Assets, Core Mission Activities, Investments and Advances,’’ which has been assigned control 3069–0058 by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The Finance Board intends to submit the entire information collection, with the proposed changes described in this Notice, to OMB for review and approval of a 3 year extension of the control number, which is due to expire on March 31, 2007. DATES: Interested persons may submit comments on or before January 3, 2006. Comments: Submit comments by any of the following methods: E-mail: comments@fhfb.gov. Fax: 202–408–2580. Mail/Hand Delivery: Federal Housing Finance Board, 1625 Eye Street NW., Washington DC 20006, ATTENTION: Public Comments. Federal eRulemaking Portal: https:// www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments. If you submit your comment to the Federal eRulemaking Portal, please also send it by e-mail to the Finance Board at comments@fhfb.gov to ensure timely receipt by the agency. Include the following information in the subject line of your submission: Federal Housing Finance Board. Proposed Collection; Comment Request: Federal Home Loan Bank Acquired VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:22 Nov 01, 2005 Jkt 208001 B. Proposed Changes to the Information Collection As part of the reorganization of agency reporting requirements, the PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 66413 Finance Board plans to move the AMA information collection from 12 CFR part 955 (specifically, section 955.4 and Appendices A and B) to the Data Reporting Manual (DRM). See 70 FR 9551 (February 28, 2005). In addition to moving the information collection from the AMA rule to the DRM, the Finance Board is proposing to make the following changes to the AMA reporting requirements: 1. Conforming AMA Reporting Requirements to Existing Practice In consultation with the Banks, the Finance Board already has made nonsubstantive changes to the AMA reporting requirements including refining the definitions of certain reporting elements 1 and adding new elements to improve database management and enhance monitoring.2 The Finance Board also requires the Banks to report certain variables for all outstanding AMA residential mortgage loans, not just for those loans acquired during the calendar year, to better track performance, including delinquencies, of each loan. 2. Eliminating Data Elements Based on analysis of the AMA data collected to date, the Finance Board is proposing to eliminate sparsely populated data fields and data fields the utility of which are unwarranted when balanced against the collection and reporting burden. These fields include the geographic indicator ‘‘Place Code’’ and the mortgage identifiers ‘‘Cooperative Unit Mortgage,’’ ‘‘Mortgage Purchased under the Banks’’ Community Investment Cash Advances (CICA) Programs’’ (for single-family AMA), and ‘‘Bank Real Estate Owned.’’ The Finance Board also proposes deleting the data field ‘‘Acquisition Type’’ due to the addition of the ‘‘Program Type’’ data element. 1 The definition of: ‘‘County’’ was changed from the county name to the 3-digit Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) code for the county; ‘‘PMI Percent’’ was changed from percent of private mortgage insurance to percent of primary mortgage insurance, including mortgages insured by government agencies; ‘‘Credit Enhancement’’ was changed from the numeric code indicating the type of credit enhancement to the dollar value of the calculated loan-level credit enhancement; ‘‘Prepayment Penalty Terms’’ was changed to ‘‘Prepayment Penalty Date’’ and defined as the date that the application of the prepayment penalty ends; ‘‘Default Status’’ was changed to ‘‘Delinquency Status’’ and represents the delinquency status of the loan at the end of the reporting period; and ‘‘Interest Rate’’ was defined as the note rate on the loan at the time of loan origination. 2 ‘‘Pool Rating’’ for the letter credit rating of the loan pool was added to the loan-level data reporting requirement. New variables added for database management purposes ere: ‘‘Program Type’’ and ‘‘Pool Number.’’ E:\FR\FM\02NON1.SGM 02NON1
