amount of capital stock a member must
purchase to maintain membership in
and to obtain services from a Bank.
More specifically, sections 931.3 and
933.2(a) of the Finance Board rules
authorize a Bank to offer its members
several options to satisfy required
investments in capital stock as activitybased and/or membership stock
purchase requirements. 12 CFR 931.3
and 933.2(a). The information collection
is necessary to provide the Banks with
the flexibility to meet the statutory and
regulatory capital structure
requirements while allowing Bank
members to choose the option best
suited to their business requirements.
The OMB control number for the
information collection is 3069–0059,
and it is due to expire on February 28,
2007. The likely respondents include
Banks and Bank members.

B. Burden Estimate
17:19 Jan 25, 2007
Dated: January 23, 2007.
By the Federal Housing Finance Board.
Neil R. Crowley,
Deputy General Counsel.
[FR Doc. E7–1267 Filed 1–25–07; 8:45 am]
BILLING CODE 6725–01–P
While the number of member
respondents has increased, the burden
has decreased significantly because the
Banks can access most of the data
required by the information collection
electronically from call reports the
members already must file with their
primary regulator. The estimate for the
total annual hour burden for all member
respondents is 35,100 hours. The
estimate for the total annual cost burden
is $1,509,300. These estimates are based
on the following calculations:
The Finance Board estimates the total
annual average number of member
respondents for activity-based stock
purchase requirements at 5,500, with 4
responses per member. The estimate for
the average hours per response is 0.65
hours. The estimate for member
respondents’ annual hour burden
related to activity-based stock purchase
requirements is 14,300 hours (5,500
activity-based member respondents x 4
responses per member x 0.65 hours per
response). The estimate for the annual
cost burden is $614,900 (14,300 hours x
$43 hourly rate).
The Finance Board estimates the total
annual average number of member
respondents for membership stock
purchase requirements at 8,000, with 4
responses per member. The estimate for
the average hours per response is 0.65
hours. The estimate for member
respondents’ annual hour burden
related to membership stock purchase
requirements is 20,800 hours (8,000
membership investment member
respondents x 4 responses per member
x 0.65 hours per response). The estimate
for the annual cost burden is $894,400
(20,800 hours x $43 hourly rate).

comments on the following: (1) Whether
the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
Finance Board functions, including
whether the information has practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the Finance
Board’s estimates of the burdens of the
collection of information; (3) ways to

Title of Information Collection: SF–

Form/OMB No.: 4040–0005.
Use: The discretionary SF–424 was
established as the government-wide
standard data set and form for
Discretionary grant applications on July
31, 2003 [Federal Register Notice 68 FR
44974]. The SF–424 consolidates grant
application related data and forms
currently used by Federal grant-making
agencies and organizations for their
discretionary grant programs and
replaces numerous agency-specific
forms. The effect has been to reduce the
administrative burden to the Federal
grants community, which includes
applicants/grantees and Federal staff
involved in grants-related activities. Use
of the standard data elements was
implemented through the electronic
grants application process of Grants.gov,
