Use of Community Development Loans by Community Financial Institutions To Secure Advances; Secured Lending by Federal Home Loan Banks to Members and Their Affiliates; Transfer of Advances and New Business Activity Regulations
Section 1211 of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) amended the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (Bank Act) to expand the types of eligible collateral that community financial institution (CFI) members may pledge to secure Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank) advances to include secured loans for community development activities and to allow Banks to make long-term advances to CFI members for purposes of financing community development activities. Section 1211 further provides that the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) shall define the term ``community development activities'' by regulation. Consequently, FHFA is proposing to amend the advances regulations to allow CFI members to pledge secured loans for community development activities as eligible collateral for advances, to provide that CFI members may use long term advances to fund community development activities and to define ``community development,'' ``community development loan,'' and other related terms necessary to implement these provisions. The proposal would also transfer the advances and new business activities regulations from the Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB) regulations to the FHFA regulations, and make other conforming amendments. Finally, the proposed rule would also make a change to the advances regulation which would incorporate a long-standing policy previously established by the FHFB that any form of secured lending by a Bank to a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System (Bank System) is deemed to be an advance. The proposed rule would extend that policy to cover secured lending transactions by a Bank to affiliates of members.

Privacy Act of 1974; Department of Homeland Security/ALL-023 Personnel Security Management System of Records
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security proposes to update and reissue Department of Homeland Security/ALL023 Personnel Security Management System of Records to include record systems within the Federal Protective Service and records of federal, state, local and foreign law enforcement personnel who apply for and/or are granted authority to enforce federal laws on behalf of the Department. Categories of individuals, categories of records, purpose, and routine uses of this system have been reviewed and updated to reflect the personnel security management record systems of the Department, including the Federal Protective Service. The activities performed by the Department's personnel security program often overlap with other security-related activities such as access control and investigatory records.
