SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Community Support Review
Section 10(g)(1) of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Act (Bank Act) requires
FHFA to promulgate regulations
establishing standards of community
investment or service that Bank
members must meet in order to
maintain access to long-term Bank
advances. See 12 U.S.C. 1430(g)(1). The
regulations promulgated by FHFA must
take into account factors such as the
Bank member’s performance under the
Community Reinvestment Act of 1977
(CRA), 12 U.S.C. 2901 et seq., and the
Bank member’s record of lending to
first-time homebuyers. See 12 U.S.C.
1430(g)(2). Pursuant to section 10(g) of
the Bank Act, FHFA has promulgated a
community support requirements
regulation that establishes standards a
Bank member must meet in order to
maintain access to long-term advances,
and establishes review criteria FHFA
must apply in evaluating a member’s
community support performance. See
12 CFR part 1290. The regulation
includes standards and criteria for the
two statutory factors—members’ CRA
performance and members’ record of
lending to first-time homebuyers. 12
CFR 1290.3. Only members subject to
the CRA must meet the CRA standard.
12 CFR 1290.3(b). All members subject
to community support review, including
those not subject to the CRA, must meet
the first-time homebuyer standard. 12
CFR 1290.3(c). Members that have been
certified as community development
financial institutions (CDFIs) are
deemed to be in compliance with the
community support requirements and
are not subject to periodic community

support review, unless the CDFI
member is also an insured depository
institution or a CDFI credit union. 12
CFR 1290.2(d). In addition, FHFA will
not review an institution’s community
support performance until it has been a
Bank member for at least one year. 12
CFR 1290.2(e).
Under the regulation, FHFA reviews
each applicable member once every two
years. Starting April 1, 2017, each
member that is subject to community
support review will be required to use
an online form to submit to FHFA a
completed Community Support
Statement, executed by an appropriate
senior officer of the member. All
Community Support Statements for this
review cycle must be submitted using
the online form by December 31, 2017.
FHFA will review the community
support performance of each member
after receiving the member’s completed
Community Support Statement.
II. Public Comments
FHFA encourages the public to
submit comments by March 31, 2017, on
the community support performance of
Bank members. Each Bank is required to
post a notice on its public Web site and
to notify its Advisory Council, nonprofit
housing developers, community groups,
and other interested parties in its
district of the opportunity to submit
comments on the community support
programs and activities of Bank
members, with the name and address of
each member subject to community
support review. 12 CFR 1290.2(c)(1). In
reviewing a member for community
support compliance, FHFA will
consider any public comments it has
received concerning the member. 12
CFR 1290.2(c)(3). To ensure
consideration by FHFA, comments
concerning the community support
performance of members being reviewed
in 2017 must be submitted to FHFA,
either by electronic mail to
hmgcommunitysupportprogram@
fhfa.gov, or by fax to 202–649–4308, on
or before March 31, 2017. 12 CFR
1290.2(c)(2).
