Download as PDF 9472 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 33 / Wednesday, February 19, 2020 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Section 6 of the Bank Act establishes capital requirements for the Banks and requires FHFA to issue regulations prescribing uniform capital standards applicable to all of the Banks.1 Section 6 also establishes parameters relating to the Banks’ capital structures and requires that each Bank adopt a ‘‘capital structure plan’’ (capital plan) to establish, within those statutory parameters, its own capital structure and to establish requirements for, and govern transactions in, the Bank’s capital stock.2 FHFA’s regulations on Bank Capital Requirements, Capital Stock, and Capital Plans are located at 12 CFR part 1277. B. Need For and Use of the Information Collection Both the Bank Act and FHFA’s regulations state that a Bank’s capital plan must require its members to maintain a minimum investment in the Bank’s capital stock, but both permit each Bank to determine for itself what that minimum investment is and how each member’s required minimum investment is to be calculated.3 Although each Bank’s capital plan establishes a slightly different method for calculating the required minimum stock investment for its members, each Bank’s method is tied to some degree to both the level of assets held by the member institution (typically referred to as a ‘‘membership stock purchase requirement’’) and the amount of advances or other business engaged in between the member and the Bank (typically referred to as an ‘‘activitybased stock purchase requirement’’). A Bank must collect information from its members to determine the minimum capital stock investment each member is required to maintain at any point in time. Although the information needed to calculate a member’s required minimum investment and the precise method through which it is collected differ somewhat from Bank to Bank, the Banks typically collect two types of information. First, in order to calculate and monitor compliance with its membership stock purchase requirement, a Bank typically requires each member to provide and/or confirm an annual report on the amount and types of assets held by that institution. Second, each time a Bank engages in a business transaction with a member, the Bank typically confirms with the member the amount of additional Bank capital stock, if any, the member must 1 See 12 U.S.C. 1426(a). 12 U.S.C. 1426(b), (c). 3 See 12 U.S.C. 1426(c)(1); 12 CFR 1277.22, 1277.28(a). 2 See VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:51 Feb 18, 2020 Jkt 250001 acquire in order to satisfy the Bank’s activity-based stock purchase requirement and the method through which the member will acquire that stock.

The likely respondents include current and former Bank members and institutions applying for Bank membership. including whether the information has practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FHFA’s estimates of the burdens of the collection of information; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. C. Burden Estimate FHFA has analyzed the time burden imposed on respondents by the two collections under this control number and estimates that the average total annual hour burden imposed on all respondents over the next three years will be 15,045 hours. The estimate for each collection was calculated as follows: Dated: February 11, 2020. Kevin Winkler, Chief Information Officer, Federal Housing Finance Agency. 1. Membership Stock Purchase Requirement Submissions FHFA estimates that the average annual number of current and former members and applicants for membership required to report information needed to calculate a membership stock purchase requirement will be 6,950, and that each institution will submit one report per year, resulting in an estimated total of 6,950 submissions annually. The estimate for the average time required to prepare, review, and submit each report is 0.5 hours. Accordingly, the estimate for the annual hour burden associated with membership stock purchase requirement submissions is (6,950 reports × 0.5 hours per report) = 3,475 hours. 2. Activity-Based Stock Purchase Requirement Submissions FHFA estimates that the average number of daily transactions between Banks and members that will require the exchange of information to confirm the member’s activity-based stock purchase requirement will be 341, and that there will be an average of 261 working days per year, resulting in an estimated 89,001 submissions annually. The estimate for the average preparation time per submission is 0.13 hours. Accordingly, the estimate for the annual hour burden associated with activitybased stock purchase requirement submissions is (89,001 submissions × 0.13 hours per submission) = 11,570 hours. D.
