SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Need for and Use of the Information
Collection
Section 7 of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Act (Bank Act) vests the
management of each Federal Home Loan
Bank (Bank) in its board of directors.1
As required by section 7, each Bank’s
board comprises two types of directors:
(1) member directors, who are drawn
from the officers and directors of
member institutions located in the
Bank’s district and who are elected to
represent members in a particular state
in that district; and (2) independent
directors, who are unaffiliated with any
of the Bank’s member institutions, but
who reside in the Bank’s district and are
elected on an at-large basis.2 Both types
of directors serve four-year terms, which
are staggered so that approximately onequarter of a Bank’s total directorships
are up for election every year.3 Section
7 and FHFA’s implementing regulation,
codified at 12 CFR part 1261, establish
the eligibility requirements for both
types of Bank directors and the
professional qualifications for
independent directors, and set forth the
procedures for their election.
Part 1261 of the regulations requires
that each Bank administer its own
annual director election process. As part
of this process, a Bank must require
each nominee for both types of
directorship, including any incumbent
that may be a candidate for re-election,
to complete and return to the Bank a
form that solicits information about the
candidate’s statutory eligibility to serve
and, in the case of independent director
candidates, about his or her professional
qualifications for the directorship being
sought.4 Specifically, member director
candidates are required to complete the
Federal Home Loan Bank Member
Director Eligibility Certification Form
(Member Director Eligibility
Certification Form), while independent
director candidates must complete the
Federal Home Loan Bank Independent
Director Application Form (Independent
Director Application Form). Each Bank
must also require all of its incumbent
directors to certify annually that they
continue to meet all eligibility
requirements.5 Member directors do this

12 U.S.C. 1427(b) and (d).
3 See 12 U.S.C. 1427(d).
by completing the Member Director
Eligibility Certification Form again every
year, while independent directors
complete the abbreviated Federal Home
Loan Bank Independent Director
Annual Certification Form (Independent
Director Annual Certification Form) to
certify their ongoing eligibility.
The Banks use the information
collection contained in the Independent
Director Application Form and part
1261 to determine whether individuals
who wish to stand for election or reelection as independent directors satisfy
the statutory eligibility requirements
and possess the professional
qualifications required under the statute
and regulations. Only individuals
meeting those requirements and
qualifications may serve as an
independent director.6 On an annual
basis, the Banks use the information
collection contained in the Independent
Director Annual Certification Form and
part 1261 to determine whether its
incumbent independent directors
continue to meet the statutory eligibility
requirements. The Banks use the
information collection contained in the
Member Director Eligibility Certification
Form and part 1261 to determine
whether individuals who wish to stand
for election or re-election as member
directors satisfy the statutory eligibility
requirements. Only individuals meeting
these requirements may serve as a
member director.7 On an annual basis,
the Banks also use the information
collection contained in the Member
Director Eligibility Certification Form
and part 1261 to determine whether its
incumbent member directors continue
to meet the statutory eligibility
requirements.
The OMB control number for this
information collection is 2590–0006.
The current clearance for the
information collection will expire on
July 31, 2024. The likely respondents
are individuals who are prospective and
incumbent Bank directors.
B. Burden Estimate
FHFA estimates the total annual hour
burden imposed upon respondents by
the three Bank director forms
comprising this information collection
to be 269 hours (39 hours + 200 hours
+ 30 hours = 269 hours, as detailed
below).

directors associated with review and
completion of the Member Director
Eligibility Certification Form to be 39
hours. This includes a total annual
average of 72 member director nominees
(24 open seats per year with three
nominees for each) completing the form
as an application, with 1 response per
nominee taking an average of 15
minutes (.25 hours) (72 respondents ×
.25 hours = 18 hours). It also includes
a total annual average of 84 incumbent
member directors not up for election
completing the form as an annual
certification, with 1 response per
individual taking an average of 15
minutes (.25 hours) (84 individuals ×
.25 hours = 21 hours).
The Agency estimates the total annual
hour burden on all independent director
candidates associated with review and
completion of the Independent Director
Application Form to be 200 hours. This
includes a total annual average of 100
applications for independent director
positions with 1 response per individual
taking an average of 2.0 hours (100
applications × 2.0 hours = 200 hours).
The Agency estimates the total annual
hour burden on all incumbent
independent directors associated with
review and completion of the
Independent Director Annual
Certification Form to be 30 hours. This
includes a total annual average of 60
incumbent independent directors not up
for election, with 1 response per
individual taking an average of 30
minutes (.5 hours) (60 individuals × .5
hours = 30 hours).
C. Comments Request
FHFA requests written comments on
the following: (1) Whether the collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of FHFA functions,
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Need for and Use of the Information Collection
Section 7 of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (Bank Act) vests the
management of each Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank) in its board of
directors.\1\ As required by section 7, each Bank's board comprises two
types of directors: (1) member directors, who are drawn from the
officers and directors of member institutions located in the Bank's
district and who are elected to represent members in a particular state
in that district; and (2) independent directors, who are unaffiliated
with any of the Bank's member institutions, but who reside in the
Bank's district and are elected on an at-large basis.\2\ Both types of
directors serve four-year terms, which are staggered so that
approximately one-quarter of a Bank's total directorships are up for
election every year.\3\ Section 7 and FHFA's implementing regulation,
codified at 12 CFR part 1261, establish the eligibility requirements
for both types of Bank directors and the professional qualifications
for independent directors, and set forth the procedures for their
election.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See 12 U.S.C. 1427(a)(1).
\2\ See 12 U.S.C. 1427(b) and (d).
\3\ See 12 U.S.C. 1427(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 1261 of the regulations requires that each Bank administer its
own annual director election process. As part of this process, a Bank
must require each nominee for both types of directorship, including any
incumbent that may be a candidate for re-election, to complete and
return to the Bank a form that solicits information about the
candidate's statutory eligibility to serve and, in the case of
independent director candidates, about his or her professional
qualifications for the directorship being sought.\4\ Specifically,
member director candidates are required to complete the Federal Home
Loan Bank Member Director Eligibility Certification Form (Member
Director Eligibility Certification Form), while independent director
candidates must complete the Federal Home Loan Bank Independent
Director Application Form (Independent Director Application Form). Each
Bank must also require all of its incumbent directors to certify
annually that they continue to meet all eligibility requirements.\5\
Member directors do this by completing the Member Director Eligibility
Certification Form again every year, while independent directors
complete the abbreviated Federal Home Loan Bank Independent Director
Annual Certification Form (Independent Director Annual Certification
Form) to certify their ongoing eligibility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 12 CFR 1261.7(c) and (f); 12 CFR 1261.14(b).
\5\ See 12 CFR 1261.12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Banks use the information collection contained in the
Independent Director Application Form and part 1261 to determine
whether individuals who wish to stand for election or re-election as
independent directors satisfy the statutory eligibility requirements
and possess the professional qualifications required under the statute
and regulations. Only individuals meeting those requirements and
qualifications may serve as an independent director.\6\ On an annual
basis, the Banks use the information collection contained in the
Independent Director Annual Certification Form and part 1261 to
determine whether its incumbent independent directors continue to meet
the statutory eligibility requirements. The Banks use the information
collection contained in the Member Director Eligibility Certification
Form and part 1261 to determine whether individuals who wish to stand
for election or re-election as member directors satisfy the statutory
eligibility requirements. Only individuals meeting these requirements
may serve as a member director.\7\ On an annual basis, the Banks also
use the information collection contained in the Member Director
Eligibility Certification Form and part 1261 to determine whether its
incumbent member directors continue to meet the statutory eligibility
requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 12 U.S.C. 1427(a)(3).
\7\ See 12 U.S.C. 1427(a)(3) and (b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The OMB control number for this information collection is 2590-
0006. The current clearance for the information collection will expire
on July 31, 2024. The likely respondents are individuals who are
prospective and incumbent Bank directors.
B. Burden Estimate
FHFA estimates the total annual hour burden imposed upon
respondents by the three Bank director forms comprising this
information collection to be 269 hours (39 hours + 200 hours + 30 hours
= 269 hours, as detailed below).
The Agency estimates the total annual hour burden on all member
director candidates and incumbent member directors associated with
review and completion of the Member Director Eligibility Certification
Form to be 39 hours. This includes a total annual average of 72 member
director nominees (24 open seats per year with three nominees for each)
completing the form as an application, with 1 response per nominee
taking an average of 15 minutes (.25 hours) (72 respondents x .25 hours
= 18 hours). It also includes a total annual average of 84 incumbent
member directors not up for election completing the form as an annual
certification, with 1 response per individual taking an average of 15
minutes (.25 hours) (84 individuals x .25 hours = 21 hours).
The Agency estimates the total annual hour burden on all
independent director candidates associated with review and completion
of the Independent Director Application Form to be 200 hours. This
includes a total annual average of 100 applications for independent
director positions with 1 response per individual taking an average of
2.0 hours (100 applications x 2.0 hours = 200 hours).
The Agency estimates the total annual hour burden on all incumbent
independent directors associated with review and completion of the
Independent Director Annual Certification Form to be 30 hours. This
includes a total annual average of 60 incumbent independent directors
not up for election, with 1 response per individual taking an average
of 30 minutes (.5 hours) (60 individuals x .5 hours = 30 hours).
C. Comments Request
FHFA requests written comments on the following: (1) Whether the
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
FHFA functions, 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.
