SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Need For and Use of the Information
Collection
Section 6 of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Act establishes the capital
structure for the Federal Home Loan
Banks (Banks) and requires the Finance
Board to issue regulations prescribing
uniform capital standards applicable to
each Bank. 12 U.S.C. 1426. To
implement the statutory capital
structure for the Banks, the Finance
Board added parts 930, 931, 932, and
933 to its regulations. 12 CFR parts 930,
PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703
931, 932, and 933. Part 930 establishes
definitions applicable to risk
Mr. management and the capital regulations;
part 931 concerns Bank capital stock;
part 932 establishes Bank capital
requirements; and part 933 sets forth the
requirements for Bank capital structure
plans. The implementing regulations
also include conforming changes to
parts 917, 925, and 956, which concern,
respectively, the powers and
responsibilities of Bank boards of
directors and senior management, Bank
members, and Bank investments. 12
CFR parts 917, 925, and 956.
The Banks use the information
collection contained in the rules
implementing section 6 to determine the
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 activity-
based 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 May 31, 2007.
The likely respondents include Bank
members.
B. Burden Estimate
While the number of member
respondents and the volume of
information have increased, the overall
burden has decreased significantly
because the Banks can access almost all
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
8,953 hours. The estimate for the total
annual cost burden is $367,073. These
estimates are based on the following
calculations:
The Banks determine members’
activity-based stock purchase
requirements on a daily basis. Based on
input from the Banks, we estimated the
cost and hour burden of the activity-
based stock purchase requirement
information collection using a daily
average of 564 member respondents
submitting 1 report for each of the 260
business days during the year. The
estimate for the average hours per
response is .05 hours. The estimate for
