SUMMARY: Pursuant to the requirements of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (Bank Act), as amended by section 1206 of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA), the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) proposes to amend its membership regulations to authorize non-federally insured, CDFI Fund-certified community development financial institutions (CDFIs) to become members of a Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank). The newly eligible CDFIs include community development loan funds, venture capital funds and statechartered credit unions without federal insurance. This notice of proposed rulemaking sets out the eligibility and procedural requirements for CDFIs that wish to become members of a Bank.

DATES: FHFA will accept written comments on this proposed rule on or before July 14, 2009.
