or by regular mail at the Federal

Section 10(g)(1) of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Act (Bank Act) requires the
Finance Board to promulgate
regulations establishing standards of
community investment or service Bank
members must meet in order to
maintain access to long-term advances.
See 12 U.S.C. 1430(g)(1). The
regulations promulgated by the Finance
Board 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 record of lending to first-time
homebuyers. See 12 U.S.C. 1430(g)(2).
Pursuant to section 10(g) of the Bank
Act, the Finance Board 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 review criteria the Finance Board
must apply in evaluating a member’s
community support performance. See
12 CFR part 944. The regulation
includes standards and criteria for the
two statutory factors—CRA performance
and record of lending to first-time
homebuyers. 12 CFR 944.3. Only
members subject to the CRA must meet
the CRA standard. 12 CFR 944.3(b). All
members, including those not subject to
CRA, must meet the first-time
homebuyer standard. 12 CFR 944.3(c).
Under the rule, the Finance Board
selects approximately one-eighth of the
members in each Bank district for
community support review each
calendar quarter. 12 CFR 944.2(a). The
Finance Board will not review an
institution’s community support
performance until it has been a Bank
member for at least one year. Selection
for review is not, nor should it be
construed as, any indication of either
the financial condition or the
community support performance of the
member.
Each Bank member selected for
review must complete a Community
Support Statement and submit it to the
Finance Board by the June 2, 2006
deadline prescribed in this notice. 12
CFR 944.2(b)(1)(ii) and (c). On or before
April 28, 2006, each Bank will notify
the members in its district that have
been selected for this review cycle that
they must complete and submit to the
Finance Board by the deadline a
Community Support Statement. 12 CFR
944.2(b)(2)(i). The member’s Bank will
provide a blank Community Support
Statement Form, which also is available
on the Finance Board’s Web site:http://
member’s Bank also will provide
assistance in completing the
Community Support Statement.
