Notice of Federal Home Loan Bank Members Selected for Community Support Review

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 added a new Section 10(g) to the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932 requiring that members of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLBank) System meet standards for community investment or service in order to maintain continued access to long-term FHLBank System advances. In compliance with this statutory change, the Federal Housing Finance Board (Housing Finance Board) promulgated Community Support regulations (12 CFR Part 936). Under the review process established in the regulations, the Housing Finance Board will select a certain number of members for review each quarter, so that all members that are subject to the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, 12 U.S.C. 2901 et seq., (CRA), will be reviewed once every two years. The purpose of this Notice is to announce the names of the members selected for the third quarter review (1996-97 cycle) under the regulations. The Notice also conveys the dates by which members need to comply with the Community Support regulation review requirements and by which comments from the public must be received.
