SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is repealing two obsolete and outdated Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) regulations, which relate to meetings of the Board of Directors of the Finance Board and the manner of calculating the Resolution Funding Corporation (RefCorp) obligations of the Federal Home Loan Banks (Banks), respectively.

​SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is issuing a final rule governing the production of FHFA records, information or employee testimony in connection with legal proceedings in which neither the United States nor FHFA is a party. This final rule establishes requirements and procedures for parties to submit demands or requests, and factors for FHFA to consider in determining whether FHFA employees will provide records, information, or testimony relating to their official duties.

SUMMARY: This document corrects the preamble to a proposed rule published in the Federal Register of February 8, 2013, regarding Production of FHFA Records, Information, and Employee Testimony in Legal Proceedings.

DATES: The closing date for the comment period in the proposed rule published February 8, 2013, at 78 FR 9336, is April 9, 2013.​
 

SUMMARY: This document reprints, in a more readable format, a table displaying the new benchmark levels for the single-family housing goals for 2012, 2013 and 2014 that originally appeared in the final rule published in the Federal Register on November 13, 2012 entitled "2012–2014 Enterprise Housing Goals."

DATES: Effective December 20, 2012.​

SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (Safety and Soundness Act) requires the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to establish annual housing goals for mortgages purchased by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) (collectively, the Enterprises). FHFA previously established housing goals for the Enterprises through 2011.

SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is issuing and seeking comments on a proposed rule that would amend FHFA’s existing housing goals regulation to establish housing goals for 2012, 2013 and 2014 for the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) (collectively, the Enterprises). The benchmark levels established by this regulation for 2013 would continue in effect for 2014, unless FHFA determines that the 2014 benchmark levels should be adjusted based on its market assessment for 2014.
