Summary

SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA or Agency) is issuing a final rule governing the disclosure of FHFA non-public information. The final rule replaces rules issued by FHFA’s predecessor agencies the Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) and the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO). The final rule prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of FHFA non-public information, replaces the Finance Board’s rule on the Availability of Unpublished Information, and parallels those portions of OFHEO’s former rule on non-public information that were not replaced by FHFA’s Freedom of Information Act regulation.

DATES: The effective date of this regulation is: August 2, 2013.​
