Summary

SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is re-organizing and readopting existing investment regulations that apply to the Federal Home Loan Banks (Banks) and that were previously adopted by the Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board). The regulation is being adopted as a new part in FHFA’s regulations. As part of this rulemaking, FHFA will incorporate limits on the Banks’ investment in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and certain asset-backed securities (ABS) that were previously set forth in the Finance Board’s Financial Management Policy (FMP). The FMP will terminate as of the effective date of this rule.

DATES: This rule is effective on June 20, 2011.​
