FEDERAL HOUSING FINANCE BOARD

12 CFR Ch. IX

Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions

AGENCY:  Federal Housing Finance Board.

ACTION:  Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY:  The Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) hereby 
publishes items for the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and 
Deregulatory Actions, as required by section 4 of Executive Order 
12866. These items reflect the status of the regulatory agenda of the 
Finance Board as of November 1, 1999. The Finance Board is an 
independent agency in the executive branch of the Government that is 
charged by statute with supervising and regulating the nation's Federal 
Home Loan Bank (Bank) System and the Financing Corporation (FICO). The 
Bank System consists of: Twelve regional Banks that are each owned by 
their member financial institutions and that provide wholesale credit 
to members and certain nonmembers to be used for mortgage lending and 
related activities; and the Office of Finance (OF), which issues Bank 
System consolidated obligations. FICO is a corporate entity separate 
from the Bank System that oversees outstanding debt issued to assist in 
resolving the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s. The Finance Board 
has an ongoing need to adopt various regulations dealing with the 
Agency's internal administration and with Bank System and FICO issues.

    For this edition of the Finance Board's regulatory agenda, the 
most important significant regulatory actions are included in The 
Regulatory Plan, which appears in part II of this issue of the 
Federal Register. The Regulatory Plan entries are listed in the 
table of contents below and are denoted by a bracketed bold 
reference, which directs the reader to the appropriate sequence 
number in part II.

ADDRESSES:  Executive Secretariat, Federal Housing Finance Board, 1777 
F Street NW., Washington, DC 20006, (202) 408-2837.

Advisor, Office of General Counsel, Federal Housing Finance Board, 1777
