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. 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 comprises 12 regional 
Federal Home Loan 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 community 
lending activities. The Bank System also includes the Office of 
Finance, 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.

ADDRESSES: Federal Housing Finance Board, 1777 F Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shelia S. Willis, Office of General 
Counsel, Federal Housing Finance Board, 1777 F Street NW., Washington, 
DC 20006, (202) 408-2876; E-mail: [email protected].

Dated: March 18, 2005.

By the Federal Housing Finance Board.

Mark J. Tenhundfeld,

General Counsel.
