Legislative and Regulatory Issues
Legislative and Regulatory Issues
 Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL) expected to chair Senate Banking
Committee in Republican-controlled Senate next year
• Dodd-Frank likely to be on agenda
 AHP regulation is in initial stages of an overhaul
• Goals are to keep what is working and revamp elements no longer
relevant or workable
• Input sought from Banks, boards, Advisory Councils, and other
affordable housing constituents this year, with a goal of introducing a
new AHP regulation in 2015
 FHLBanks of Seattle and Des Moines have entered into a definitive
agreement to merge, expect process to be completed by next June
15
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: FHLBank Membership
 FHFA considering significant change to membership eligibility
requirements
• Two eligibility tests applied on ongoing basis to new and existing members
1. Non-community financial institution (CFI) depository institutions required to
hold 10 percent of total assets in “residential mortgage loans”
2. All members required to hold a certain minimum percentage of total assets
in “home mortgage loans;” one percent requirement currently proposed, and
requirement may potentially be raised to two or five percent
• Members out of compliance would be given a one-year remediation
period, and continuing failure would result in termination of membership
• Eliminates captive insurance companies from membership, seen by
the FHFA as a backdoor way for ineligible parent institutions to seek
membership
16
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: FHLBank Membership
 Main areas of focus
• Impact on members’ strategic business decisions as a result of potential loss of
access to funding source
• Would eliminate liquidity source for some, create uncertainty for others, and
impact reliability of funding from member regulator perspective
• Up until now, Congress has defined eligibility, typically expanding criteria
• If proposal is enacted, eligible asset requirement could be ratcheted up in future
 Efforts to address proposed rule published September 12
• Congressional leadership to request withdrawal of NPR
• National and local trade organizations submitting comment letters, urging their
members to do the same
• FHLBank Presidents’ Conference to submit comment letter, as will FHLB Boston
and the other FHLBanks
• Member CEOs and CFOs are encouraged to submit letters expressing their
concerns by January 12
17
Why Is the Proposed Membership Rule Important to You?
 Relatively few members affected today
 Risk is related to uncertainty
• Access to liquidity
• Potential for membership termination
 Risk also related to regulatory vs. legislative action
• Congress should determine membership eligibility and define the
associated rules
 Communications from FHLB Boston in September and Martin Geitz
last month
• Eighteen comment letters as of 11/10/14, four from Connecticut
• Goal is >1,000 Systemwide and 100 from FHLB Boston
• Need your help to get us there
