Membership Eligibility

The Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) is proposing to amend the definition of the term ``State'' in its Membership Regulation to include the U.S. Territory of American Samoa (American Samoa) and the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (the Northern Mariana Islands). Institutions organized under the laws of American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands, therefore, will be eligible to apply for Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank) membership. In accordance with these changes, the Finance Board also is proposing to clarify in its regulations that the Seattle Bank District includes American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands. In addition, the Finance Board is proposing to designate Hawaii as the State in which members with a principal place of business in American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, or Guam, shall be deemed to be located for purposes of election of Bank directors.
