Federal Home Loan Bank Financial Management and Mission Achievement; Withdrawal of Proposed Rule; Notice of Cancellation of Public Hearing

概要

The Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) is withdrawing its recently-proposed Financial Management and Mission Achievement (FMMA) regulation in light of the enactment of the Federal Home Loan Bank System Modernization Act of 1999 (Bank System Modernization Act). Although the Finance Board is withdrawing the proposed FMMA regulation, it intends to re-propose certain sections of the FMMA regulation in one or more separate rulemakings. However, the Finance Board will take no action to promulgate proposed or final regulations limiting Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank) assets or advances beyond those currently in effect, except to the extent necessary to protect the safety and soundness of the Banks, until the Finance Board has promulgated final capital regulations pursuant to the requirements of the Bank System Modernization Act and the statutory period for submission of capital plans by the Banks to the Finance Board has expired. The Finance Board also hereby is canceling the public hearing on the proposed FMMA regulation scheduled for November 29 and 30, 1999.
