Comment Period: Federal Home Loan Bank New Business Activities

AGENCY:

Federal Housing Finance Agency.

ACTION:

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; repeal of 12 CFR part 1272.

SUMMARY:

Pursuant to Executive Order (Executive Order or E.O.) 14219, FHFA reviewed its regulations for consistency with law and Administration policy.[1] FHFA also reviewed existing FHFA regulations with a goal of alleviating unnecessary regulatory burdens, and improving prudence and financial responsibility in the expenditure of funds, from both public and private sources. In furtherance of these goals and because FHFA has identified part 1272 as potentially disincentivizing innovation that could advance the Banks’ mission without a sufficiently offsetting safety and soundness effect, FHFA proposes to repeal 12 CFR part 1272- New Business Activities (means any business activity undertaken, transacted, conducted, or engaged in by a Bank that entails material risks not previously managed by the Bank. A Bank’s acceptance of a new type of advance collateral does not constitute an NBA.)

DATES:

FHFA will accept written comments on the proposed rule on or before August 12, 2026.
