The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is transferring regulations of the former Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) to the FHFA's regulations. These regulations address, respectively, Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank) housing associates, the Banks' core mission activities, and Bank issuance of standby letters of credits. FHFA is not making any substantive amendments to these regulations, and is making only those changes that are necessary to accomplish the transfer and to account for the fact that FHFA has succeeded the Finance Board as the regulator for the Banks.
