Title: Voluntary Mergers of Federal Home Loan Banks 
Abstract: Section 1209 of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 amended section 26 of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act to permit any Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank) to merge voluntarily with another Bank with the approval of its board of directors, its members, and the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). The regulation would add a new part 1278 to the regulations of FHFA to govern voluntary mergers of Banks. It would establish required procedures for Banks to follow in order to consummate a voluntary merger, including authorization by the merging Banks' boards of directors, ratification by the Banks' member institutions and approval by FHFA.
