Request to FHFA. If a Bank finds that the contributions required pursuant to § 1291.10 are contributing to the financial instability of the Bank, the Bank may apply in writing to FHFA for a temporary suspension of such contributions.

Director review—(1) Financial instability. In determining the financial instability of a Bank, the Director shall consider such factors as:

Severely depressed Bank earnings;

A substantial decline in Bank membership capital; and

A substantial reduction in Bank advances outstanding.

Limitations on grounds for suspension. The Director shall not suspend a Bank's annual AHP contributions if it determines that the Bank's reduction in earnings is due to:

A change in the terms of advances to members that is not justified by market conditions;

Inordinate operating and administrative expenses; or

Mismanagement.
