    P.L. 106-102 requires Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs) to replace their $300 millionannual payment for the interest on bonds issued by the Resolution Funding Corporation(REFCORP) with an assessment set at 20 percent of the FHLBs' net income. BecauseTreasury pays the difference between total interest on REFCORP bonds and the FHLBs'contribution, the increase in FHLBs' payments reduces Treasury's required payments. OMB estimates that this provision will increase the FHLBs' interest payment and reducethe Treasury's payment by $440 million over five years. The Act also contains a numberof provisions that impact Federal regulatory activities funded by offsetting feecollections, which result in no net budgetary impact.
