Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 110–289, which directed amendment of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (this chapter) by substituting "the Director" for "the Board" wherever appearing, was not executed to subsec. (a) in two places where "the Board" appeared before "of Governors of the Federal Reserve System", to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
1989—Pub. L. 101–73 amended section generally. Prior to amendment, section read as follows:
