Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(d) Election of Directors.

On September 8, 2010, the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("Bank") announced that Ronald E. Hermance, Chairman, President and CEO, Hudson City Savings Bank, Paramus, NJ and Kevin J. Lynch, Chairman, President and CEO, Oritani Bank, Washington Township, NJ (collectively, the "Reelected Directors") were deemed elected by the Bank to serve as Member Directors representing New Jersey members on the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Bank commencing on January 1, 2011. The terms of Messrs. Hermance and Lynch will each be for four years. (Both of the Reelected Directors currently serve on the Board; their current terms expire on December 31, 2010.)

The reelection of the Reelected Directors took place in accordance with the rules governing the election of Federal Home Loan Bank directors contained in the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and in the related regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the regulator of the Federal Home Loan Banks.

At the time of this filing, neither of the Reelected Directors has been named to serve on any committee of the Board for 2011; further, whether the Reelected Directors are expected to be named to serve on any committee of the Board for 2011 has not yet been determined. (Mr. Hermance currently serves on the Board’s Executive and Corporate Governance Committees; Mr. Lynch currently serves on the Board’s Executive, Compensation and Human Resources, and Housing Committees.)

Compensation of the Reelected Directors is expected to be in accordance with a 2011 Director Compensation Plan ("Compensation Plan") which will be voted on by the Board at a later time. Details regarding the Compensation Plan will be disclosed after the Compensation Plan is adopted in an appropriate filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition to the foregoing, the Bank also announced that ballots in connection with the election for two open Member Director seats in New York, and two Independent Director seats, all of which have terms commencing on January 1, 2011, will be distributed to eligible Bank members on or about October 5, 2010. In its announcement, the Bank noted that the term of office of the New York Member Director candidate who receives the highest number of votes will be four years, and the term of office of the New York Member Director candidate who receives the second-highest number of votes will be one year. The terms of office of the two Independent Directorships will be four years. Finally, the Bank noted in its announcement that the Member Director seat representing Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands will not be up for election this year.

A copy of a director election report that was sent to Bank members containing the foregoing announcements is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
