Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

(a) On April 17, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (the "Bank") voted to amend and restate its Bylaws. The foregoing was done as part of an effort to reconfigure the role of the Board’s Executive Committee. The following is a description of the provisions changed by the amendment and the previous provisions (where applicable or not clear from the context):

In Article IV, Section 1:

* a new second sentence was added to the first paragraph to establish that, in addition to the powers of the Executive Committee contained in the first sentence of the paragraph, the Executive Committee may be assigned other responsibilities from time to time by the Board;

* in the first sentence of the second paragraph, while a provision in the previous edition of the Bylaws establishing that the Board Chair shall be the Executive Committee Chair was retained, a related provision providing that the Board Chair may in turn delegate this responsibility to the Board Vice Chair if desired by the Board Chair was deleted; and

* in the first sentence of the third paragraph, while a provision in the previous edition of the Bylaws establishing that the Executive Committee shall meet as provided by its charter was retained, a related provision that the Committee shall also meet by resolution of the Board, or at the call of its Chair or of the President of the Bank, was deleted.

In Article IV, Sections 2 and 3 (in their first and third sentences, respectively) were changed to provide that final determinations regarding certain Board Committee memberships shall be made by the Board, after taking into account recommendations from the Corporate Governance Committee; the previous edition of the Bylaws provided that final determinations regarding the membership of these Committees were made by the Board, after taking into account recommendations from both the Corporate Governance Committee and the Executive Committee.

The foregoing description of the changes to the Bank’s Bylaws is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaws of the Bank which are filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and which are incorporated herein by reference.
