SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract and Request for Comments
NCUA is reinstating a previously approved collection of information
for 3133-0146. 12 CFR Part 792, Subpart C requires anyone requesting
NCUA non-public records for use in legal proceedings, or similarly the
testimony of NCUA personnel, to provide NCUA with information regarding
the requester's grounds for the request. This process is also known as
a ``Touhy Request''. The information collected will help the NCUA
decide whether to release non-public records or permit employees to
testify in legal proceedings.
[[Page 43233]]
NCUA regulations also require an entity or person in possession of
NCUA records to notify the NCUA upon receipt of a subpoena for those
records. The NCUA requires this notice to protect its records and, when
necessary, intervene in litigation or file an objection to the
disclosure of its confidential information in the appropriate court or
tribunal.
The NCUA requests that you send your comments on this collection to
the location listed in the addresses section. Your comments should
address: (a) The necessity of the information collection for the proper
performance of NCUA, including whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of our estimate of the burden
(hours and cost) of the collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways we could
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways we could minimize the burden of the collection
of the information on the respondents such as through the use of
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology. It is NCUA's policy to make all comments available to the
public for review.
