collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and
clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, 44
U.S.C. Chapter 35). This information collection is published to obtain
comments from the public. Section 741.2 of the NCUA Rules and
Regulations (12 CFR part 741) places a maximum borrowing limit on
federally insured credit unions. State chartered federally insured
credit unions must seek a waiver of the borrowing limit from the NCUA
Regional Director prior to exceeding this limitation.
DATES: Comments will be accepted until September 17, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract and Request for Comments
NCUA is reinstating the collection for 3133-0168. The collection of
information requirement is for those state chartered federal insured
credit unions seeking a waiver from the borrowing limit. These credit
unions must submit a detailed safety and soundness analysis, a proposed
aggregate amount, a letter from the state regulator approving the
request and an explanation of the need for the waiver to the NCUA
Regional Director. This collection of information is necessary to
protect the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (``Fund''). The
NCUA Board has determined that borrowing in excess of 50 percent of
paid-in and unimpaired capital and surplus may cause an undue risk to
the Fund and a loss of confidence in the credit union system. The NCUA
must be made aware of and be able to monitor those credit unions
seeking a waiver from the requirement. There is no change in burden
hours from previous submission.
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.
