NATIONAL CREDIT UNION ADMINISTRATION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission to OMB for
Reinstatement, Without Change, of a Previously Approved Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
ACTION: Request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NCUA intends to submit the following information
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and
clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This information
collection relates to NCUA rules and regulations, which require a
federal credit union (FCU) to monitor its eligibility to qualify for a
higher fidelity coverage deductible and to notify the NCUA if its
financial condition changes resulting in the loss of that eligibility
for the higher deductible. This information collection notice is
published to obtain comments from the public. This requirement enables
NCUA to monitor the FCU's financial condition for safety and soundness
purposes and helps to assure that FCUs are properly and adequately
[[Page 53169]]
protected against potential losses due to insider abuse such as fraud
and embezzlement.
DATES: Comments will be accepted until September 27, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are invited to submit written comments to
the NCUA Contact and the OMB Reviewer listed below:
NCUA Contact: Tracy Crews, National Credit Union Administration, 1775
Duke Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314-3428, Fax No. 703-837-2861,

OMB Contact: Office of Management and Budget, ATTN: Desk Officer for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract and Request for Comments
NCUA is reinstating a previously approved collection of information
for 3133-0170. The regulation calls for an FCU that ceases to meet
eligibility requirements for the higher deductible to obtain a policy
with the required coverage and to notify the appropriate NCUA regional
office of its changed status. The notice must also confirm that the FCU
has obtained the required coverage. The information will be used by the
regional office in its efforts to monitor credit unions for safe and
sound operations and is critically important in helping to avert or
minimize losses to the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund
(NCUSIF). The NCUSIF provides federally guaranteed account insurance
for all federally insured credit unions. Adequate insurance coverage
can avert a credit union from failing due to insolvency; alternatively,
where insolvency and failure do occur, the NCUA, in its capacity as
receiver for the failed FCU, can recoup some of its losses through a
claim under an insurance policy.
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.
