SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Procedural Background This rule is limited to the changes contained in Amendment 8 to CoC No. 1004 and does not include other aspects of the Standardized NUHOMS System cask design. The NRC is using the ‘‘direct final rule procedure’’ to issue this amendment because it represents a limited and routine change to an existing CoC that is expected to be noncontroversial. Adequate protection of public health and safety continues to be ensured. The direct final rule will become effective on August 8, 2005. However, if the NRC receives significant adverse comments by June 24, 2005, then the NRC will publish a document that withdraws the direct final rule and will subsequently address the comments received in a final rule. The NRC will not initiate a second comment period on this action. A significant adverse comment is a comment where the commenter explains why the rule would be inappropriate, including challenges to the rule’s underlying premise or approach, or would be ineffective or unacceptable without a change. A comment is adverse and significant if: (1) The comment opposes the rule and provides a reason sufficient to require a substantive response in a notice-andcomment process. For example, in a substantive response: (a) The comment causes the NRC staff to reevaluate (or reconsider) its position or conduct additional analysis; (b) The comment raises an issue serious enough to warrant a substantive response to clarify or complete the record; or (c) The comment raises a relevant issue that was not previously addressed or considered by the NRC staff. (2) The comment proposes a change or an addition to the rule, and it is apparent that the rule would be ineffective or unacceptable without incorporation of the change or addition. (3) The comment causes the NRC staff to make a change (other than editorial) to the CoC or TS.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: NCUA proposes to amend its fidelity bond rule to increase the maximum allowable deductible, presently $200,000, and change the minimum required coverage. NCUA also proposes to discontinue listing approved bonds in the rule but continue to list and update them on its website. NCUA believes these changes modernize the rule and provide flexibility while addressing safety and soundness concerns. NCUA solicits comment on whether to rescind its approval of Blanket Bond Standard Form 23, which has not changed since 1950 and is no longer widely used. NCUA solicits suggestions on factors credit unions should consider in determining whether to raise their bond coverage above the regulatory requirements. Finally, NCUA is proposing a technical correction in the regulation that requires fidelity bond coverage for federally insured, state chartered credit unions.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ross P. Kendall, Staff Attorney, Office of General Counsel, at the above address or telephone (703) 518–6540. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NCUA’s policy is to review regulations periodically to ‘‘update, clarify and simplify existing regulations and eliminate redundant and unnecessary provisions.’’ Interpretive Ruling and Policy Statement (IRPS) 87–2, Developing and Reviewing Government Regulations. NCUA notifies the public about the review, which is conducted on a rolling basis so that a third of its regulations are reviewed each year. The changes in this proposed rule are the result of NCUA’s staff review and public comments. ADDRESSES: Proposed Changes Increase in Maximum Deductible and Changes in Coverage Amounts The rule currently provides a sliding scale, based on asset size, for both the maximum allowable deductible and coverage amounts in a fidelity bond. The maximum deductible is currently $2,000 plus one one-thousandth of total assets, up to a maximum of $200,000. 12 CFR 713.6(a). The result of this formula is that credit unions with assets in excess of $198 million are limited to a $200,000 deductible. Asset size is currently the only consideration affecting the amount of the deductible. The Board is proposing to keep the current formula based on asset size but raise the maximum deductible to $1,000,000 for credit unions that qualify under NCUA’s Regulatory Flexibility Program. 12 CFR part 742. The proposed PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 30017 amendment provides that credit unions qualifying under the Regulatory Flexibility Program with assets over $200 million will be able to purchase bonds with greater deductibles than is permitted under the current rule. The proposed maximum deductible of $1,000,000 is reached when a qualifying credit union has assets over $998 million. The Board notes that many credit unions have had a substantial growth in assets since the maximum deductible was last increased in 1981, and inflation in the economy since then also supports making an adjustment. The Board believes large, well-run credit unions with substantial net worth can absorb financial risk greater than $200,000. The Board notes, for example, that a credit union with assets of one billion dollars and sufficient net worth to qualify under the Regulatory Flexibility Program would have a net worth of at least $90 million, which is more than adequate to absorb a million dollar deductible. The Board invites comment on whether different criteria, such as the capital standards in NCUA’s Prompt Corrective Action regulation, would be a more appropriate measure to link to the higher permissible deductible. 12 CFR part 702. In any event, the Board intends to maintain, as reflected in the proposal, the current deductible limits for credit unions that do not qualify under the additional criteria. With regard to status changes, the proposal provides that a credit union initially meeting the criterion but subsequently failing to meet the criterion for a larger deductible must get the required coverage within thirty days. The proposal would also require that a credit union in these circumstances to give written notice to the appropriate NCUA regional office. A credit union’s notice will only need to state that its status has changed and confirm that it has secured the required coverage. The NCUA Board believes the current risk environment for credit unions calls for increases in bond coverage at both ends of the range in asset size. Currently, the maximum required coverage is $5 million and applies to all credit unions with assets greater than $295 million. The rule notes that credit unions with substantial amounts of cash on hand or in transit may require greater coverage. 12 CFR 713.5. The $5 million maximum coverage requirement has not changed since 1977 and, in addition to inflation, at least two additional factors support raising this limit.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information see the direct 
final rule published in the final rules section of this Federal 
Register.

Procedural Background

    This rule is limited to the changes contained in Amendment 8 to CoC 
No. 1004 and does not include other aspects of the Standardized 
NUHOMS[reg] System cask design. The NRC is using the 
``direct final rule procedure'' to issue this amendment because it 
represents a limited and routine change to an existing CoC that is 
expected to be noncontroversial. Adequate protection of public health 
and safety continues to be ensured. The direct final rule will become 
effective on August 8, 2005. However, if the NRC receives significant 
adverse comments by June 24, 2005, then the NRC will publish a document 
that withdraws the direct final rule and will subsequently address the 
comments received in a final rule. The NRC will not initiate a second 
comment period on this action.
    A significant adverse comment is a comment where the commenter 
explains why the rule would be inappropriate, including challenges to 
the rule's underlying premise or approach, or would be ineffective or 
unacceptable without a change. A comment is adverse and significant if:
    (1) The comment opposes the rule and provides a reason sufficient 
to require a substantive response in a notice-and-comment process. For 
example, in a substantive response:
    (a) The comment causes the NRC staff to reevaluate (or reconsider) 
its position or conduct additional analysis;
    (b) The comment raises an issue serious enough to warrant a 
substantive response to clarify or complete the record; or
    (c) The comment raises a relevant issue that was not previously 
addressed or considered by the NRC staff.
    (2) The comment proposes a change or an addition to the rule, and 
it is apparent that the rule would be ineffective or unacceptable 
without incorporation of the change or addition.
    (3) The comment causes the NRC staff to make a change (other than 
editorial) to the CoC or TS.
