Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission to OMB for 
Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).

ACTION: Request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NCUA submitted the following information 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) (PRA). The original submission was made in connection with proposed 
amendments to the agency's rule governing corporate credit unions (12 
CFR part 704), as approved by the NCUA Board in November, 2009 and 
published in the Federal Register on December 9, 2009 (74 FR 65210). In 
view of changes made in the final rule that affect (by reducing) the 
original burden estimates, as described below, OMB has requested that 
the agency provide another opportunity for public comment.

DATES: Comments will be accepted until November 15, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties are invited to submit written comments to 
the National Credit Union Administration, Office of the Chief 
Information Officer as listed below: Tracy Crews, National Credit Union 
Administration, 1775 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA 22314-3428, Fax No. 
703-837-2861, E-mail: OCIOmail@ncua.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
a copy of the information collection request should be directed to 
Tracy Crews at the National Credit Union Administration, 1775 Duke 
Street, Alexandria, VA 22314-3428, or at (703) 518-6444. Copies of the 
final rule, as approved by the NCUA Board at its September 24 Board 
meeting, are available on the agency's Web site, https://www.NCUA.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposal for the following collection of 
information:
    OMB Number: 3133-0129.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Revision of a previously approved collection.
    Title: Corporate Credit Unions.
    Description: Part 704 of NCUA's Rules and Regulations imposes 
certain information collection obligations on corporate credit unions 
concerning their activities. As described in the preamble to the 
proposed rule, information collection requirements, within the meaning 
of the PRA, are included in the following aspects of the rule: With 
respect to capital and prompt corrective action requirements, the new 
rule creates several new capital standards and requirements, which have 
the potential to increase the likelihood of having to prepare a capital 
restoration plan, or modify an existing plan. Beginning three years 
after the effective date of the rule, some corporates may be required 
to develop and submit a retained earnings accumulation plan. The rule 
generally requires a corporate to obtain NCUA's prior approval before 
permitting the early redemption of contributed capital, and the rule 
imposes notice requirements in the event changes occur that cause the 
corporate to be placed in a lower capital category, within the prompt 
corrective action realm. The rule also imposes new requirements 
concerning the use of nationally recognized statistical rating 
agencies, which may have the effect of triggering new or modified 
investment action plans. In terms of asset-liability management, two 
cash flow mismatch tests that had been proposed have been eliminated 
from the final rule, but testing for weighted average life limits 
remains, including a new test with a 2.25 year weighted average life 
limit that assumes a 50 percent slowdown in prepayment speeds to limit 
extension risk. The rule imposes new requirements concerning obtaining 
approval for proposed CUSO activities, and the rule also imposes new 
disclosure requirements concerning senior executive compensation, 
although the scope of the disclosure obligations under the final rule 
has been scaled back from the proposal.
    Respondents: All federally insured corporate credit unions.
    Estimated No. of Respondents/Record keepers: 27.
    Estimated Burden Hours per Response: 3,887 hours, estimated as 
follows:
    Capital restoration plans: 20 corporates x 50 hours = 1,000 hours.
    Retained earnings accumulation Plans: 3 corporates x 50 hours = 150 
hours.
    Notice of intent to redeem contributed capital: 10 corporates x 1 
hour = 10 hours.
    Notice of PCA category change: 10 corporates x 1 hour = 10 hours.
    Ratings procurement: 27 corporates x 2 hours = 54 hours.
    Investment action plans: 10 corporates x 20 hours = 200 hours.
    ALM testing: 27 corporates x 84 hours = 2,268 hours.
    CUSO approval requests: 12 corporates x 2 hours = 24 hours.
    Compensation disclosures: 27 corporates x 5 hours = 135 hours.
    Merger related disclosures: 4 corporates x 5 hours = 20 hours.
    Requests to make golden parachute and severance payments: 4 
corporates x 4 hours = 16 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Reporting, recordkeeping, on occasion, 
monthly, quarterly and annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 69,605 hours--revised based on 
revised estimate of burden hours.

per corporate.)
