Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission to OMB for 
Revision to a Currently 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 (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35). This information collection is published to obtain 
comments from the public. NCUA is proposing to streamline the Community 
Development Revolving Loan Fund (CDRLF)--Loan Program collection to 
include the CDRLF Technical Assistance (Grant) Program. Both the 
CDRLF--Loan Program and the CDRLF--Technical Assistance (Grant) Program 
are administered under the NCUA Rules and Regulations Section 705. 12 
CFR Part 705. This request seeks to merge elements of both the loan and 
grant programs into the same collection and application in order to 
increase program accessibility and internal and external efficiencies. 
The newly combined application will soon be available on-line and low-
income designated credit unions will be able to apply for either a 
CDRLF loan or grant by accessing the same on-line application system.

DATES: Comments will be accepted until June 3, 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,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract and Request for Comments

    NCUA is amending the currently approved collection for 3133-0138. 
The CDRLF Loan and Technical Assistance (Grant) Programs are both 
administered under the NCUA Rules and Regulations Section 705. 12 CFR 
Part 705. Previously, two specific forms were used, one application for 
loans and one application for grants. NCUA is seeking to streamline the 
CDRLF Program application to include both the loan and the grant 
section into one interactive, on-line application in order to recognize 
internal and external efficiencies. With the merger of the grant 
documents to this collection, the burden will increase by 1,276 hours 
to include the additional calculations from low-income designated 
credit unions seeking grants. This increase is due strictly to the 
merger of grant application documents. The burden hours and cost 
related to the loan documents have not changed from the previous 
submission.
    The NCUA requests that you send your comments on this collection to 
the locations listed in the addresses section. Your comments should 
address: (a) The necessity of the information collection for the proper 
performance of the CDRLF Loan and Technical Assistance (Grant) 
Programs, 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 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. 
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or 
included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will become a 
matter of public record.
