SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract and Request for Comments

    NCUA is reinstating the collection of information for 3133-0139. 
NCUA has authorized federal credit unions to advance money to members 
to cover account deficits without having a credit application on file 
if the credit union has a written overdraft policy. 12 CFR 
701.21(c)(3). NCUA believes a written policy is necessary to ensure 
safety and soundness in the credit union industry and to protect the 
interests of credit union members where a federal credit union provides 
overdraft protection to a member without having his or her credit 
application on file. NCUA has also authorized federally insured credit 
unions to offer lending-related incentive pay to employees, provided 
they establish written policies regarding such plans. 12 CFR 
701.21(c)(8). NCUA believes those written policies are necessary to 
ensure a plan is fully considered before being adopted and for the 
examination process. NCUA examiners use the information in these 
policies to review for safety and soundness. This submission represents 
an adjustment to the recordkeeping hour and cost burden since the last 
submission. Based on information in March 2013 call reports, we 
estimate approximately 1,725 federal credit unions are required to have 
written overdraft policies and approximately 575 federally insured 
credit unions are required to have written policies for lending-related 
employee incentive pay plans.
    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.
