For additional information about low-income designations, contact Susan Ryan in the NCUA Office of Consumer Protection, Division of Consumer Access, at the above address, or at (703) 518–1140. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract and Request for Comments NCUA is amending and reinstating the collection for 3133–0117. The collection of information requirement is for those credit unions seeking a lowincome designation. A credit union’s member address data are utilized for analysis in the NCUA Low-Income Designation (LID) Tool. The LID Tool is a geocoding software program which analyzes member address data. A credit union’s member address data are obtained either through the NCUA examination file or a credit union sends the data as an electronic attachment to NCUA. If the member address data are obtained through the examination process and the results of the LID Tool indicate the credit union serves predominantly low-income members, the credit union is notified it is eligible for the low-income designation. The credit union then must contact NCUA to opt for the designation. If the credit union wishes to have its data reviewed other than through the examination process, it may send an electronic member address data file for analysis in the LID Tool. If a credit union does not qualify for a low-income designation using the geocoding software (LID Tool), it may submit a statistically valid sample of member income data as evidence it qualifies for the designation. Credit VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:51 Aug 09, 2013 Jkt 229001 unions are permitted to draw this sample from loan files or a member survey. 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. II. Data Title: Designation of Low-Income Status. OMB Number: 3133–0117. Form Number: None. Type of Review: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved collection.

Respondents: Certain credit unions serving predominantly low-income members. Estimated Number of Respondents/ Recordkeepers: 265 (260 credit unions requesting the designation utilizing the LID Tool, and 5 credit unions requesting the designation utilizing the sampling method).
