Traditionally, underrepresented groups in STEM include females, African-American, Hispanics, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders (natives of the Philippines, Guam, American Samoa, or Micronesia), and disabled students. The NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) Shadowing and Exploring Project is a career exploration initiative targeting students in the 14–20 age groups. It connects classroom training to tangible activities that enable practical application of STEM disciplines, and cultivates innovative thinking. The program is designed to increase awareness of STEM career paths and encourage both the pursuit and retention of STEM majors during the initial years of college. The program incorporates GRC scientists, engineers, technicians, and administrative professionals to serve as mentors to participating students. The NASA Glenn Research Center Shadowing and Exploring Project Participation are voluntary and registration is required to participate. II. Method of Collection Electronic and Paper III.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES I. Abstract and Request for Comments The FCU Act establishes the rules for FCU chartering and field of membership. 12 U.S.C. 1753(5), 1754, 1759. The NCUA Board, after consideration of public comment, incorporated the Chartering Manual into NCUA’s regulations at 12 CFR 701.1, and Appendix B to part 701, in 2008. 73 FR 73392, Dec. 2, 2008. NCUA most recently issued for public comment and amended the Chartering Manual in 2013. 78 FR 13460, Feb. 28, 2013. NCUA is issuing this notice and request for comment on the reinstatement and amendment of the previously approved information collection PRA number related to the Chartering Manual, 3133–0015. Staff has incorporated into this collection other previously proposed, expired or combined information collections also related to the Chartering Manual, including 3133–0116 and 3133–0178. The collections are not new and the estimated amount of burden hours is based on NCUA’s experience with this regulation and the current number of CUs. The amount is generally decreasing as a result of technology and the continuing trend of annual decreases in the number of CUs. NCUA staff reviewed each of the four chapters and appendices of the Chartering Manual to identify all current information collection requirements. The four chapters are: One, FCU chartering; two, field of membership requirements for FCUs; three, low-income CUs and CUs serving underserved areas; and four, charter conversions; as well as related appendices. NCUA uses the information it collects pursuant to the Chartering Manual to regulate CUs’ compliance with the FCU Act and NCUA regulations and to protect the safety and soundness of CUs and the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. As a preliminary matter, those persons choosing to organize a new FCU must comply with certain information collection requirements upon starting the FCU outlined in this Chartering Manual. Over the past three years, organizers have established an average of approximately two new FCUs each year. We estimate each new FCU must spend approximately 160 hours to initially comply with the Chartering Manual’s information collection requirements (ICR), for a total annual collection of 320 hours. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:07 Aug 21, 2013 Jkt 229001 For current FCUs, NCUA staff also reviewed each chapter and appendices to the Chartering Manual to estimate current annual burden hours for CUs attached to each ICR. We have listed these estimates below in the Data section. NCUA does not believe that CUs will incur any additional labor costs as a result of the Chartering Manual requirements since these are in accordance with the CUs’ usual and customary business practices. The Chartering Manual addresses integral parts of a CU’s operation as a memberowned, not-for-profit financial cooperative. Since a CU could not operate as a chartered and insured credit union without complying with these collections, there is no additional labor cost burden. 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 any 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: NCUA Chartering and Field of Membership Manual, 12 CFR 701.1, and App. B to Part 701.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract and Request for Comments

    The FCU Act establishes the rules for FCU chartering and field of 
membership. 12 U.S.C. 1753(5), 1754, 1759. The NCUA Board, after 
consideration of public comment, incorporated the Chartering Manual 
into NCUA's regulations at 12 CFR 701.1, and Appendix B to part 701, in 
2008. 73 FR 73392, Dec. 2, 2008. NCUA most recently issued for public 
comment and amended the Chartering Manual in 2013. 78 FR 13460, Feb. 
28, 2013.
    NCUA is issuing this notice and request for comment on the 
reinstatement and amendment of the previously approved information 
collection PRA number related to the Chartering Manual, 3133-0015. 
Staff has incorporated into this collection other previously proposed, 
expired or combined information collections also related to the 
Chartering Manual, including 3133-0116 and 3133-0178. The collections 
are not new and the estimated amount of burden hours is based on NCUA's 
experience with this regulation and the current number of CUs. The 
amount is generally decreasing as a result of technology and the 
continuing trend of annual decreases in the number of CUs.
    NCUA staff reviewed each of the four chapters and appendices of the 
Chartering Manual to identify all current information collection 
requirements. The four chapters are: One, FCU chartering; two, field of 
membership requirements for FCUs; three, low-income CUs and CUs serving 
underserved areas; and four, charter conversions; as well as related 
appendices. NCUA uses the information it collects pursuant to the 
Chartering Manual to regulate CUs' compliance with the FCU Act and NCUA 
regulations and to protect the safety and soundness of CUs and the 
National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund.
    As a preliminary matter, those persons choosing to organize a new 
FCU must comply with certain information collection requirements upon 
starting the FCU outlined in this Chartering Manual. Over the past 
three years, organizers have established an average of approximately 
two new FCUs each year. We estimate each new FCU must spend 
approximately 160 hours to initially comply with the Chartering 
Manual's information collection requirements (ICR), for a total annual 
collection of 320 hours.
    For current FCUs, NCUA staff also reviewed each chapter and 
appendices to the Chartering Manual to estimate current annual burden 
hours for CUs attached to each ICR. We have listed these estimates 
below in the Data section.
    NCUA does not believe that CUs will incur any additional labor 
costs as a result of the Chartering Manual requirements since these are 
in accordance with the CUs' usual and customary business practices. The 
Chartering Manual addresses integral parts of a CU's operation as a 
member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative. Since a CU could 
not operate as a chartered and insured credit union without complying 
with these collections, there is no additional labor cost burden.
    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 any 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.
