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.
