SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposal for the following collection of information: wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:21 Aug 27, 2013 Jkt 229001 I. Abstract and Request for Comments NCUA is reinstating the information collection previously approved under OMB control number 3133–0166. Under HMDA, depository institutions that have a home office or branch office located within a metropolitan statistical area must compile and make available to the public the number and total dollar amount of mortgage loans originated (or for which the institution received completed applications) or purchased during each year. 12 U.S.C. 2801 et seq. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau implements HMDA under Regulation C, 12 CFR part 1003. Regulation C requires financial institutions and mortgage lending institutions to report data about home purchase loans and refinancings that originated or purchased, or for which applications were received, and to disclose the data to the public. Under this information collection, credit unions meeting the criteria described in HMDA and Regulation C must compile, report, and make available data about home purchase loans and refinancings they originate, purchase, or for which they receive applications. The data is made available to the public to help to determine whether credit unions, along with other financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, are serving the housing needs of their members and to assist public officials in distributing public-sector investment so as to attract private investment to areas where it is needed. Additionally, federal regulators use the data to identify possible discriminatory lending patterns and enforce antidiscrimination statutes. Specifically, NCUA uses HMDA data to examine credit union compliance with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act. NCUA also uses the data to report credit union lending practices to Congress and the public. The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council compiles the data and makes it available to the public annually to carry out the purposes of HMDA. NCUA is requesting reinstatement of OMB control number 3133–0166, with changes in the estimated burden due to an increase in the number of reporting credit unions and the cost of the technology used to submit the information. Since the initial approval of the information collection, the number of credit unions involved in mortgage lending has increased slightly from 1,996 credit unions to 2,015 credit unions. The estimated cost of the information collection has been adjusted to reflect the cost of PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 53165 programmatic modifications associated with increased number of respondents and the use of technology. The increase in the number of respondents caused a corresponding increase in the estimated burden hours associated with the collection, even though NCUA estimates the time per reportable loan application necessary to submit the information collection will not change. 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: HMDA Requirements under 12 U.S.C. 2801–2810 and Regulation C, 12 CFR part 1003. OMB Number: 3133–0166.

Abstract and Request for Comments NCUA is amending/reinstating the collection for 3133–0033. NCUA is renewing the requirements for Federally Insured Credit Unions to maintain an information security program and an incident response plan that complies with Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 15 U.S.C. 6801 et seq. Section 748.0 of NCUA’s Rules and Regulations, 12 CFR 748.0, directs federally insured credit unions to adopt a security program that includes ensuring the security and confidentiality of member records, protecting against the anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records, and protecting against unauthorized access to or use of such records that could result in substantial harm or serious inconvenience to a member. The security program also contains a requirement to respond to incidents of unauthorized access to or use of member information that could result in substantial harm or serious inconvenience to a member. Proper incident response includes a notification requirement to the affected member. NCUA examiners review the programs to determine whether the credit union’s procedures comply with the information security and incident response requirements. There is a decrease of 39,776 hours from the last submission (2007). The decrease is a result of an adjustment to the number of credit unions from 8,695 to 6,753. This decline is from credit union mergers and liquidations. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposal for the following collection of 
information:

I. Abstract and Request for Comments

    NCUA is reinstating the information collection previously approved 
under OMB control number 3133-0166. Under HMDA, depository institutions 
that have a home office or branch office located within a metropolitan 
statistical area must compile and make available to the public the 
number and total dollar amount of mortgage loans originated (or for 
which the institution received completed applications) or purchased 
during each year. 12 U.S.C. 2801 et seq. The Consumer Financial 
Protection Bureau implements HMDA under Regulation C, 12 CFR part 1003. 
Regulation C requires financial institutions and mortgage lending 
institutions to report data about home purchase loans and refinancings 
that originated or purchased, or for which applications were received, 
and to disclose the data to the public.
    Under this information collection, credit unions meeting the 
criteria described in HMDA and Regulation C must compile, report, and 
make available data about home purchase loans and refinancings they 
originate, purchase, or for which they receive applications. The data 
is made available to the public to help to determine whether credit 
unions, along with other financial institutions and other mortgage 
lenders, are serving the housing needs of their members and to assist 
public officials in distributing public-sector investment so as to 
attract private investment to areas where it is needed. Additionally, 
federal regulators use the data to identify possible discriminatory 
lending patterns and enforce antidiscrimination statutes.
    Specifically, NCUA uses HMDA data to examine credit union 
compliance with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing 
Act. NCUA also uses the data to report credit union lending practices 
to Congress and the public. The Federal Financial Institutions 
Examination Council compiles the data and makes it available to the 
public annually to carry out the purposes of HMDA.
    NCUA is requesting reinstatement of OMB control number 3133-0166, 
with changes in the estimated burden due to an increase in the number 
of reporting credit unions and the cost of the technology used to 
submit the information. Since the initial approval of the information 
collection, the number of credit unions involved in mortgage lending 
has increased slightly from 1,996 credit unions to 2,015 credit unions. 
The estimated cost of the information collection has been adjusted to 
reflect the cost of programmatic modifications associated with 
increased number of respondents and the use of technology. The increase 
in the number of respondents caused a corresponding increase in the 
estimated burden hours associated with the collection, even though NCUA 
estimates the time per reportable loan application necessary to submit 
the information collection will not change.
    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.
