NATIONAL CREDIT UNION
ADMINISTRATION
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Amended Submission to
OMB for Reinstatement, With Change,
of a Previously Approved Collection
National Credit Union
Administration (NCUA).
ACTION: Technical correction.
AGENCY:
NCUA is publishing this
technical correction to correct an
inadvertent burden calculation which
appeared in prior notices published in
the Federal Register and was also
submitted to OMB for its Truth in
Savings Act (TISA) information
collection (OMB control number 3133–
0134). The initial burden estimate is
being reduced as described in question
12 of the TISA Supporting Statement,
which also reduces the estimated
annual burden hours. The erroneous
calculation listed the estimated total
annual burden hours at 43,456,180,359
hours. The amended submission, which
contains the corrected burden hours,
lists 9,899,116 estimated total annual
burden hours (which combines the onetime annual burden of 2,759,929 hours
and the continuing annual burden of
7,139,187 hours). NCUA calculated the
burden hours using total estimated
number of credit union members
nationwide. This notice is published to
notify the public of the correct burden
calculations and to inform the public
that, on November 7, 2013, NCUA
70073
amended its original submission to
OMB with the corrected burden
calculations shown in this notice below.
Amended changes will be reflected at
www.reginfo.gov after the collection has
concluded the approval process.
12. Burden estimate: 1
The estimated number of respondents
includes the total number of credit
unions based on the NCUA year-end
call report data for 2012. The Credit
Union National Association, a national
trade association, contributed to
information regarding privately-insured
credit unions. The analysis assumes that
all credit unions will collect the TISA
information and, therefore, be subject to
this rule.
Number of credit unions: 6,859.
Federal credit unions: 4,211.
State chartered, federally-insured
credit unions: 2,507.
State chartered, privately-insured
credit unions: 141.
Number of credit unions with assets
under $10 million: 2,339.

Continuing Annual Burden
1 In the absence of supplementary information in
determining the reporting burden for credit unions,
NCUA has adopted the same estimated time per
response as the Federal Reserve System. The
supporting information associated with Regulation
DD (OMB Control No: 7100–0271) is published at
76 FR 29242 (May 20, 2011).
2 The one-time burden would only apply to a
newly chartered credit union. Pre-existing credit
unions will only have a continuing annual
compliance burden.
3 The one-time burden was estimated using the
estimated total number of credit union members,
95,032,999 million as of December 31, 2012.
4 This estimate is based on the assumption that
at least 2 employees, a manager and teller, would
be trained for every credit union. It is also estimated
that training will require an average of 16 hours.
5 Many credit unions use automated technology,
i.e. computer software, to aid in their compliance
with TISA and the regulations. NCUA estimates
that credit unions will need approximately one
business day, eight hours, for necessary system
maintenance.
6 Credit unions must monitor their advertising
materials to ensure compliance with TISA and Part
707. NCUA estimates it takes two business days, 16
hours, for these compliance reviews.
7 This estimate is based on the difference between
the total number of accounts at year-end 2011 and
2012. The difference is an estimate of the total
number of new accounts.
8 The total number of term share accounts, share
certificates, was broken out by the dollar amount
proportions of various maturing categories of
certificates. Information on the dollar amounts
placed in certificates with maturities less than one
year, one to three years, and greater than three years
is available. The ratio of each dollar volume
category was applied to the total number of term
share accounts in the less than one year category
were assumed to have an annual disclosure
requirement. One-half of the number of term share
accounts in the one to three year category was
assumed to have an annual disclosure requirement.
Twenty percent of certificates in the over three
years category were assumed to have an annual
disclosure requirement.

The National Science

emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
9 Twenty-five
percent of the total number of
existing accountholders is assumed to require
notification, on an annual basis, of a change-interms notice. The estimate is conservative and
assumes very stable market interest rates for fixedrate accounts.
10 The figure for periodic statements was
estimated by assuming that on average, members
receive quarterly statements.
11 While the burden of advertising is difficult to
assess, NCUA believes that a minimum of 10 hours
per credit union per year is a conservative estimate
of the increased advertising compliance burden
required due to the Truth in Savings rule.
12 NCUA estimates that credit unions will need to
perform continuous training for new employees and
to refresh existing employees on TISA and Part 707.
Based on an average of two employees per year per
credit union, NCUA has used the four hours of
training per employee that it applies to continuing
NCUA examiner training as the estimated an annual
burden for credit unions.

Abstract
Proposed Project
The Industry/University Cooperative
Research Centers (I/UCRC) Program was
initiated in 1973 to develop long-term
partnerships among industry, academe
and government. The National Science
Foundation invests in these
partnerships to promote research
programs of mutual interest, contribute
to the Nation’s research infrastructure
base and enhance the intellectual
capacity of the engineering or science
workforce through the integration of
research and education. As appropriate,
NSF encourages international
collaborations that advance these goals
within the global context.
The I/UCRC program seeks to achieve
this by:
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
1. Contributing to the nation’s
research enterprise by developing longterm partnerships among industry,
academe, and government;
2. Leveraging NSF funds with
industry to support graduate students
performing industrially relevant
research;
3. Expanding the innovation capacity
of our nation’s competitive workforce
through partnerships between industries
and universities; and
4. Encouraging the nation’s research
enterprise to remain competitive
through active engagement with
academic and industrial leaders
throughout the world.
The centers are catalyzed by a small
investment from NSF and they are
primarily supported by other private
and public sector center members, with
NSF taking a supporting role in the
development and evolution of the I/
UCRC. The I/UCRC program initially
offers five-year Phase I) continuing
awards. This five-year period of support
allows for the development of a strong
partnership between the academic
researchers and their industrial and
government members. After five years,
centers that continue to meet the I/
UCRC program requirements may
request support for a second five-year
(Phase II) period. These awards allow
centers to continue to grow and
diversify their non-NSF memberships
during their Phase II period. After ten
years, a Phase III award provides a third
five-year award for centers that
demonstrate their viability,
sustainability, and which have had a
significant impact on industry research
as measured through annual reports, site
visits, and adherence to I/UCRC
requirements. Centers are expected to be
fully supported by industry, other
Federal agencies, and state and local
government partners after fifteen-years
as an I/UCRC.
Centers will be required to provide
data to NSF and its authorized
representatives (contractors or grantees).
These data will be used for NSF internal
reports, historical data, and for securing
future funding for continued I/UCRC
program maintenance and growth.
Updates to the IUCRC database of
performance indicators will be required
annually. Centers will be responsible for
submitting the following information
after the award expires for their fiscal
year of activity. The indicators are both
quantitative and descriptive.
• Quantitative information from the
most recently completed fiscal year
such as:
