SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract and Request for Comments tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES NCUA is requesting extension of the previously approved collection of information related to NCUA’s regulation on PCA, 12 CFR part 702 (Part 702), which provides the requirements for PCA for federally insured credit unions (FICUs). Section 216 of the Federal Credit Union Act (12 U.S.C. 1790d) mandates the requirements of PCA. Section 216 requires the NCUA Board to (1) adopt, by regulation, a system of PCA to restore the net worth of inadequately capitalized FICUs; and (2) develop an alternative system of PCA for new credit unions that carries out the purpose of PCA while allowing reasonable time to build net worth to an adequate level. Part 702 implements the statutory mandate by establishing a system of PCA to restore the net worth of inadequately capitalized FICUs. To achieve this, various information collections are required on occasion as the circumstances require. NCUA requests that you send your comments on this information 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: Prompt Corrective Action, 12 CFR part 702. OMB Number: 3133–0154. Form Number: None. Type of Review: Extension of a previously approved collection. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:09 Jan 21, 2015 Jkt 235001 Description: Part 702 provides for a system of PCA. To comply with Part 702, a FICU may be subject to reporting requirements based on its net worth classification. Additionally, the rule allows FICUs to request waivers from certain requirements to which they may otherwise be subject. NCUA uses the information provided to ensure the purpose of PCA is being carried out and that FICUs build adequate levels of net worth within a reasonable time. Respondents: Federally insured credit unions. Estimated No. of Respondents: 642 FICUs. Estimated Burden Hours per Response: Varies by collection. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,847 hours. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $122,680.33. By the National Credit Union Administration Board on January 14, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract and Request for Comments NCUA is extending a previously approved collection of information for 12 CFR 750, Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments. Part 750 is NCUA’s regulation that prohibits, in certain circumstances, a FICU from making golden parachute and indemnification payments to an IAP. The collection of information requirement applies to troubled FICUs seeking approval to make a severance or golden parachute payment to an IAP. Specifically, § 750.6 requires requests for an FICU to make nondiscriminatory severance plan payments under § 750.1(e)(2)(v) and golden parachute payments permitted by § 750.4 to be submitted in writing to NCUA. In NCUA’s experience, FICU requests to make severance and golden parachute payments within the scope of the rule do not occur often. NCUA estimates that, as of June 30, 2014, there are 6,429 FICUs. Of those, there were 278 problem FICUs with CAMEL 4 or 5 ratings. Of those, 229 FICUs had less than $50 million in total assets and an additional 22 FICUs had less than $100 million in total assets. These smaller FICUs are unlikely to seek NCUA approval to make severance or golden parachute PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 payments because these payments are more typically seen in the executive compensation of larger, more complex FICUs. Of the remaining 27 larger problem FICUs, NCUA anticipates no more than 20 percent would seek NCUA approval to make a severance or golden parachute payment. Accordingly, NCUA estimates that on an annual basis and across all FICUs, only approximately five FICUs will need to solicit NCUA approval in advance of making a severance or golden parachute payment within the scope of the rule and that preparing the request for approval may take four hours. Five FICUs times four hours per respondent equals 20 annual burden hours. In the Federal Register of November 5, 2014 (79 FR 65711), NCUA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. NCUA received no comments during that period. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
