Abstract and Request for Comments NCUA is revising the currently approved collection of information, OMB Control Number, 3133–0149, to reflect amendments to part 712 (part 712 or the rule). Part 712 of the National Credit Union Administration’s (NCUA) regulations 1 implements authority in the Federal Credit Union Act 2 relating to federally insured credit union (FICU) lending or investment activity with a credit union service organization (CUSO). The rule addresses NCUA’s safety and soundness concerns for activities conducted by CUSOs and imposes certain recordkeeping obligations on FICUs that have investment or lending relationships with, or conduct operations through, CUSOs. Certain reporting obligations are imposed on natural person credit union CUSOs and corporate credit union CUSOs as a result of the rule. Part 712 contains the following information collection (IC) requirements: (IC 1.) Obtain Written Agreement. Before making a loan to, or investment in, a CUSO, a FICU must obtain a written agreement from the CUSO (or revise any current agreement the FICU has with a CUSO) that the CUSO will: 1 12 CFR part 712.

Obtain Written Legal Opinion. A FICU must obtain a written legal opinion confirming the CUSO is established in a legally sufficient way to limit the credit union’s exposure to loss of its loans to, or investments in, the CUSO; (IC 3.) Obtain Regulatory Approval. Any FICU that is or, as a result of recapitalizing an insolvent CUSO will become, less than adequately capitalized, must seek NCUA approval before recapitalizing an insolvent CUSO; and (IC 4.) CUSO Reporting. A CUSO with an investment or loan from a FICU must annually submit a report directly to NCUA and the appropriate SSA that contains financial and other information prescribed in the rule. All CUSOs are required to provide basic profile information to NCUA and the appropriate SSA. CUSOs engaging in certain complex or high-risk activities are also required to report more detailed information, including audited financial statements and customer information. 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. NCUA requests that you send your comments on the information collection requirements for Credit Union Service Organizations, 12 CFR part 712, to the locations 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. OMB Number: 3133–0149. Form Number: None. Type of Review: Revision to a currently approved collection. Description: NCUA amended part 712 to increase transparency and address safety and soundness concerns about activities conducted by CUSOs and imposes certain recordkeeping obligations on FICUs that have investment or lending relationships with, or conduct operations through, CUSOs.3 The final rule extends certain requirements of the CUSO regulation to federally insured, state-chartered credit unions and imposes new requirements on federally insured credit unions (FICUs). Under the amended rule a FICU with an investment in, or loan to, a CUSO must obtain a written agreement with the CUSO addressing accounting, financial statements, audits, reporting, and legal opinions. The rule limits the ability of a ‘‘less than adequately capitalized’’ FICU to recapitalize an insolvent CUSO. All CUSOs are required to annually provide basic profile information to NCUA and the appropriate SSA. CUSOs engaging in certain complex or high-risk activities are also required to report more detailed information, including audited financial statements and customer information. These reporting obligations are imposed on natural person credit union CUSOs and corporate credit union CUSOs as a result of the rule. Respondents: Federally insured credit unions and credit union service organizations. Estimated No. of Respondents: 4,116. Frequency of Response: One-time, on occasion, and annual. Estimated Burden Hours per Response: Varies based on type and frequency of response. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 11,558.5 hours. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $76,177.2. II.
