SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Number: 3133–0138.
Title: Community Development
Revolving Loan Fund—Loan and Grant
Programs, 12 CFR part 705.
Abstract: NCUA’s Community
Development Revolving Loan Fund
(CDRLF or Fund) was established by
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00084
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Congress (Pub. L. 96–123, November 20,
1979) to stimulate economic
development in low-income
communities. Part 705 was adopted by
the Board under section 130 of the
Federal Credit Union Act (12 U.S.C.
1772c–1), which implements the
Community Development Credit Union
Revolving Loan Fund Transfer Act (Pub.
L. 99–609, 100 Stat. 3475 (Nov. 6,
1986)).
The Fund is used to support credit
unions that serve low-income
communities by providing loans and
technical assistance grants to qualifying
institutions. The programs are designed
to increase income, ownership, and
employment opportunities for lowincome residents, and to stimulate
economic growth. In addition, the
programs provide assistance to improve
the quality of services to the community
and formulate more effective and
efficient operations of credit unions.
The information will allow NCUA to
assess a credit union’s capacity to repay
the Funds and/or ensure that the funds
are used as intended to benefit the
institution and community it serves.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Private Sector: Notfor-profit institutions.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 450
grant program; 4 loan program.
Estimated Annual Frequency: Once.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 785 grant program; 14 loan
program.
Estimated Burden Hours per
Response: 0.95.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 760.
Reason for Change: A reduction is
attributed to a program change due to
the recent consolidation of NCUA
informal appeals process under 12 CFR
part 746, subpart B. Additionally,
adjustments are being made to reflect
current application activity under the
Fund programs and to include
information collection activities that
had not been accounted for in the past.
OMB Number: 3133–0180.
Title: Liquidity Contingency Funding
Plans, 12 CFR 741.12.
Abstract: The 2008 financial crisis
demonstrated the importance of good
liquidity risk management to the safety
and soundness of financial institutions.
In conjunction with the OCC, FRB,
FDIC, and Conference of State Bank
Supervisors (CSBS), adopted the
Interagency Policy Statement on
Funding and Liquidity Risk
Management in March of 2010.
In October 2013, to clarify NCUA’s
expectation on the Interagency Policy

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Statement and to reduce the regulatory
burden on small credit unions, NCUA
codified the requirements for Liquidity
and Contingency Funding Plans as
§ 741.12. The rule establishes a three
tier framework for federally insured
credit unions, based on asset size.
Federally insured credit union with
assets under $50 million must maintain
a basic policy, federally insured credit
unions with assets of $50 million and
over must maintain a contingency
funding plan, and federally insured
credit unions with assets over $250
million must maintain a contingency
funding plan and establish a federal
liquidity contingency source.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Private Sector: Notfor-profit institutions.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 5,696.
Estimated Annual Frequency: 1.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 5,696.
Estimated Burden Hours per
Response: 0.78.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 4,425.
Reason for Change: A reduction in
burden hours is due to an adjustment in
the number of credit unions in each
category of respondent.
Request for Comments: Comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and included in the
request for Office of Management and
Budget approval. All comments will
become a matter of public record. The
public is invited to submit comments
concerning: (a) Whether the collection
of information is necessary for the
proper execution of the function of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of the
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
