Title: Capital Planning and Stress
Testing, 12 CFR part 702, subpart E.
Abstract: To protect the National
Credit Union Share Insurance Fund
(NCUSIF) and the credit union system,
the largest Federally Insured Credit
Unions (FICUs) must have systems and
processes to monitor and maintain their
capital adequacy. This rule requires
SUMMARY:

FICUs with assets of $10 billion or more
(covered credit unions) to develop,
maintain, and submit a capital plan
annually. NCUA took into account the
risk to the NCUSIF of the largest FICUs
as it considered the need for capital
plans at these institutions. The size of
these institutions relative to the NCUSIF
makes capital planning essential.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

ACTION: Notice and request for comment.
AGENCY:
The National Credit Union
Administration (NCUA), as part of a
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to comment on the revision of
an existing collection, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Written comments should be
received on or before May 22, 2018 to
be assured consideration.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the information collections to Dawn
Wolfgang, National Credit Union
Administration, 1775 Duke Street, Suite
5080, Alexandria, Virginia 22314; Fax

Title: Joint Standards for Assessing
the Diversity Policies and Practices.
Abstract: Section 342 of the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act of 2010 (Act) required
SUMMARY:
PO 00000

the NCUA, the Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency (OCC), Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (Board), Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Bureau of
Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB),
and Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) (Agencies) each to
establish an Office of Minority and
Women Inclusion (OMWI) to be
responsible for all matters of the Agency
relating to diversity in management,
employment, and business activities.
The Act also instructed each OMWI
Director to develop standards for
assessing the diversity policies and
practices of entities regulated by the
Agency. The Agencies worked together
to develop joint standards and, on June
10, 2015, they jointly published in the
Federal Register the ‘‘Final Interagency
Policy Statement Establishing Joint
Standards for Assessing the Diversity
Policies and Practices of Entities
Regulated by the Agencies.’’
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Private Sector: Notfor-profit institutions.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 325.
Estimated Annual Frequency: 1.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 325.
Estimated Burden Hours per
Response: 10.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 3,250.
Reason for Change: The NCUA had
received OMB approval for the use of
the ‘‘Voluntary Credit Union SelfAssessment Checklist’’ to provide a
user-friendly tool to assess credit unions
diversity policies and practices. The
NCUA is revising this checklist at this
time to:
1. Provide space for the user to
identify the credit union’s Diversity and
Inclusion Officer and Supplier Diversity
Officer or equivalents. This information
will help gauge the formality of the
credit union’s diversity and inclusion
program and provide direct contact
information with individuals holding
these positions.
2. Remove the option for a credit
union to answer in the negative; only
affirmative responses are requested and
removing the requirement to provide a
comment if the respondent answers a
question in the affirmative.
3. Converts the Self-Assessment
standards from a question format to a
statement format.
4. Provides space for the user to
document their definition of diversity if
it is broader than just minorities and
women as referenced in the joint
standards. Collection of this information
will allow the NCUA to better

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 57 / Friday, March 23, 2018 / Notices
amozie on DSK30RV082PROD with NOTICES
understand how credit unions are
defining diversity.
5. Include a table to capture the
workforce profile. The table provides
space for users to provide a breakdown
of their workforce by gender and
minority status.
6. Include a table to capture total
annual procurement spend with
minority and women-owned businesses.
This data will help us gauge the amount
of spending credit unions are doing
with minority- and women-owned
businesses.
The NCUA estimates that the average
response time per respondent is 10
hours. At the time of the approval of the
original collection, the Agencies joint
estimate of the time per response per
respondent was 12 hours. NCUA has reevaluated its estimates and has
determined that the burden on the
credit union will be reduced by the
redesign of the form.
An adjustment in the number of
respondents is being made to reflect
reduction in the number of credit
unions reporting.
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
information technology.
