Download as PDF 55592 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 201 / Thursday, October 17, 2019 / Notices SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION OMB Number: 3133–0059. Title: Supervisory Committee Audits and Verifications. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Abstract: Title 12 CFR part 715 prescribes the responsibilities of the supervisory committee to obtain an audit of the credit union and verification of member accounts as outlined in Section 115 of the Federal Credit Union Act, 12 U.S.C. 1761d. A supervisory committee audit is required at least once every calendar year covering the period since the last audit and to conduct a verification of members’ accounts not less frequently than once every two years. The information is used by both the credit union and the NCUA to ensure through audit testing that the credit union’s assets, liabilities, equity, income, and expenses exist, are properly valued, controlled and meet ownership, disclosure and classification requirements of sound financial reporting. A written report on the audit must be made to the board of directors and, if requested, NCUA. Working papers must be maintained and made available to NCUA. Independence requirements must be met; standards governing verifications and the methods used to verify member’s passbooks and accounts are set forth. Section 741.202 makes these requirements applicable to federally insured state-chartered credit unions. Affected Public: Private Sector: Businesses or other for-profits. Estimated No. of Respondents: 5,308. Estimated Annual Frequency: 4.16. Estimated Total Annual Responses: 22,086. Estimated Average Hours: 0.57. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 12,549. Reason for Change: Adjustments are due to the decline in the number of FICUs due to industry consolidation from mergers and liquidations; the time per response was reduced to remove the regulatory burden reported under the PRA to only reflect the information collection burden associated with a recordkeeping requirement, and capture a disclosure requirement not previously reported. By Gerard Poliquin, Secretary of the Board, the National Credit Union Administration, on October 11, 2019. Dated: October 11, 2019. Mackie I. Malaka, NCUA PRA Clearance Officer.

SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 OMB Number: 3145–0244. Expiration Date of Approval: January 31, 2020. Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to renew an information collection. Proposed Project: NSF and the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) have long supported basic research in scientific and engineering disciplines necessary to understand natural hazards and extreme events. The Prediction of and Resilience against Extreme Events (PREEVENTS) program is one element of the NSF-wide Risk and Resilience activity, which has the overarching goal of improving predictability and risk assessment, and increasing resilience, in order to reduce the impact of extreme events on our life, society, and economy. PREEVENTS provides an additional mechanism to support research and related activities that will improve our understanding of the fundamental processes underlying natural hazards and extreme events in the geosciences. PREEVENTS is intended to encourage new scientific directions in the domains of natural hazards and extreme events. PREEVENTS will consider proposals for conferences that will foster development of interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary communities required to address complex questions surrounding natural hazards and extreme events. Such proposals are called PREEVENTS Track 1 proposals. In addition to standard NSF annual and final report requirements, PIs for all PREEVENTS Track 1 awards will be required to submit to NSF a public report that summarizes the conference activities, attendance, and outcomes; describes scientific and/or technical challenges that remain to be overcome in the areas discussed during the conference; and identifies specific next steps to advance knowledge in the areas of natural hazards and extreme events that were considered during the conference. These reports will be made publicly available via the NSF website, and are intended to foster nascent interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary communities and to enable growth of new scientific directions. Use of the Information: NSF will use the information to understand and evaluate the outcomes of the conference, to foster growth of new scientific communities, and to evaluate the progress of the PREEVENTS program.
