SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract and request for comments

NCUA is amending/reinstating the collection for 3133-0067. The Federal Credit Union Act, 12 U.S.C. 1782(a)(1), requires federally insured credit unions to make reports of condition to the NCUA Board upon dates the Board selects. NCUA collects the financial and statistical information on a monthly basis and uses it to monitor financial and statistical trends in corporate credit unions and to allocate examination and supervision resources. If this information was not collected, NCUA would not be able to effectively fulfill its primary mission of regulating and supervising credit unions. The burden on the industry continues to decline as a result of mergers of corporate credit unions.

NCUA requests that you send your comments on this 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.
