SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Number: 3133-0039.

Title: Borrowed Funds from Natural Persons, 12 CFR 701.38.

Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Abstract: Section 701.38 of the NCUA regulations grants federal credit unions the authority to borrow funds from a natural person as long as they maintain a signed promissory note which includes the terms and conditions of maturity, repayment, interest rate, method of computation and method of payment; and the promissory note and any advertisements for borrowing have clearly visible language stating that the note represents money borrowed by the credit union and does not represent shares and is not insured by the National Credit Union Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). NCUA will use this information to ensure a credit union's natural person borrowings are in compliance and address all regulatory and safety and soundness requirements.

Affected Public: Private Sector: Not-for-profit institutions.

Estimated No. of Respondents: 187.

Estimated Annual Frequency: 1.

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 187.

Estimated Annual Responses per Respondent: 0.167.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 31.

Reason for Change: Review of the previously reported burden has been adjusted to only account for burden that falls under the PRA. Regulatory burden has been removed. A reduction of 904 burden hours is due to this adjustment. A total of 31 burden hours is requested.

OMB Number: 3133-0129.

Title: Corporate Credit Union, 12 CFR part 704.

Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Abstract: Part 704 of NCUA's regulations established the regulatory framework for corporate credit unions. This includes various reporting and recordkeeping requirements as well as safety and soundness standards. NCUA has established and regulates corporate credit unions pursuant to its authority under sections 120, 201, and 209 of the Federal Credit Union Act, 12 U.S.C. 1766(a), 1781, and 1789. The collection of information is necessary to ensure that corporate credit unions operate in a safe and sound manner by limiting risk to their natural person credit union members and the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund.

Affected Public: Private Sector: Not-for-profit institutions.

Estimated No. of Respondents: 11.

Estimated Annual Frequency: 20.18.

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 222.

Estimated Annual Responses per Respondent: 2.40.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 534.

Reason for Change: The adjustment in the number of respondents are due to the decrease in the number of Corporate Credit Unions from 12 to 11 and the inclusion of information collection requirements that had been omitted on the previous submission. These adjustments increase the total burden request by 51 hours, for a total of 534 burden hours requested.

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.
