SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract and Request for Comments

NCUA is reinstating the collection for 3133-0114. The collection of information requirement is that those credit unions seeking an exemption from the nonmember deposit limit must adopt a specific written plan and submit their lending and investment policies, a copy of their latest financial statement, and an explanation of the request to the NCUA Regional Director. NCUA uses this information to determine whether a particular credit union will be granted an exemption to the limit on nonmember and public unit deposits. This collection of information is necessary to protect the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (“Fund”). There is no change to the burden hours from previous submissions.

The 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.
