Abstract: The Federal Credit Union (FCU) Act of 1970 (12 U.S.C. 1752) established the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) as an independent agency, in control of regulating and supervising Federal credit unions. This mission requires coordination and collaboration with credit unions, other Federal agencies, and consumers to provide a safe and sound credit union system. As part of its collaboration efforts, the NCUA receives requests annually for NCUA leadership and staff to participate in speaking engagements at various events. This digital collection of information is necessary to ensure an efficient and timely process to schedule outreach and engagement with NCUA stakeholders. As a result of the requests received for speaking engagements, the NCUA has developed two forms, (1) the Speaker Request Form and, (2) the Chairman Request Form; and is requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new information collection. The forms collect information regarding the requested speaking engagement to include, the host organization, the speaking topic, agenda, and additional event details. The information is used to determine if accepting the request will further NCUA's mission.

Affected Public: Private and Public Sectors: NCUA Stakeholders potentially including credit unions and credit union organizations, other Federal and state agencies, and consumers groups.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 152.

Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 152.

Estimated Hours per Response: 0.25.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 38.

Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB 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.
