Abstract: Requirements of 12 CFR 740.3, Advertising of excess insurance, prescribes that federally insured credit unions must disclose in advertising the share or savings account insurance provided by a party other than NCUA. This disclosure statement must include the identity of the carrier, the type and amount of such insurance and must avoid any statement or implication that the carrier is affiliated with NCUA or the federal government. The disclosure requirements under § 740.3 are necessary to ensure that share account holders are aware that their accounts are insured by carriers other than the NCUA.

Type of Review: Reinstatement without change of a previously approved collection.

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

Estimated No. of Respondents: 300.

Estimated No. of Responses per Respondent: 1.

Estimated Annual Responses: 300.

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.
