SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract and Request for Comments

    NCUA is requesting an extension of the previously approved 
collection for 3133-0121. The Federal Credit Union (FCU) Act 
specifically requires all federally insured credit unions to notify 
NCUA at least 30 days prior to a change in official or senior executive 
officer if that credit union is newly chartered or in troubled 
condition. During that 30-day period, NCUA can disapprove the credit 
union's request. Since the last submission for 3133-0121, NCUA amended 
12 CFR 701.14 to redefine ``troubled condition'' in relation to 
federally insured state chartered credit unions (FISCUs). The revised 
rule redefines a FISCU in ``troubled condition'' to be not only when 
its state supervisory authority (SSA) assigns it a ``4'' or ``5'' 
composite code rating, but

[[Page 30499]]

also when either its SSA or NCUA assigns such a rating. Prior 
definitions of troubled credit unions did not include FISCUs rated a 
code 4 or 5 only by NCUA.
    The FCU Act requires notice from the insured credit union to 
include certain personal information about the individual to determine 
the individual's fitness for the position. NCUA regulation at 12 CFR 
701.14 implements Section 212. Section 701.14 requires that within 10 
calendar days of receiving the notice, the Regional Director must 
inform the credit union either that the notice is complete or that 
additional specified information is required to be submitted within 30 
calendar days. Additionally, this section requires the Regional 
Director or Director of Office of National Examinations and Supervision 
to issue a written decision of approval or disapproval to the 
individual and the credit union within 30 calendar days of receipt of 
the notice. Otherwise, the individual is approved. NCUA's regulation at 
12 CFR 741.205 requires federally insured state-chartered credit unions 
to follow section 701.14.
    NCUA's regulations at 12 CFR part 747 (subpart J) sets forth the 
rights an individual or a credit union may exercise and procedures to 
be followed in responding to a notice of disapproval by NCUA.
    NCUA's forms 4063 and 4063a provide a uniform method for credit 
unions and individuals to submit information to NCUA regarding changes 
to officials and senior executive officers. NCUA uses the information 
to determine an individual's fitness for the position.
    In the Federal Register of January 22, 2015 (80 FR 3255), NCUA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. NCUA received no comments.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.
    NCUA requests that you send your comments on the information 
collection requirements outlined by 12 CFR 701.14 to the locations 
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.
