SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Number: 3133-0185.
    Title: NCUA Vendor Registration Form.
    Form: NCUA 1772.
    Abstract: Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 
Consumer Protection Act (Act) (Pub. L. 111-203) calls for agencies to 
promote the inclusion of minority and women-owned firms in their 
business activities. The Act also requires agencies to annually report 
to Congress the total amounts paid to minority and women-owned 
businesses. In order for NCUA to comply with this Congressional 
mandate, NCUA 1772 is used to collect certain information from its 
current and potential vendors, so that it can identify businesses that 
meet the criteria. The vendor information is to be submitted to the 
agency on a one-time basis and will be used to assign an ownership 
status to the vendor (i.e., minority-owned business, woman-owned 
business) per the requirements of the Act. Once an ownership status is 
assigned to each vendor, NCUA will be able to calculate the total 
amounts of contracting dollars paid to minority-owned and women-owned 
businesses.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Affected Public: Private sector: Businesses and other for-profits.
    Estimated No. of Respondents: 1,000.
    Estimated No. of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated No. of Responses: 1,000.
    Estimated Hours per Response: 10 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 167.
    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 
performance 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 information collection, 
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 information 
collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of
