    Title: Organization and Operations of Federal Credit Unions--Loan

    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: NCUA rules and regulations, Sec. Sec.  701.22 and 
741.225, outline the requirements for a loan participation program. 
Federally Insured Credit Unions (FICU) are required to execute a 
written loan participation agreement with the lead lender. 
Additionally, the rule requires all FICUs to maintain a loan 
participation policy that establishes underwriting standards and 
maximum concentration limits. Credit unions may apply for waivers on 
certain key provisions of the rule.
    Affected Public: Private Sector: Not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated No. of Respondents: 1,876.
    Estimated Annual Frequency: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 3,762.
    Estimated Annual Responses per Respondent: 0.80
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,010.
    Reason for Change: Adjustments are being made to the number of 
respondents to reflect the current number of credit unions affected and 
a more accurate assignment of burden per response.
    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 
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.
