Abstract: Part 725 contains the regulations implementing the
National Credit Union Central Liquidity Facility Act, subchapter III of
the Federal Credit Union Act. The NCUA Central Liquidity Facility is a
mixed-ownership Government corporation within NCUA. It is managed by
the NCUA Board and is owned by its member credit unions. The purpose of
the Facility is to improve the general financial stability of credit
unions by meeting their liquidity needs and thereby encourage savings,
support consumer and mortgage lending and provide basic financial
resources to all segments of the economy. The Central Liquidity
Facility achieves this purpose through operation of a Central Liquidity
Fund (CLF). The collection of information under this part is necessary
for the CLF to determine credit worthiness, as required by 12 U.S.C
1795e(2).

Estimated No. of Respondents: 5.
Estimated No. of Responses per Respondent: 4.

OMB Number: 3133-0133.
Title: Investments and Deposit Activities, 12 CFR part 703.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Federal
Credit Union Act, 12 U.S.C. 1757(7), 1757(8), 1757(15), lists
securities, deposits, and other obligations in which a Federal Credit
Union (FCU) may invest. The regulations related to these areas are
contained in Part 703 and Section 721.3 of the NCUA Rules and
Regulations which set forth requirements related to maintaining an
adequate investment program. The information collected is used by the
NCUA to determine compliance with the appropriate sections of the NCUA
Rules and Regulations and Federal Credit Union Act, which governs
investment and deposit activities on the basis of safety and soundness
concerns. It is used to determine the level of risk that exists within
a credit union, the actions taken by the credit union to mitigate such
risk, and helps prevent losses to federal credit unions and the
National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF).

burden previously identified as information collection burden, and
amended some activities under this part that reported no activity since
the last reporting cycle.
OMB Number: 3133-0182.
Title: Bank Conversions and Mergers, 12 CFR part 708a.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Part 708a of NCUA's Rules and Regulations covers the
conversion of federally insured credit unions (credit unions) to mutual
savings banks (MSBs) and mergers of credit unions into both mutual and
stock banks (banks). Part 708a requires credit unions that intend to
convert to MSBs or merge into banks to provide notice and disclosure of
their intent to convert or merge to their members and NCUA, and to
conduct a membership vote. In addition, Subpart C requires credit
unions that intend to merge into banks to determine the merger value of
the credit union. The information collection allows NCUA to ensure
compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements for conversions
and mergers and ensures that members of credit unions have sufficient
and accurate information to exercise an informed vote concerning a
proposed conversion or merger.
Affected Public: Private Sector: Not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 1.
Estimated No. of Responses per Respondent: 13.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 13.
Estimated Burden Hours per Response: 30.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 391.
Reason for Change: Adjustments are being made to provide an update-
to-date reporting of activities under this part.
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.
