SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Number: 3133-0004.
Title: NCUA Call Report.
Form: NCUA Form 5300.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Sections 106 and 202 of the Federal Credit Union Act
require federally insured credit unions to make financial reports to
the NCUA. Section 741.6 prescribes the method in which federally
insured credit unions must submit this information to NCUA. NCUA Form
5300, Call Report, is used to file quarterly financial and statistical
data and are reported through NCUA's online portal, Credit Unions
Online.
The financial and statistical information is essential to NCUA in
carrying out its responsibility for supervising federal credit unions.
The information also enables NCUA to monitor all federally insured
credit unions with National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF)
insured share accounts.
Affected Public: Private Sector: Not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 5,335.
Estimated No. of Responses per Respondent: 4.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 21,340.
Estimated Burden Hours per Response: 4.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 85,360.
OMB Number: 3133-NEW.
Title: NCUA Profile.
Form: NCUA Form 4501A.
Type of Review: New collection.
Abstract: Sections 106 and 202 of the Federal Credit Union Act
require federally insured credit unions to make
[[Page 39378]]
financial reports to the NCUA. Section 741.6 prescribes the method in
which federally insured credit unions must submit this information to
NCUA. NCUA Form 4501A, Credit Union Profile, is used to obtain non-
financial data relevant to regulation and supervision such as the names
of senior management and volunteer officials, and are reported through
NCUA's online portal, Credit Unions Online.
The financial and statistical information is essential to NCUA in
carrying out its responsibility for supervising federal credit unions.
The information also enables NCUA to monitor all federally insured
credit unions with National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF)
insured share accounts.
Affected Public: Private Sector: Not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 5,335.
Estimated No. of Responses per Respondent: 4.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 21,340.
Estimated Burden Hours per Response: 2.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 42,480.
Reason for Change: Currently, the NCUA Call Report (Form 5300) and
Profile (4501A) are cleared under OMB control number 3133-0004. At this
time, NCUA plans to separate the two forms due to technology resources
constraints that create different revision cycles. The Call Report will
retain OMB control number 3133-0004 and NCUA will request a new control
number for the Profile.
Call Report: Revisions are attributed to the issuance of accounting
standards codifications (ASC) by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board and other revisions needed to clarify the reporting for cash
items. These revisions will not alter the estimated burden hours
necessary to review the instructions and complete the filing. The
amount of data elements removed compared to those added negates the
difference in burden.
The burden hours reflect an adjustment to the number of respondents
due to the decline in the number of federally insured credit unions,
which has averaged approximately one percent per quarter. Specifically,
the number of federally insured credit unions completing the Call
Report dropped from 5,530 at March 31, 2018 to 5,335 at March 31, 2019.
A decrease of 195 credit unions for a total reduction in burden hours
of 47,360, partially due to the decline in credit unions (3,120 hours)
and partially due to removal of the Profile burden (44,240 hours).
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.
By Gerard Poliquin, Secretary of the Board, the National Credit
Union Administration, on August 5, 2019.
Dated: August 5, 2019.

NCUA PRA Clearance Officer.
