    Title: Production of Non-public Records and Testimony of Employees 
in Legal Proceedings (Touhy Request).
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: 12 CFR part 792, subpart C requires anyone requesting 
NCUA non-public records for use in legal proceedings, or similarly the 
testimony of NCUA personnel, to provide NCUA with information regarding 
the requester's grounds for the request. This process is also known as 
a ``Touhy Request''. The information collected will help NCUA decide 
whether to release non-public records or permit employees to testify in 
legal proceedings. NCUA regulations also require an entity or person in 
possession of NCUA records to notify the NCUA upon receipt of a 
subpoena for those records. The NCUA requires this notice to protect 
its records and, when necessary, intervene in litigation or file an 
objection to the disclosure of its confidential information in the 
appropriate court or tribunal.
    Affected Public: Private Sector: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 80.

Union Administration, on October 2, 2019.
