SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Number: 3133-0059.
    Title: Supervisory Committee Audits and Verifications.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Title 12 CFR part 715 prescribes the responsibilities of 
the supervisory committee to obtain an audit of the credit union and 
verification of member accounts as outlined in Section 115 of the 
Federal Credit Union Act, 12 U.S.C. 1761d. A supervisory committee 
audit is required at least once every calendar year covering the period 
since the last audit and to conduct a verification of members' accounts 
not less frequently than once every two years. The information is used 
by both the credit union and the NCUA to ensure through audit testing 
that the credit union's assets, liabilities, equity, income, and 
expenses exist, are properly valued, controlled and meet ownership, 
disclosure and classification requirements of sound financial 
reporting. A written report on the audit must be made to the board of 
directors and, if requested, NCUA. Working papers must be maintained 
and made available to NCUA. Independence requirements must be met; 
standards governing verifications and the methods used to verify 
member's passbooks and accounts are set forth. Section 741.202 makes 
these requirements applicable to federally insured state-chartered 
credit unions.
    Affected Public: Private Sector: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated No. of Respondents: 5,308.
    Estimated Annual Frequency: 4.16.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 22,086.
    Estimated Average Hours: 0.57.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 12,549.
    Reason for Change: Adjustments are due to the decline in the number 
of FICUs due to industry consolidation from mergers and liquidations; 
the time per response was reduced to remove the regulatory burden 
reported under the PRA to only reflect the information collection 
burden associated with a recordkeeping requirement, and capture a 
disclosure requirement not previously reported.
    By Gerard Poliquin, Secretary of the Board, the National Credit 
Union Administration, on October 11, 2019.

    Dated: October 11, 2019.

NCUA PRA Clearance Officer.
