    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: Title 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 No. of Respondents: 20.
    Estimated No. of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 20.
    Estimated Burden Hours per Response: 5.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 100.
    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.

Credit Union Administration, on September 21, 2022.
