All Federally insured credit unions are required to report, within thirty calendar days, all suspected criminal activities to the U.S. Attorney, and the FBI and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, by completing NCUA form 2362. This requirement provides for timely and specific information needed for decisions regarding prosecution.
The decrease in the estimated number of respondents is due to the decrease in the total number of credit unions. The increase in the total number of responses is due to the credit unions' increased awareness of the requirement of when to file a SAR, as well as improved suspicious activity monitoring systems. The total number of SARs filed by credit unions increased dramatically over the past few years, thus the 56,500 estimated responses is based upon an estimated increase over the number of SARs filed by credit unions in 2007.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
