Abstract: The form asks for basic information from vendors interested in doing business with the agency. This information allows NCUA to provide Congress with required reports on contracts with minority-owned and women-owned firms.

Emergency Justfication: Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act) requires certain federal regulatory agencies to annually report the contract amounts paid to vendors that are minority-owned and women-owned. NCUA has designed the Vendor Registration Form (VRF) as its sole mechanism to be able to capture the type of information required for compliance with the Act. Since the act is already in force and Congress has already required and received the first Report to Congress from the various regulatory agencies, obtaining emergency approval of this form will enable NCUA to immediately start capturing information from vendors on a consistent basis for the purpose of meeting the requirements of this Congressional mandate.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Vendor Registration Form (VRF) provides vendors with an efficient, quick and simple vehicle to communicate their business interests to NCUA. The form also significantly reduces a vendor's burden by avoiding a lengthy an unnecessary registration process in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and, instead, allows vendors to provide limited, voluntary, readily available vendor information in a quick and simple manner. Most importantly, the VRF is the most efficient mechanism for NCUA to capture vendor information that is essential to responding to Congress in meeting the reporting requirements of Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Act.
