Abstract: Part 749 of the NCUA Regulations directs each credit union to have a vital records preservation program that includes procedures for maintaining duplicate vital records at a location far enough from the credit union's offices to avoid the simultaneous loss of both sets of records in the event of disaster. Part 749 also requires the program be in writing and include emergency contact information for employees, officials, regulatory offices, and vendors used to support vital records.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: NCUA has modified the cost basis for this estimate to focus on the record keeping labor cost of maintaining a records preservation program rather than the technology cost to store records offsite. This is the primary reason why the total annual burden has decreased, along with a decline in the number of FICUs from 8,420 to 6,753 and newly chartered FICUs from 15 to 5.
