Credit union directors and members need information to evaluate merger or insurance conversion on which they are to vote. NCUA needs information to fulfill its statutory responsibility to approve or disapprove the merger or conversion.
This is a reinstatement of a previously approved collection. The change in hour and cost burden is attributable to a decrease in the number of credit unions engaging in mergers and share insurance conversions and an increase in the estimated costs to credit unions and NCUA.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
