Abstract: Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Act) instructed each agency Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) director to develop standards for assessing the diversity policies and practices of entities regulated by each agency. The Agencies worked together to develop joint standards and publish a policy statement in the Federal Register. The Policy Statement contains a collection of information. The NCUA 15004, "Annual Voluntary Credit Union Diversity Self-Assessment," can be used by federally insured credit unions to perform their assessment and to submit information to NCUA.

Short Statement: The NCUA estimates that the average response time per respondent is 8 hours. At the time of the approval of the original collection, the Agencies joint estimate of the time per response per respondent was 12 hours. The NCUA has re-evaluated its estimates and has determined that the burden on the credit union will be reduced by a total of 1,300 hours by the redesign of the form. An adjustment in the number of respondents is also being made to reflect reduction in the number of credit unions reporting from 367 to 325; for a total adjustment of 504 burden hours. A total of 2,600 burden hours is requested.
