Abstract: Amendments to 12 CFR 702 (October 29, 2015; 80 FR 66626), regarding prompt corrective action (PCA), require that credit unions taking certain risks hold capital commensurate with those risks. This final rule restructures the NCUA’s PCA regulations and makes various revisions, including amending the agency’s current risk-based net worth requirement by replacing it with a new risk-based capital requirement for complex credit unions. The risk-based capital provisions of this final rule apply only to federally insured, natural-person credit unions (credit unions) with assets greater than $100 million. Section 216(d) of the Act (12 U.S.C. 1790d (d)) addresses the risk-based net worth requirement for complex credit unions. Accordingly, §702.103 defines “complex” and the risk-based capital requirement is applicable only if the credit union’s quarter-end total assets are greater than $100 million. Section 702.101(b) requires that a credit union defined as complex has a process for assessing its overall capital adequacy in relation to its risk profile and a comprehensive written strategy for maintaining an appropriate level of capital. The NCUA will use the information to ensure a credit union’s capital is sufficient given its risk profile.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There has been a slight increase to the number of respondents from what was reported at the time of the proposal. An increase of 34 credit unions is due to the increase of their assets size, which are now identified as complex. The proposal also included burden assigned to non-complex credit unions. This burden has been removed because this information collection requirement only applies to complex credit unions. No burden is imposed on non-complex credit unions. A reduction of 101,980 burden hours is attributed to this adjustment.
