The FCU Act and Bylaws require new and
current FCU to prepare and maintain documents, such as organization
certificate, charter, notices, meeting minutes, and election
results, and notify the NCUA Board of certain changes. FCU's use
the information they collect and maintain pursuant to their bylaws
in their operations and to provide services to members. NCUA uses
the information both to regulate the safety and soundness of FCU
and protect the National Credit Union Share Insurance
Fund.
The proposal will amend
information collection requirements under several articles to
encourage greater participation by members by requiring FCU to post
annual meeting notices in a conspicuous place and in the FCU’s
physical location, publicize the call for nominations to all
members, and post this information on FCU website along with the
bylaws and any adopting amendments to their website, if applicable.
As a result of these disclosure requirements, there is an increase
of 8,810 burden hours due to the proposed program changes.
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.
