This information collection is
required under Section 205(d) of the Federal Credit Union Act (FCU
Act) to allow the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board
to make an informed decision whether to grant a waiver of the
prohibition imposed by law under Section 205(d) of the FCU Act.
Section 205(d) of the FCU Act prohibits a person who has been
convicted of any criminal offense involving dishonesty or breach of
trust, or who has entered into a pretrial diversion or similar
program in connection with a prosecution for such offense, from
participating in the affairs of a federally-insured credit union
except with the prior written consent of the NCUA Board. The
Interpretive Ruling and Policy Statement (IRPS) 08-1 prescribes the
information collection contained therein, implement the
requirements of the FCU Act.
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), the National Credit Union
Administration (NCUA) requests emergency consideration for the use
of NCUA Form 3250, “Application to Request Consent Pursuant to
Section 205(d),” prescribed by Interpretive Ruling and Policy
Statement (IRPS) 08-1, Guidance Regarding Prohibitions Imposed by
Section 205(d) of the Federal Credit Union Act. On April 4, 2008 ,
the NCUA issued proposed IRPS 08-1, in the Federal Register.
Section 205(d) of the Federal Credit Union Act prohibits, without
the prior written consent of the NCUA Board, a person convicted of
any criminal offense involving dishonesty or breach of trust, or
who has entered into a pretrial diversion or similar program in
connection with a prosecution for such offense, from becoming or
continuing as an institution-affiliated party, or otherwise
participating, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of the
affairs of an insured credit union. NCUA Form 3250 was developed to
request consent under this IRPS. The 2008 proposed IRPS did include
a PRA statement outlining the proposed application requirements,
set out the information collection burden, and provided for public
comments. The IRPS was subsequently published as final on August
19, 2008 , which included a copy of the final Application. Actions
currently underway to revise this IRPS has led to discover that a
PRA action to obtain approval for the use of this Application was
not completed for the 2008 IRPS. In order to ensure compliance
under the PRA and to avoid substantial delays to the upcoming
proposed amendments to IRPS 08-1, the NCUA is requesting emergency
consideration at this time.
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);
