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) 19-1 prescribes the information collection contained therein, implement the requirements of the FCU Act.
The NCUA is proposing to expand the current de minimis exceptions to reduce the scope and number of offenses that would require an application (NCUA Form 3250) to the Board. Some of those that would have previously provided a Form 3250 under IRPS 08-1, are now required to document in their files that an application is not required because the offense is considered de minimis and meets the criteria for the exception. This proposed IRPS would reduce the total number of applications from three to one, with a total reduction of 3.5 burden hours for a total of 3 burden hours requested.
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).

(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;
