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).
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.
