Sections 106 and 202 of the Federal Credit Union Act require federally insured credit unions (FICUs) to make financial reports to the NCUA. Section 741.6 of the NCUA Rules and Regulations requires all FICUs to submit a Call Report (NCUA Form 5300) quarterly. Financial information collected through the Call Report is essential to NCUA supervision of federal credit unions. This information also facilitates NCUA monitoring of other credit unions with share accounts insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF).

Currently, the NCUA Call Report (Form 5300) and Profile (Form 4501A) are cleared under OMB Control Number 3133-0004. At this time NCUA plans to separate the two forms due to technology resources constraints that create different revision cycles. This Call Report will retain the 3133-0004 OMB control number and NCUA will request a new control number for the Profile; for a program change of -43,000 burden hours.
The burden identified under OMB No. 3133-0004, prior to this separation, was estimated at 6 hours per response. With this submission, it is estimated that 4 hours is allotted to complete the Call Report and 2 hours is allotted to complete the Profile.
Revisions are attributed to the issuance of accounting standards codifications (ASC) by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other revisions needed to clarify the reporting for cash items, Public Unit deposits, and Payday Alternative Loans (PALs I and PALs II). These revisions will not alter the estimated burden hours necessary to review the instructions and complete the form. The amount of data elements removed compared to those added negates the difference in burden.
This submission also reflects adjustment due to the decline in the number of federally insured credit unions due to industry consolidation from mergers and liquidations. Specifically, the number of federally insured credit unions completing the Call Report dropped from 5,335 to 5,308; a total adjustment of -1,072 burden hours.
