Section 107(6) of the Federal Credit
Union Act (Act) and §701.32 of the NCUA Rules and Regulations (12
CFR part 701) may receive from public units and political
subdivisions and nonmember credit unions, payments on shares.
Limitations on nonmember and public unit deposits in federal credit
unions (FCUs) is 50 percent of the difference of paid-in and
unimpaired capital and surplus and any public unit and nonmember
shares, as measured at the time of acceptance of each public unit
or nonmember share. This collection of information is necessary to
protect the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund
(NCUSIF).
US Code:
12
USC 1757 Name of Law: Federal Credit Union Act
The rule amends § 701.32 to
eliminate the wavier requirements for those seeking an exemption to
the current 20 percent limit of the total amount of nonmember
shares that an FCU may issue; due to the proposed increased limit
of 50 percent, or $3 million, with no exceptions to this limit.
This program change will eliminate 40 burden hours. Under the
proposed rule, a credit union must develop a specific plan
regarding the intended use of any borrowings, public unit, or
nonmember shares that, taken together, exceed 70 percent of the
credit union’s paid-in and unimpaired capital and surplus. The
increased limit of public unit and nonmember shares could
potentially see an increase in the number of respondents required
to develop a plan from 20 to 50 FCUs at an estimated burden of 2
hours to comply annually, per respondent. This program change will
increase the burden by 60 burden hours; for a total of 100 burden
hours requested.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies

1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
