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 unionâs 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.
