Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic is extremely unique in that a credit union’s status could deteriorate rapidly and it is important for us to determine the unique challenges each credit union is facing and how we as the insurer can provide assistance (e.g., liquidity related, partnering with other credit unions for operational items, etc.). Absent this data collection, we would be forced to rely on 5300 Call Report data where the outcomes of this pandemic would not reveal themselves for 6-9 months, which would result in a very reactive, impractical supervision approach. The information collected coupled with 5300 Call Report data and economic reports, will allow us to prioritize our workload to ensure we devote our resources to the credit unions posing the greatest risk to the insurance fund.

Emergency Justfication: Pursuant to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) procedures established at 5 CFR 1320, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) requests an OMB emergency review and approval by April 27, 2020, for the attached information collection titled “Outreach and Data Collection Related to COVID-19 Impact.” The NCUA has determined that: (1) The collection of information is needed prior to the time period established under 5 CFR Part 1320; (2) The collection of information is essential to the mission of the agency to effectively respond to events caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; and (3) The NCUA cannot reasonably comply with normal clearance procedures under 5 CFR Part 1320. Moreover, immediate clearance will help to ensure credit unions remain operational and liquid for the duration of the economic disruption stemming from the threat posed by the Novel (new) Coronavirus (“2019-nCoV”). Therefore, NCUA requests an emergency approval of this collection. Given the inability to seek public comment during such a short timeframe, NCUA requests a waiver from the requirement to publish a notice in the Federal Register seeking public comment during the period of OMB review. To avoid any substantial delay, NCUA will publish a separate notice and seek public comment within a reasonable period after the approval to collect this information.
