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.
