Section 216 of the Federal Credit
Union Act (12 U.S.C. §1790d) mandates prompt corrective action
(PCA) requirements for federally insured credit unions (FICUs) that
become less than well capitalized. Section 216 requires the NCUA
Board to (1) adopt, by regulation, a system of prompt corrective
action to restore the net worth of inadequately capitalized FICUs;
and (2) develop an alternative system of prompt corrective action
for new credit unions that carries out the purpose of PCA while
allowing an FICU reasonable time to build its net worth to an
adequately capitalized level. Part 702 implements the statutory
requirements. The purpose of prompt corrective action is to resolve
the problems of FICUs at the least possible long-term loss to the
National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF).

USC 1790(d) Name of Law: Federal Credit Union Act
This is an emergency request
for revision of a currently approved collection. The amendment to
§702.201 is decreasing the earnings retention requirement for all
FICUs that are classified as adequately capitalized during this
time. Currently, FICUs must request a waiver for each quarterly
transfer made from undivided earning to its regular reserve account
until well capitalized. By the actions of this rule the waiver
requirement is temporary suspended for adequately capitalized
credit unions and the information collection requirement will be
reduced from 113 respondents providing three waivers annually to 23
respondents. Section 702.206 provides that a FICU that is less than
adequately capitalized must submit an applicable NWRP to the NCUA.
The temporary rule allows a FICU that becomes undercapitalized to
submit a significantly simpler NWRP to NCUA, which will reduce the
estimated burden associated with the preparation from 27 hours to 2
hours. This would affect an estimated 31 FICUs that would fall
under the category of undercapitalized. These temporary amendments
will reduce the number of estimated responses from 482 to 155, with
a decrease in the estimated total burden hours by 2,851, for a
total information collection burden of 569 hours.
