Section 107(5) of the Federal Credit Union Act authorizes Federal Credit Unions (FCU) to make loans to members and issue lines of credit (including credit cards) to members. Section 701.21 governs the requirements related to loans to members and lines of credit to members for FCUs. Additionally, Part 741 established requirements for all federally insured credit unions (both Federal and state charters) related to loans to members and lines of credit union members. NCUA reviews the information collections to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and laws, and to assess the safety and soundness of the credit unionâs lending program.
The NCUA amends Appendix B of Part 741 by removing the prohibition on the capitalization of interest in connection with loan workouts and modifications and to allow FICUs to capitalize unpaid interest when working with borrowers. Currently, all FICUs are required to retain and maintain a written loan policy; of which 500 FICUs are estimated to take four hours annually to retain and maintain enhanced records related to loan workout activity. NCUA anticipates a 50 percent increase in the number of these respondents due to the amendment. This revision would increase the information collection requirements by 2,000 burden hours. A total of 23,584 burden hours requested.
