Short Statement: This is an update of an information collection. The timeframe for credit unions to amend existing agreements with their CUSO is over, thus eliminating the initial burden of the rule as approved in 2008. The information collection requirements now are one-time obligations that help NCUA assure the continued safety and soundness of the industry. The rule also requires certain less than adequately capitalized FCUs to obtain NCUA's prior approval before re-capitalizing an insolvent CUSO.
