Dodd Frank Act amended sec. 308 of the
FIRREA to require NCUA, Office of the Comptroller of Currency, and
the Federal Reserve Board to establish a program to comply with its
goals to preserve and encourage Minority Depository Institutions
(MDIs). The NCUA Board issued Interpretive Ruling and Policy
Statement (IRPS) 13-1 establishing a MDI preservation program to
comply with FIRREA § 308 goals. The IRPS identifies the procedure
for a federally insured credit union to determine and document its
ability to designate itself as a MDI, resulting in the ability to
participate in the Program.
A reduction of 42 hours is
attributed to the following program changes: (1) At the time of the
publication of IRPS 13-1, the asset threshold used to define the
term “small entity” was less than $50 million. NCUA published IRPS
15-1 which increased the asset threshold from $50 million to $100
million. Accordingly, the number of credit unions required to
retain records of their minority composition would theoretically
increase because more credit unions would fall under the small
entity threshold; but, with the decline in the number of credit
unions since the previous submission, a reduction in the number
respondents is being reported. (2) The burden hours associated with
appeals due to the denial of MDI certification, have been removed
from this ICR. Procedures that govern appeals to the Board have
been codified as subpart B to part 746 and associated burden is
being consolidated under OMB control number 3133-0198. Adjustments
has been made to remove the reporting burden of MDI status via the
CU Online portal. This is duplicative to information provided on
the Call Report and has been removed from this collection. A total
of 30 burden hours is requested.
