83624 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 246 / Tuesday, December 22, 2020 / Notices 

and in accordance with the provisions 

of the Antideficiency Act, as amended 

by Public Law 101–508, 104 Stat. 1388 

(31 U.S.C. 1341), the OFR announces 

special procedures for agencies 

submitting documents for publication in 

the Federal Register. 

In the event of an appropriations 

lapse, the OFR would be required to 

publish documents directly related to 

the performance of governmental 

functions necessary to address 

imminent threats to the safety of human 

life or protection of property and 

documents related to funded programs 

if delaying publication until the end of 

the appropriations lapse would prevent 

or significantly damage the execution of 

funded functions at the agency. Since it 

would be impracticable for the OFR to 

make case-by-case determinations as to 

whether certain documents are directly 

related to activities that qualify for an 

exemption under the Antideficiency 

Act, the OFR will place responsibility 

on agencies submitting documents to 

certify that their documents are 

authorized under the Act. 

During a funding hiatus affecting one 

or more Federal agencies, the OFR will 

remain open to accept and process 

documents authorized to be published 

in the daily Federal Register in the 

absence of continuing appropriations. 

An agency wishing to submit a 

document to the OFR during a funding 

hiatus must attach a transmittal letter to 

the document which certifies that 

publication in the Federal Register is 

necessary: 

Unfunded Agencies or Programs 

• To safeguard human life, protect 

property, or 

• Provide other emergency services 

consistent with the performance of 

functions and services exempted under 

the Antideficiency Act. 

Funded Agencies or Programs 

• Because delaying publication until 

the end of the appropriations lapse 

would prevent or significantly damage 

the execution of funded functions at the 

agency. 

Under the August 16, 1995 opinion of 

the Office of Legal Counsel of the 

Department of Justice (OLC), 

Government Operations in the Event of 

a Lapse in Appropriations, exempt 

functions and services would include 

activities such as those related to the 

constitutional duties of the President, 

food and drug inspection, air traffic 

control, responses to natural or 

manmade disasters, law enforcement 

and supervision of financial markets. 

Documents related to normal or routine 

activities of Federal agencies, even if 

funded under prior year appropriations, 

will not be published. 

In another opinion issued on 

December 13, 1995, Effect of 

Appropriations for Other Agencies and 

Branches on the Authority to Continue 

Department of Justice Functions During 

the Lapse in the Department’s 

Appropriations, the OLC found that the 

necessary-implication exception 

allowed unfunded agencies to provide 

support to funded agencies or programs 

under certain conditions. Based on OLC 

interpretation of the December 12, 1995 

opinion, as this applies to the OFR, if an 

agency with current appropriations 

submits a document for publication and 

certifies that delaying publication until 

the end of the appropriations lapse 

would prevent or significantly damage 

the execution of funded functions at the 

agency, then publication in the Federal 

Register will be a function or service 

excepted under the Anti-Deficiency Act. 

At the onset of a funding hiatus, the 

OFR may suspend the regular three-day 

publication schedule to permit a limited 

number of exempt personnel to process 

emergency documents. Agency officials 

will be informed as to the schedule for 

filing and publishing individual 

documents. 

OFR has posted frequently asked 

questions and transmittal letter 

templates on the following website, 

which will be updated as possible: 

https://www.archives.gov/federalregister/the-federal-register/shutdownfaqs. 

Authority: The authority for this action is 

44 U.S.C. 1502 and 1 CFR 2.4 and 5.1.

Director of the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Number: 3133–0067. 

Title: Corporate Credit Union Monthly 

Call Report and Annual Report of 

Officers. 

Form: NCUA 5310. 

Abstract: Section 202(a)(1) of the 

Federal Credit Union Act (Act) requires 

federally insured credit unions to make 

reports of condition to the NCUA Board 

upon dates selected by it. Corporate 

credit unions report this information 

monthly on NCUA Form 5310, also 

known as the Corporate Credit Union 

Call Report. The financial and statistical 

information is essential to NCUA in 

carrying out its responsibility for 

supervising corporate credit unions. The 

Federal Credit Union Act, 12 U.S.C. 

1762, specifically requires federal credit 

unions to report the identity of credit 

union officials. Section 741.6(a) requires 

federally-insured credit unions to 

submit a Report of Officials annually to 

NCUA containing the annual 

certification of compliance with security 

requirements. The branch information is 

requested under the authority of § 741.6 

of the NCUA Rules and Regulations. 

NCUA utilizes the information to 

monitor financial conditions in 

corporate credit unions and to allocate 

supervision and examination resources. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Private Sector: Notfor-profit institutions. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 539. 

OMB Number: 3133–0186. 

Title: Higher-Risk Mortgage 

Appraisals. 

Abstract: Section 1471 of the DoddFrank Act established Truth in Lending 

section 129H, which contains appraisal 

requirements applicable to higher-risk 

mortgages and prohibits a creditor from 

extending credit in the form of a higherrisk mortgage loan to any consumer 

without meeting those requirements. A 

higher-risk mortgage is defined as a 

residential mortgage loan secured by a 

principal dwelling with an annual 

percentage rate that exceeds the average 

prime offer rate for a comparable 

transaction as of the date the interest 

rate is set by certain enumerated 

percentage point spreads. To implement 

this statutory requirement, a final rule 

was promulgated to amend 12 CFR part 

1026, Regulation Z. 

The recordkeeping and disclosure 

requirements prescribed under 

§ 1026.35 are necessary to protect 

consumers, and promote the safety and 

soundness of creditors making higherrisk mortgage loans. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Private Sector: Notfor-profit institutions. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 276.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Fair Credit Reporting (FCRA). 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The Fair Credit Reporting 

Act (FCRA) (15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.) sets 

standards for the collection, 

communication, and use of information 

bearing on a consumer’s 

creditworthiness, credit standing, credit 

capacity, character, general reputation, 

personal characteristics, or mode of 

living. FCRA has been revised 

numerous times since it took effect, 

notably by passage of the Consumer 

Credit Reporting Reform Act of 1996, 

the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, 

and the Fair and Accurate Credit 

Transactions Act of 2003. 

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform 

and Consumer Protection Act (DFA) 

amended a number of consumer 

financial protection laws, including 

most provisions of FCRA. In addition to 

substantive amendments, the DFA 

transferred rulemaking authority for
