involved. If time constraints do not permit all 

appeals to be adjudicated within the above 

time frames, the Committee will adjudicate 

material supervisory determination appeals 

before appeals of TAG reimbursement 

denials regardless of the order in which the 

Committee received the appeals. 

Committee decisions on the denial of a 

TAG reimbursement are the final decisions of 

NCUA and are not appealable to the NCUA 

Board. If a RegFlex revocation is the basis of 

the appeal, the credit union may appeal the 

Committee’s decision to the NCUA Board 

within 60 days from the appellant’s receipt 

of the Committee’s decision. All other 

appealable decisions must be appealed to the 

NCUA Board within 30 days of the 

appellant’s receipt by the party of the 

Committee’s decision. 

B—Other Appeals 

Procedures for various formal and informal 

adjudicative and non-adjudicative actions 

and proceedings not covered by the 

Supervisory Review Committee are found in 

Parts 709 (creditor claim appeals), 745 (share 

insurance appeals), 792 (Freedom of 

Information Act appeals) and 747 (appeals of 

various administrative and enforcement 

actions) of the NCUA Rules and Regulations 

(12 CFR 709, 745, 792, and 747). These parts 

should be reviewed to determine the 

procedures which apply for a particular 

appeal. In addition, the NCUA Board serves 

as the final administrative decision maker for 

major disputes that are not otherwise covered 

by this IRPS or Parts 709, 745, 792 or 747. 

These include disputes over chartering, 

insurance applications, field of membership 

expansion, merger, certain corporate credit 

union matters, charter changes and letters of 

understanding and agreement. These issues 

should first be pursued through the 

appropriate Regional Office or the Office of 

Corporate Credit Unions. Appeals concerning 

these matters should be addressed to the 

NCUA Board and submitted through the 

appropriate Regional Office or the Office of 

Corporate Credit Unions. 

C—Retaliation 

Alleged acts of retaliation should be 

reported to NCUA’s Inspector General, who 

is authorized by Congress, under the 

Inspector General Act, to receive and 

investigate complaints and other information 

regarding abuse in agency programs and 

operations. 

Any retaliation by NCUA staff against a 

credit union making any type of appeal will 

subject the employee to appropriate 

disciplinary or remedial action by the 

appropriate supervisor. Such disciplinary or 

remedial action may include oral or written 

warning or admonishment, reprimand, 

suspension or separation from employment, 

change in assigned duties, or disqualification 

from a particular assignment, including 

prohibition from participating in any 

examination of the credit union that was the 

subject of the retaliation.

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The National Endowment for 

the Arts, as part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, conducts a preclearance 

consultation program to provide the 

general public and Federal agencies 

with an opportunity to comment on 

proposed and/or continuing collections 

of information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(A)]. This 

program helps ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the 

National Endowment for the Arts, on 

behalf of the Federal Council on the 

Arts and the Humanities, is soliciting 

comments concerning renewal of the 

Application for Domestic Indemnity. A 

copy of this collection request can be 

obtained by contacting the office listed 

below in the address section of this 

notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

address section below on or before April 

1, 2011. The National Endowment for 

the Arts is particularly interested in 

comments which: 

—Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

—Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

—Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

—Minimize the burden of the collection 

of information on those who are to 

respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms 

of information technology, e.g., 

permitting the electronic submissions 

of responses.
