SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Number: 3133-0195.
    Title: Minority Depository Institution Preservation Program.
    Abstract: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection 
Act (Dodd-Frank Act) (Pub. L. 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376) amended 
Financial Institution Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) 
Sec.  308 to require the 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 Sec.  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.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Private Sector: Not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated No. of Respondents: 71.
    Estimated Annual Frequency: 1.08.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 77.
    Estimated Burden Hours per Response: 0.62.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 48.
    Reason for Change: A change in the asset threshold used to define 
the term ``small entity'' increase from the previous PRA approval, 
which increased the number of credit unions that fell under the ``small 
entity'' threshold definition; but because the

decline in the number of credit unions, a reduction in the number of 
respondents is being reported. Adjustments are also being made to 
remove duplicative burden associated the reporting of MDI status.
    Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice 
will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management 
and Budget approval. All comments will become a matter of public 
record. The public is invited to submit comments concerning: (a) 
Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper 
execution of the function of the agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information, 
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
the information on the respondents, including the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Union Administration, on November 1, 2017.

    Dated: November 1, 2017.
