SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Number: 3133-NEW.
Title: Succession Planning, 12 CFR 701.4(e).
Type of Review: New collection.
Abstract: The NCUA Board (Board) proposes that Federal Credit Union
(FCU) boards of directors establish and adhere to processes for
succession planning. The succession plans will help to ensure that the
credit union has plans to fill key positions, such as officers of the
board, management officials, executive committee members, supervisory
committee members, and (where provided for in the bylaws) the members
of the credit committee to provide continuity of operations. In
addition, the proposed rule would require directors to be knowledgeable
about the FCU's succession plan. Although the proposed rule would apply
only to FCUs, the Board's purpose is to encourage and strengthen
succession planning for all credit unions. The proposed rule would
provide FCUs with broad discretion in implementing the proposed
regulatory requirements to minimize any burden.
Succession planning is recognized as vital to the success of any
institution, including credit unions. One of the variables over which a
credit union board has control is the hiring of the organization's
senior management. A board's failure to plan for the transition of its
management could potentially come with high costs, including the
potential for the unplanned merger of the credit union upon the
departure of key personnel.
Affected Public: Private Sector: Not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 3,125.
Estimated No. of Responses per Respondent: 1.33.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 4,166.
Estimated Burden Hours per Response: 0.31.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,303.
The NCUA published the proposed rule at 87 FR 6078, on February 3,
2022 (FR Doc. 2022-02038). This proposed
[[Page 7503]]
rule would require all federal credit unions (FCUs) to establish a
succession plan and to review and update this plan annually. A one-time
recordkeeping burden would apply to all FCUs with the promulgation of
this rule, with additional information collection burden associated
with the maintaining and retaining this record.
Request for Comments: The NCUA invites comments on: (a) 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; (b) 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; (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 information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and cost of
operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide
information.
All comments are a matter of public records. Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments to (1) <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular information collection by selecting the
