SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Federal Credit Union
Act and NCUA's regulations,\1\ NCUA uses the Call Report, Corporate
Call Report, and Profile to collect financial and non-financial
information from FICUs. The reported data enables the agency to assess
risk and monitor regulatory compliance at the institution and industry
levels, which is central to achieving the NCUA's mission and
safeguarding the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (Share
Insurance Fund). The NCUA regularly evolves data-collection reports to
reflect current industry practices, align with statutory and regulatory
changes, and support examination and supervision procedures. This
regular review is intended to ensure the agency captures material FICU
risk exposures, removes data for obsolete areas or areas of low
information value, and tailors the reporting burden on supervised
institutions to size and complexity.

\1\ 12 U.S.C. 1782(a), 1756, 1784(a), 1789(a)(8); 12 CFR 741.4,
741.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The NCUA and credit unions are best served by a good balance
between the collection of data to support the effective regulation and
supervision of FICUs with the associated burden on credit unions.
This balance is best achieved through open dialogue and direct
feedback from credit unions and other stakeholders. The NCUA is seeking
to hear from interested parties, including, but not limited to, credit
unions, leagues, trades, other regulators, industry-related
professionals, and academics.
The NCUA will use the information furnished by individuals and
organizations to enhance the data collection process and reduce burden
where possible without compromising the agency's ability to achieve its
mission.
Request for Comment
The NCUA is providing questions about major aspects of the subject
data collections to target issues that have the most impact. These
questions are not intended to limit discussion, and respondents may
explore any issue relevant to the subject data collections. Information
received will not be used for statistical purposes.
Responses containing references to studies, research, or data not
widely available to the public should include copies of the referenced
materials. A description of the commenter's organization and its
interest in NCUA's data collection will help the agency use the input
provided but it is optional.
1. What specific areas of the Call Report, Corporate Call Report,
and Profile forms do you find challenging to complete? Please describe
the nature of those challenges.
2. For credit unions that use manual processes to gather and input
into the NCUA's electronic Call Report, Corporate Call Report, and
Profile systems, is there software available, from core system
vendor(s) or elsewhere, to increase automation and efficiency? If so,
what are the hurdles, if any, to utilizing such software?
3. What additional sections/schedules/items on the Call Report,
Corporate Call Report, and Profile could be made optional for small or
non-complex credit unions?
4. What specific items would you like to see added to the Call
Report, Corporate Call Report, and Profile to enhance analysis of
local, regional, and national performance trends, improve comparisons
of individual credit unions with peer institutions, or increase
transparency for members and the public about credit unions?
5. Are there items or data that could be collected through the Call
Report, Corporate Call Report, and Profile that would enhance NCUA's
offsite analysis to identify risk and monitor regulatory compliance
that may reduce burden during examinations?
6. Are there any items on the Call Report, Corporate Call Report,
and Profile that could be removed from collection?
7. Can the Call Report, Corporate Call Report, and Profile
instructions be improved? If so, what improvements (overall and
specific to individual items/schedules) would improve clarity and
reduce the reporting burden?
8. Are the burden estimates for the Call Report, Corporate Call
Report, and Profile accurate? If not, what changes would you suggest to
the burden estimate?
9. Do you have any concerns or suggestions about the Call Report,
Corporate Call Report, and Profile systems or forms for collecting
financial and non-financial information that are not addressed in the
questions above?
10. What specific information collected on the Call Report,
Corporate Call Report, and Profile could be collected more efficiently?
For example, by obtaining reports or data directly from other sources.
Authority: 12 U.S.C. 1782(a), 1756, 1784(a), 1789(a)(8); 12 CFR
