Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission to OMB for Reinstatement, With Change, of a Previously Approved Collection

Resumo

The NCUA is submitting the following information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for reinstatement under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Notice of this information collection is published to obtain comments from the public. Under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), financial institutions that meet the reporting criteria must compile and make available data about their housing-related lending activity. The data is made available to the public for the purposes of: (1) Helping to determine whether financial institutions are serving the housing needs of their communities; (2) assisting public officials in distributing public-sector investment so as to attract private investment to areas where it is needed; and (3) assisting in identifying possible discriminatory lending patterns and enforcing anti-discrimination statutes. The information collection will assist NCUA to ensure credit unions are in compliance with fair lending laws and regulations.
