ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The NCUA Board (Board) is amending the sections of NCUA's regulations addressing nondiscrimination requirements, flood insurance and the description of NCUA to make minor, nonsubstantive technical corrections.

The technical amendments update the regulations to reflect current agency practice and will not cause any substantive changes. DATES: This rule is effective March 21, 2012. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lance Noggle, Staff Attorney, Office of General Counsel, National Credit Union Administration, 1775 Duke Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314-3428 or telephone:

(703)518-6555. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background II. Regulatory Changes III. Regulatory Procedures I. Background A. Why is NCUA adopting this rule? NCUA reviews one-third of its regulations each year to “update, clarify and simplify existing regulations and eliminate redundant and unnecessary provisions.” NCUA Interpretive Ruling and Policy Statement

(IRPS)87-2, as amended by IRPS 03-2, Developing and Reviewing Government Regulations. In its 2011 review, NCUA determined minor revisions to parts 760 and 790 are necessary to reflect current agency practice. In addition, a similar update to part 701 is made. B. What changes does this rule make? This rule amends parts 701, 760 and 790 of NCUA's regulations to make minor technical corrections. The corrections are necessary to update and conform the sections to current agency practice. Specifically, section 701.31 is updated to reflect that the Board has redesignated the Office of Consumer Protection to hear discrimination complaints under the Fair Housing Act and Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The Office of Examination and Insurance previously was assigned this responsibility. The rule amends section 701.31 to remove references to “Office of Examination and Insurance” and to replace those references with “Office of Consumer Protection”. Section 760.6 is updated to replace the Federal Emergency Management Administration's mailing address with its Web site address. Section 790.2 is amended to add the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion 1 to the list of office descriptions; remove the separate description of the Office of Capital Markets and Planning and incorporate it into the description of the Office of Examination and Insurance; change the title of Director to Chief Financial Officer in the description of the Office of the Chief Financial Officer; update the description of the Regional Offices to reflect that other offices are primarily involved in chartering and insurance issues; and update the contact address of Region II. 1 The Office of Minority and Women Inclusion was required to be established by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. II. Regulatory Changes This rule provides minor technical corrections and will not cause any substantive changes. III. Regulatory Procedures Final Rule Under the Administrative Procedure Act The Board is issuing this rulemaking as a final rule, effective upon publication. Generally, the Administrative Procedure Act

(APA)requires a rulemaking to be published as a notice of proposed rulemaking with the opportunity for public comment, unless the agency for good cause finds that notice and public comment are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. 5 U.S.C. 553. The Board believes good cause exists for issuing these amendments without notice and public comment. The amendments in this rule are not substantive, but merely technical in that they make minor corrections to update the regulations and conform them to current agency practice. Additionally, the APA requires that a final rule must have a delayed effective date of 30 days from the date of publication, except for good cause. 5 U.S.C. 553(d). The Board also finds good cause to waive the customary 30-day delayed effective date requirement under the APA. 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). Again, the technical changes conform the rules to current agency practice. This rule will, therefore, be effective immediately upon publication. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act requires NCUA to prepare an analysis to describe any significant economic impact a rule may have on a substantial number of small entities (primarily those credit unions under ten million dollars in assets). This rule does not impose any regulatory burden. It merely makes non-substantive technical changes to parts 701, 760 and 790 of NCUA's regulations. These changes will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small credit unions. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required. Paperwork Reduction Act The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(PRA)applies to rulemakings in which an agency by rule creates a new paperwork burden on regulated entities or modifies an existing burden. 44 U.S.C. 3507(d); 5 CFR part 1320. For purposes of the PRA, a paperwork burden may take the form of either a reporting or a recordkeeping requirement, both referred to as information collections. These technical amendments do not impose any new paperwork burden. Executive Order 13132 Executive Order 13132 encourages independent regulatory agencies to consider the impact of their actions on state and local interests. In adherence to fundamental federalism principles, NCUA, an independent regulatory agency as defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(5), voluntarily complies with the executive order. These changes will not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. NCUA has determined that these changes do not constitute a policy that has federalism implications for purposes of the executive order. The Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 1999—Assessment of Federal Regulations and Policies on Families NCUA has determined that this rule will not affect family well-being within the meaning of section 654 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 1999, Pub. L. 105-277, 112 Stat. 2681 (1998). Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act The Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121) (SBREFA) provides generally for congressional review of agency rules. A reporting requirement is triggered in instances where NCUA issues a final rule as defined by Section 551 of the APA. 5 U.S.C. 551. Based on similar technical changes to the NCUA regulations, we believe the Office of Management and Budget will determine that this rule is not a major rule for purposes of SBREFA. As required by SBREFA, NCUA will file the appropriate reports with Congress and the General Accounting Office so this rule may be reviewed.
