The NCUA announced it is requesting public comment on a proposed new information collection related to its internal travel management system, according to a notice scheduled for publication in the Federal Register.
The proposed collection, titled “Travel Management,” aims to streamline and document official travel activities for NCUA employees, state examiners and invited guests. The agency relies on a Travel Management Center (TMC) to handle key functions such as itinerary planning, booking accommodations and transportation, tracking expenses and completing procurement forms.

This marked the first formal request under a new Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number, 3133-New. The NCUA estimated the total annual burden of the information collection at 132.5 hours.
Stakeholders, including those in state or local governments, the private sector and not-for-profit institutions, are encouraged to submit feedback. The agency specifically invited comments addressing the necessity and practical utility of the information collection, the accuracy of the burden estimate, suggestions to improve clarity and usefulness, and ways to minimize reporting burdens through automation or new technology.
Comments are due 60 days from the publication date, which is scheduled for Thursday, June 12.
The NCUA emphasized that the initiative reflects its ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and transparency in managing travel-related activities across the agency.
