                     SUBCHAPTER II--SHARE INSURANCE
 
Sec. 1782. Administration of insurance fund


(a) Reports of condition

    (1) Each insured credit union shall make reports of condition to the 
Board upon dates which shall be selected by it. Such reports of 
condition shall be in such form and shall contain such information as 
the Board may require. The reporting dates selected for reports of 
condition shall be the same for all insured credit unions except that 
when any of said reporting dates is a nonbusiness day for any credit 
union the preceding business day shall be its reporting date. The total 
amount of the member accounts of each insured credit union as of each 
reporting date shall be reported in such reports of condition in 
accordance with regulations prescribed by the Board. Each report of 
condition shall contain a declaration by the president, by a vice 
president, by the treasurer, or by any other officer designated by the 
board of directors of the reporting credit union to make such 
declaration, that the report is true and correct to the best of such 
officer's knowledge and belief. Unless such requirement is waived by the 
Board, the correctness of each report of condition shall be attested by 
the signatures of three of the officers of the reporting credit union 
with the declaration that the report has been examined by them and to 
the best of their knowledge and belief is true and correct.
    (2) The Board may call for such other reports as it may from time to 
time require.
    (3) The Board may require reports of condition to be published in 
such manner, not inconsistent with any applicable law, as it may direct. 
Any insured credit union which maintains procedures reasonably adapted 
to avoid any inadvertent error and, unintentionally and as a result of 
such an error, fails to submit or publish any report required under this 
subsection or section 1756 of this title, within the period of time 
specified by the Board, or submits or publishes any false or misleading 
report or information, or inadvertently transmits or publishes any 
report which is minimally late, shall be subject to a penalty of not 
more than $2,000 for each day during which such failure continues or 
such false or misleading information is not corrected. The insured 
credit union shall have the burden of proving that an error was 
inadvertent and that a report was inadvertently transmitted or published 
late. Any insured credit union which fails to submit or publish any 
report required under this subsection or section 1756 of this title, 
within the period of time specified by the Board, or submits or 
publishes any false or misleading report or information, in a manner not 
described in the 2nd preceding sentence shall be subject to a penalty of 
not more than $20,000 for each day during which such failure continues 
or such false or misleading information is not corrected. 
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if any insured credit union 
knowingly or with reckless disregard for the accuracy of any information 
or report described in such sentence submits or publishes any false or 
misleading report or information, the Board may assess a penalty of not 
more than $1,000,000 or 1 percent of total assets of such credit union, 
whichever is less, per day for each day during which such failure 
continues or such false or misleading information is not corrected. Any 
penalty imposed under any of the 4 preceding sentences shall be assessed 
and collected by the Board in the manner provided in section 1786(k)(2) 
of this title (for penalties imposed under such section) and any such 
assessment (including the determination of the amount of the penalty) 
shall be subject to the provisions of such section. Any insured credit 
union against which any penalty is assessed under this subsection shall 
be afforded an agency hearing if such insured credit union submits a 
request for such hearing within 20 days after the issuance of the notice 
of assessment. Section 1786(j) of this title shall apply to any 
proceeding under this subsection.
    (4) The Board may accept any report of condition made to any 
commission, board, or authority having supervision of a State-chartered 
credit union and may furnish to any such commission, board, or authority 
reports of condition made to the Board.
    (5) Reports required under subchapter I of this chapter shall be so 
prepared that they can be used for share insurance purposes. To the 
maximum extent feasible, the Board shall use for insurance purposes 
reports submitted to State regulatory agencies by State-chartered credit 
unions.
    (6) Audit requirement.--
        (A) In general.--Before the end of the 120-day period beginning 
    on August 9, 1989, and notwithstanding any other provision of 
    Federal or State law, the Board shall prescribe, by regulation, 
    audit standards which require an outside, independent audit of any 
    insured credit union by a certified public accountant for any fiscal 
    year (of such credit union)--
            (i) for which such credit union has not conducted an annual 
        supervisory committee audit;
            (ii) for which such credit union has not received a complete 
        and satisfactory supervisory committee audit; or
            (iii) during which such credit union has experienced 
        persistent and serious recordkeeping deficiencies, as determined 
        by the Board.

        (B) Unsafe or unsound practice.--The Board may treat the failure 
    of any insured credit union to obtain an outside, independent audit 
    for any fiscal year for which such audit is required under 
    subparagraph (A) or (D) as an unsafe or unsound practice within the 
    meaning of section 1786(b) of this title.
        (C) Accounting principles.--
            (i) In general.--Accounting principles applicable to reports 
        or statements required to be filed with the Board by each 
        insured credit union shall be uniform and consistent with 
        generally accepted accounting principles.
            (ii) Board determination.--If the Board determines that the 
        application of any generally accepted accounting principle to 
        any insured credit union is not appropriate, the Board may 
        prescribe an accounting principle for application to the credit 
        union that is no less stringent than generally accepted 
        accounting principles.
            (iii) De minimus exception.--This subparagraph shall not 
        apply to any insured credit union, the total assets of which are 
        less than $10,000,000, unless prescribed by the Board or an 
        appropriate State credit union supervisor.

        (D) Large credit union audit requirement.--
            (i) In general.--Each insured credit union having total 
        assets of $500,000,000 or more shall have an annual independent 
        audit of the financial statements of the credit union, performed 
        in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by an 
        independent certified public accountant or public accountant 
        licensed by the appropriate State or jurisdiction to perform 
        those services.
            (ii) Voluntary audits.--If a Federal credit union that is 
        not required to conduct an audit under clause (i), and that has 
        total assets of more than $10,000,000 conducts such an audit for 
        any purpose, using an independent auditor who is compensated for 
        his or her audit services with respect to that audit, the audit 
        shall be performed consistent with the accountancy laws of the 
        appropriate State or jurisdiction, including licensing 
        requirements.

    (7) Report to independent auditor.--
        (A) In general.--Each insured credit union which has engaged the 
    services of an independent auditor to audit such depository 
    institution within the past 2 years shall transmit to such auditor a 
    copy of the most recent report of condition made by such credit 
    union (pursuant to this chapter or any other provision of law) and a 
    copy of the most recent report of examination received by such 
    credit union.
        (B) Additional information.--In addition to the copies of the 
    reports required to be provided to an auditor under subparagraph 
    (A), each insured credit union shall provide such auditor with--
            (i) a copy of any supervisory memorandum of understanding 
        with such credit union and any written agreement between the 
        Board or a State regulatory agency and the credit union which is 
        in effect during the period covered by the audit; and
            (ii) a report of any action initiated or taken by the Board 
        during such period under subsection (e), (f), (g), (i), (l), or 
        (q) of section 1786 of this title, or any similar action taken 
        by a State regulatory agency under State law, or any other civil 
        money penalty assessed by the Board under this chapter, with 
        respect to--
                (I) the credit union; or
                (II) any institution-affiliated party.

(b) Certified statement

                       (1) Statement required

        (A) In general

            For each calendar year, in the case of an insured credit 
        union with total assets of not more than $50,000,000, and for 
        each semi-annual period in the case of an insured credit union 
        with total assets of $50,000,000 or more, an insured credit 
        union shall file with the Board, at such time as the Board 
        prescribes, a certified statement showing the total amount of 
        insured shares in the credit union at the close of the relevant 
        period and both the amount of its deposit or adjustment of 
        deposit and the amount of the insurance charge due to the Fund 
        for that period, both as computed under subsection (c) of this 
        section.

        (B) Exception for newly insured credit union

            Subparagraph (A) shall not apply with respect to a credit 
        union that became insured during the reporting period.

                              (2) Form

        The certified statements required to be filed with the Board 
    pursuant to this subsection shall be in such form and shall set 
    forth such supporting information as the Board shall require.

                          (3) Certification

        The president of the credit union or any officer designated by 
    the board of directors shall certify, with respect to each statement 
    required to be filed with the Board pursuant to this subsection, 
    that to the best of his or her knowledge and belief the statement is 
    true, correct, complete, and in accordance with this subchapter and 
    the regulations issued under this subchapter.

(c) Deposit with National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund; amount, 
        return, distribution, etc.

    (1)(A)(i) Each insured credit union shall pay to and maintain with 
the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund a deposit in an amount 
equaling 1 per centum of the credit union's insured shares.
    (ii) The Board may, in its discretion, authorize insured credit 
unions to initially fund such deposit over a period of time in excess of 
one year if necessary to avoid adverse effects on the condition of 
insured credit unions.
    (iii) Periodic adjustment.--The amount of each insured credit 
union's deposit shall be adjusted as follows, in accordance with 
procedures determined by the Board, to reflect changes in the credit 
union's insured shares:
        (I) annually, in the case of an insured credit union with total 
    assets of not more than $50,000,000; and
        (II) semi-annually, in the case of an insured credit union with 
    total assets of $50,000,000 or more.

    (B)(i) The deposit shall be returned to an insured credit union in 
the event that its insurance coverage is terminated, it converts to 
insurance coverage from another source, or in the event the operations 
of the fund are transferred from the National Credit Union 
Administration Board.
    (ii) The deposit shall be returned in accordance with procedures and 
valuation methods determined by the Board, but in no event shall the 
deposit be returned any later than one year after the final date on 
which no shares of the credit union are insured by the Board.
    (iii) The deposit shall not be returned in the event of liquidation 
on account of bankruptcy or insolvency.
    (iv) The deposit funds may be used by the fund if necessary to meet 
its expenses, in which case the amount so used shall be expensed and 
shall be replenished by insured credit unions in accordance with 
procedures established by the Board.
    (2) Insurance premium charges.--
        (A) In general.--Each insured credit union shall, at such times 
    as the Board prescribes (but not more than twice in any calendar 
    year), pay to the Fund a premium charge for insurance in an amount 
    stated as a percentage of insured shares (which shall be the same 
    for all insured credit unions).
        (B) Relation of premium charge to equity ratio of Fund.--The 
    Board may assess a premium charge only if--
            (i) the Fund's equity ratio is less than 1.3 percent; and
            (ii) the premium charge does not exceed the amount necessary 
        to restore the equity ratio to 1.3 percent.

        (C) Premium charge required if equity ratio falls below 1.2 
    percent.--If the Fund's equity ratio is less than 1.2 percent, the 
    Board shall, subject to subparagraph (B), assess a premium charge in 
    such an amount as the Board determines to be necessary to restore 
    the equity ratio to, and maintain that ratio at, 1.2 percent.

    (3) Distributions from Fund required.--
        (A) In general.--The Board shall effect a pro rata distribution 
    to insured credit unions after each calendar year if, as of the end 
    of that calendar year--
            (i) any loans to the Fund from the Federal Government, and 
        any interest on those loans, have been repaid;
            (ii) the Fund's equity ratio exceeds the normal operating 
        level; and
            (iii) the Fund's available assets ratio exceeds 1.0 percent.

        (B) Amount of distribution.--The Board shall distribute under 
    subparagraph (A) the maximum possible amount that--
            (i) does not reduce the Fund's equity ratio below the normal 
        operating level; and
            (ii) does not reduce the Fund's available assets ratio below 
        1.0 percent.

        (C) Calculation based on certified statements.--In calculating 
    the Fund's equity ratio and available assets ratio for purposes of 
    this paragraph, the Board shall determine the aggregate amount of 
    the insured shares in all insured credit unions from insured credit 
    unions certified statements under subsection (b) of this section of 
    this section for the final reporting period of the calendar year 
    referred to in subparagraph (A).

    (4) Timeliness and accuracy of data.--In calculating the available 
assets ratio and equity ratio of the Fund, the Board shall use the most 
current and accurate data reasonably available.

(d) Remedy for failure to report; penalty for failure to file certified 
        statement or pay premium; dispute as to deposit or premium 
        charge; prohibition on distribution of assets or dividends while 
        in default

    (1) Any insured credit union which fails to make any report of 
condition under subsection (a) of this section or to file any certified 
statement required to be filed by it in connection with determining the 
amount of its deposit or any premium charge for insurance may be 
compelled to make such report or to file such statement by mandatory 
injunction or other appropriate remedy in a suit brought for such 
purpose by the Board against the credit union and any officer or 
officers thereof. Any such suit may be brought in any court of the 
United States of competent jurisdiction in the district or territory in 
which the principal office of the credit union is located.
    (2) Penalty for failure to make accurate certified statement or to 
pay deposit or premium.--
        (A) First tier.--Any insured credit union which--
            (i) maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid any 
        inadvertent error and, unintentionally and as a result of such 
        an error, fails to submit any certified statement under 
        subsection (b)(1) of this section within the period of time 
        required or submits a false or misleading certified statement 
        under such subsection; or
            (ii) submits the statement at a time which is minimally 
        after the time required,

    shall be subject to a penalty of not more than $2,000 for each day 
    during which such failure continues or such false and misleading 
    information is not corrected. The insured credit union shall have 
    the burden of proving that an error was inadvertent or that a 
    statement was inadvertently submitted late.
        (B) Second tier.--Any insured credit union which--
            (i) fails to submit any certified statement under subsection 
        (b)(1) of this section within the period of time required or 
        submits a false or misleading certified statement in a manner 
        not described in subparagraph (A); or
            (ii) fails or refuses to pay any deposit or premium for 
        insurance required under this subchapter,

    shall be subject to a penalty of not more than $20,000 for each day 
    during which such failure continues, such false and misleading 
    information is not corrected, or such deposit or premium is not 
    paid.
        (C) Third tier.--Notwithstanding subparagraphs (A) and (B), if 
    any insured credit union knowingly or with reckless disregard for 
    the accuracy of any certified statement under subsection (b)(1) of 
    this section submits a false or misleading certified statement under 
    such subsection, the Board may assess a penalty of not more than 
    $1,000,000 or not more than 1 percent of the total assets of the 
    credit union, whichever is less, per day for each day during which 
    the failure continues or the false or misleading information in such 
    statement is not corrected.
        (D) Assessment procedure.--Any penalty imposed under this 
    paragraph shall be assessed and collected by the Board in the manner 
    provided in section 1786(k)(2) of this title (for penalties imposed 
    under such section) and any such assessment (including the 
    determination of the amount of the penalty) shall be subject to the 
    provisions of such section.
        (E) Hearing.--Any insured credit union against which any penalty 
    is assessed under this paragraph shall be afforded an agency hearing 
    if the credit union submits a request for such hearing within 20 
    days after the issuance of the notice of the assessment. Section 
    1786(j) of this title shall apply to any proceeding under this 
    subparagraph.
        (F) Special rule for disputed payments.--No penalty may be 
    assessed for the failure of any insured credit union to pay any 
    deposit or premium for insurance if--
            (i) the failure is due to a dispute between the credit union 
        and the Board over the amount of the deposit or premium which is 
        due from the credit union; and
            (ii) the credit union deposits security satisfactory to the 
        Board for payment of the deposit or insurance premium upon final 
        determination of the dispute.
    (3) No insured credit union shall pay any dividends on its insured 
shares or distribute any of its assets while it remains in default in 
the payment of its deposit or any premium charge for insurance due to 
the fund. Any director or officer of any insured credit union who 
knowingly participates in the declaration or payment of any such 
dividend or in any such distribution shall, upon conviction, be fined 
not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. The 
provisions of this paragraph shall not be applicable in any case in 
which the default is due to a dispute between the credit union and the 
Board over the amount of its deposit or the premium charge due to the 
fund if the credit union deposits security satisfactory to the Board for 
payment of its deposit or the premium charge upon final determination of 
the issue.

(e) Recovery of unpaid deposit or premium; limitations

    The Board, in a suit brought at law or in equity in any court of 
competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled to recover from any insured 
credit union the amount of any unpaid deposit or premium charge for 
insurance lawfully payable by the credit union to the fund, whether or 
not such credit union shall have made any report of condition under 
subsection (a) of this section or filed any certified statement required 
under subsection (b) of this section and whether or not suit shall have 
been brought to compel the credit union to make any such report or to 
file any such statement. No action or proceeding shall be brought for 
the recovery of any deposit or premium charge due to the fund, or for 
the recovery of any amount paid to the fund in excess of the amount due 
it, unless such action or proceeding shall have been brought within five 
years after the right accrued for which the claim is made. Where the 
insured credit union has made or filed with the Board a false or 
fraudulent certified statement with the intent to evade, in whole or in 
part, the payment of its deposit or any premium charge, the claim shall 
not be deemed to have accrued until the discovery by the Board of the 
fact that the certified statement is false or fraudulent.

(f) Penalty for failure to comply with section; court determination of 
        failure; remedies not exclusive

    Should any Federal credit union fail to make any report of condition 
under subsection (a) of this section or to file any certified statement 
required to be filed under subsection (b) of this section or to pay its 
deposit or any premium charge for insurance required to be paid under 
any provision of this subchapter, and should the credit union fail to 
correct such failure within thirty days after written notice has been 
given by the Board to an officer of the credit union, citing this 
subsection and stating that the credit union has failed to make any such 
report or file any such statement or pay any such deposit or premium 
charges as required by law, all the rights, privileges, and franchises 
of the credit union granted to it under subchapter I of this chapter 
shall be thereby forfeited. Whether or not the penalty provided in this 
subsection has been incurred shall be determined and adjudged by any 
court of the United States of competent jurisdiction in a suit brought 
for that purpose in the district or territory in which the principal 
office of such credit union is located, under direction of and by the 
Board in its own name, before the credit union shall be declared 
dissolved. The remedies provided in this subsection and in subsections 
(d) and (e) of this section shall not be construed as limiting any other 
remedies against any insured credit union but shall be in addition 
thereto.

(g) Records

    Each insured credit union shall maintain such records as will 
readily permit verification of the correctness of its reports of 
condition, certified statements, and deposit and premium charges for 
insurance. However, no insured credit union shall be required to retain 
such records for such purpose for a period in excess of five years from 
the date of the making of any such report, the filing of any such 
statement, or the payment of any deposit or adjustment thereof or any 
premium charge, except that when there is a dispute between the insured 
credit union and the Board over the amount of any deposit or adjustment 
thereof or any premium charge for insurance the credit union shall 
retain such records until final determination of the issue.
