Inclusion (OMWI) to be responsible for all matters of the Agency 
relating to diversity in management, employment, and business 
activities. The Act also instructed each OMWI Director to develop 
standards for assessing the diversity policies and practices of 
entities regulated by the Agency. The Agencies worked together to 
develop joint standards (Joint Standards) and, on June 10, 2015, they 
jointly published in the Federal Register \1\ the ``Final Interagency 
Policy Statement Establishing Joint Standards for Assessing the 
Diversity Policies and Practices of Entities Regulated by the 
Agencies.'' \2\ The Policy Statement contains a ``collection of

(PRA).

Agencies in issuing the Policy Statement. However, the NCUA did not 
join the request for approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act 
(PRA) of the information collection contained in the Policy 
Statement as it submitted a separate request for PRA approval.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Although the Policy Statement was effective on June 10, 2015, the 
collection of information was not effective until

pleased to announce that on February 18, 2016, OMB approved the 
collection of information for OCC, the Board, FDIC, CFPB, and SEC and
