National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund Premium and One Percent Deposit

Résumé

Section 741.4 of NCUA's rules describes the procedures for the capitalization and maintenance of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). The current rule, however, does not adequately address how credit unions that enter or depart the NCUSIF system in a given calendar year are affected by any NCUSIF premium or deposit replenishment assessments in that same year. Due to the unprecedented level of NCUSIF expenses in 2009, which required the NCUA to announce both such assessments, NCUA is now proposing amendments to Sec. 741.4 to clarify these procedures. The proposal makes other minor changes to 741.4 and conforming changes to Sec. 701.6 relating to the payment of operating fees by Federal credit unions.
