Chartering and Field of Membership

Lokale automatische vertaling · Oorspronkelijke brontaal

Samenvatting

The NCUA Board (Board) proposes to amend the associational common bond provisions of its chartering and field of membership (FOM) rules. The proposed FOM amendment would clarify that requiring the purchase of a product or service as a condition of membership no longer automatically bars eligibility as a recognized association. The Board does not believe such an automatic bar is required under the Federal Credit Union (FCU) Act, and a client-customer relationship as a condition of membership may still be incidental in a manner that permits an evaluation of the group's activities and overall circumstances.

Chartering and Field of Membership for Federal Credit Unions-Interpretive Ruling and Policy Statement 10-1

The NCUA Board (Board) is rescinding Interpretive Ruling and Policy Statement (IRPS) 10-1. The Chartering and Field of Membership Manual (Chartering Manual) incorporates NCUA's current chartering requirements for federal credit unions (FCUs), making IRPS 10-1 unnecessary. This rescission reduces the burden for FCUs by limiting the number of sources that they must check to verify compliance with applicable requirements. After considering the public comments, the Board adopts the proposal without modification.

Purchase, Sale, and Pledge Of Eligible Obligations

This final rule streamlines the NCUA Board (Board)'s regulations governing the purchase, sale, and pledge of eligible obligations. Specifically, the final rule removes the prescriptive lists of items that must be addressed in the written policies adopted by a federal credit union (FCU). Removal of the mandated items will enable a more efficient and principles-based approach. The final rule also removes detailed requirements regarding conflicts of interest and compensation. These regulatory provisions are unnecessary because FCUs are already governed by broader conflict of interest provisions in their bylaws and by the fiduciary duties of their officials. The final rule follows publication of a February 25, 2026, proposed rule and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposal. After careful consideration of the comments, the Board has decided to adopt the proposed rule without change.

Dependent Care and Board Member Expense Reimbursement

The NCUA Board is amending its regulations concerning the reimbursement of reasonable expenses for federal credit union (FCU) officials. The amendment revises the definition of compensation to exclude dependent care costs incurred by volunteer officials while attending board meetings and performing official credit union duties. By recognizing these costs as reimbursable, the NCUA Board is authorizing FCUs to remove a potential barrier to volunteer service for persons with dependent care responsibilities. The final rule also provides flexibility for FCU boards to adopt more family-friendly policies tailored to their size, region, and operations. The final rule follows publication of the January 26, 2026, proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received.

Requirements for Insurance

The NCUA Board (Board) is publishing this proposed rule to amend its regulations governing requirements for share insurance. This proposed rule would eliminate numerous provisions that merely point to substantive provisions codified elsewhere in the NCUA's regulations. The intended effect is to simplify the regulatory text and make it easier to navigate without altering the compliance obligations of federally insured credit unions. The Board believes this action is necessary to streamline the agency's regulations and reduce regulatory complexity.
