In Comment Letter to NCUA, League Notes Regulatory Relief Needed Well Beyond Simply Rules on the Books
Your League this week filed a comment letter with the National Credit Union Administration as part of the agency's annual review of one-third of its regulations. This year’s review covers parts 700 to 710.
"The sum total of 'regulation' usually includes a much greater universe than just the rules set out in the Code of Federal Regulations. Accordingly, we would ask that the NCUA expand its scope of its review of its rules to include a broader look at how it regulates its credit unions," says the letter. "To assist with this review, we recommend NCUA stand up a committee of credit union representatives to give practical feedback throughout the year."
