The League Calls for Your Comments on NCUA Proposed Regulation of 12 CFR Part 704

On November 19, 2009, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) issued a Proposed Regulation (1.4 mb PDF) that it believes addresses the causes of the current problems and will prevent similar problems from ever occurring in the future. It is a lengthy 252-page document and technical by nature.

Please respond to the NCUA with a letter over your CEO’s signature or that of your board chairman. The deadline for responses is March 9, 2010.

To help you with your response to this important initiative, the Washington Credit Union League has put together a comprehensive critical analysis of the proposed regulation, as seen through the eyes of Corporate executives who are in the best position to judge the cause and effect relationships of the NCUA proposals.
