I. Background

    Section 2 of the CUAC Charter provides: ``Pursuant to the executive 
and administrative powers conferred on the Consumer Financial 
Protection Bureau (CFPB or Bureau) by Section 1012 of the Dodd-Frank 
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the 
Director established the Credit Union Advisory Council to consult with 
the Bureau in the exercise of its functions under the federal consumer 
financial laws as they pertain to credit unions with total assets of 
$10 billion or less.''
    Section 3 of the CUAC Charter states: ``a) The CFPB supervises 
depository institutions and credit unions with total assets of more 
than $10 billion and their respective affiliates, but other than the 
limited authority conferred by Sec.  1026 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the 
CFPB does not have supervisory authority regarding credit unions and 
depository institutions with total assets of $10 billion or less. As a 
result, the CFPB does not have regular contact with these institutions, 
and it would therefore be beneficial to create a mechanism to ensure 
that their unique perspectives are shared with the Bureau. Small 
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) panels provide 
one avenue to gather this input, but participants from credit unions 
must possess no more than $175 million in assets, which precludes the 
participation of many. b) The Advisory Council shall fill this gap by 
providing an interactive dialogue and exchange of ideas and experiences 
between credit union employees and Bureau staff. c) The Advisory 
Council shall advise generally on the Bureau's regulation of consumer 
financial products or services and other topics assigned to it by the 
Director. To carry out the Advisory Council's purpose, the scope of its 
activities shall include providing information, analysis, and 
recommendations to the Bureau. The output of Advisory Council meetings
