Policy for Setting the Normal Operating Level The policy for setting the Normal Operating Level adopted in 2017 established a periodic review of the equity needs of the Insurance Fund, the results of which are to be communicated to stakeholders.2 At least annually, NCUA staff will review the level at which the NOL is set and report this information to the Board. Board action is only necessary when a change in the NOL is determined to be warranted. The policy establishes that any change to the Normal Operating Level of more than one basis point 3 shall be made only after a public announcement of the proposed adjustment and opportunity for comment. Further, in soliciting comment, the NCUA will issue a public report, including data supporting the proposal. The policy establishes the following objectives that the Board will seek to satisfy when setting the Normal Operating Level: • Retain public confidence in federal share insurance; • Prevent impairment of the one percent contributed capital deposit; 4 and • Ensure the Insurance Fund can withstand a moderate recession without 1 82 FR 42298 (Oct. 4, 2017). noted, the Board adopted this policy for setting the Normal Operating Level in 2017. The Board emphasizes that, as a general statement of the NCUA’s policy regarding setting the Normal Operating Level, the Board is not required to follow the notice-and-comment rulemaking process when revising this policy. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(a). Nevertheless, the Board is voluntarily soliciting public input on this policy. 3 One basis point is one hundredth of one percent. 4 Federally insured credit unions are required to maintain a deposit equal to one percent of their insured shares with the Insurance Fund. 12 U.S.C. 1782(c)(1)(A)(i). 2 As PO 00000 Frm 00103 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 28155 the equity ratio declining below 1.20 percent over a five-year period. The current economic landscape and pending resolution of the obligations associated with the corporate credit union asset management estates and NCUA Guaranteed Notes (NGN) Program discussed later in this document warrant that the NCUA reevaluate the current Normal Operating Level policy. II. Legal Authority Per the Federal Credit Union Act (Act), the Normal Operating Level is an equity ratio set by the Board and may not be less than 1.20 percent and not more than 1.50 percent.5 The Board has historically set the Normal Operating Level as the target equity ratio for the Insurance Fund. The Insurance Fund’s calendar yearend equity ratio is part of the statutory basis to determine whether the NCUA must make a distribution to insured credit unions.6 The Act states the Board shall effect a pro rata distribution to insured credit unions after each calendar year if, as of the end of that calendar year— • Any loans to the Fund from the Federal Government, and any interest on those loans, have been repaid; • The Fund’s equity ratio exceeds the Normal Operating Level; and • The Fund’s available assets ratio exceeds 1.0 percent.7 The provisions of the Act are implemented at 12 CFR part 741 of the NCUA’s regulations. III. Current Normal Operating Level Methodology and Process To implement the current approved policy, the NCUA developed a calculation based on projections related to the following factors: • The modeled performance of the Insurance Fund over a five-year period, assuming a moderate recession. The stress scenario entails estimating three primary drivers of outcomes: insurance losses, insured share growth, and yield on investments. The NCUA’s analysis is based on the Federal Reserve’s adverse economic scenario; however, the Federal Reserve did not publish an adverse scenario in 2020 or 2021. This necessitates the NCUA develop an adverse scenario based on the Federal Reserve’s published baseline and severely adverse scenarios. 5 12 U.S.C. 1782(h)(4). 6 The equity ratio is also part of the statutory basis for determining whether a premium or Insurance Fund restoration plan is necessary. 7 12 U.S.C. 1782(c)(3). This section is also subject to 12 U.S.C. 1790e(e). E:\FR\FM\25MYN1.SGM 25MYN1
