National Credit Union Administration June 30, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The NCUA Board (Board) is amending its regulations to remove the prohibition on the capitalization of interest in connection with loan workouts and modifications. The final rule also establishes documentation requirements to help ensure that the addition of unpaid interest to the principal balance of a mortgage loan does not hinder the borrower's ability to become current on the loan. The Board has also taken the opportunity afforded by the rulemaking to make several technical changes to the regulations to improve their clarity and update certain references. The final rule follows publication of the December 4, 2020, proposed rule and takes into consideration the public comments on the proposed rule. After careful consideration, the Board has decided to adopt the proposed rule without change.
