National Credit Union Administration November 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) will submit the following information collection requests to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice.

The NCUA Board (``Board'') is adopting a final rule amending its chartering and field of membership (``FOM'') rules to modernize requirements related to service facilities for multiple common bond (``MCB'') federal credit unions (``FCUs''). The final rule provides that shared locations are service facilities for purposes of MCB FCU additions of groups, regardless of whether the FCU has an ownership interest in the shared branching network providing the locations. Shared locations, including electronic facilities offering required services such as video teller machines, are also service facilities for purposes of MCB FCU additions of underserved areas, regardless of whether the FCU has an ownership interest. The final rule does not include other changes proposed to the definition of service facility; accordingly, ATMs continue to be excluded from the definition of service facility for additions of underserved areas.
