Markets Wired

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (May 17, 2016) – The video recording of the April 2016 open meeting of the National Credit Union Administration Board is now available on the agency’s website.

Archived videos of past Board meetings may be viewed here, and each video remains on the site for one year.

At the April open meeting, the NCUA Board unanimously approved two items:

• A proposed rule to provide regulatory relief to federal credit unions by eliminating the full occupancy requirement in the current occupancy rule.
• A proposed joint agency rule under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to regulate in federally insured credit unions with assets of $1 billion or greater incentive-based compensation plans that encourage inappropriate risk-taking.

The Chief Financial Officer also briefed the Board on the performance of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, which had a net income of $24 million in the first quarter of 2016 and a decline in the provision for insurance losses.

NCUA posts these videos as part of the agency’s ongoing efforts to provide transparency and to allow those unable to attend Board meetings the opportunity to become better informed. An interval between the meeting and posting is necessary for the videos to comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act for the hearing and visually impaired.

The
Board Actions page of NCUA’s website has more information, including Board agendas, which are posted at least one week in advance of each open meeting, copies of Board Action Bulletins, which summarize the meetings, copies of Board memorandums and other documents.
