Markets Wired

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Jan. 12, 2016) – The video recording of the December 2015 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.

The December open Board meeting’s agenda consisted of two items:

• A final rule to provide enhanced pass-through share insurance coverage for real estate agents’ escrow accounts, prepaid funeral accounts and other escrow accounts similar to lawyers’ trust accounts; and
• A notice to stakeholders of the opportunity to comment on regulations covering rules of procedure and safety and soundness for possible modification, simplification or repeal.

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.
