AGENCY:
National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
SUMMARY:
The NCUA Board (Board) proposes to amend its regulations governing the voluntary termination of federal share insurance to streamline member communication requirements. This action is necessary to reduce regulatory burden by eliminating overly prescriptive formatting rules for the mandatory disclosure statement that credit unions must provide to members. The intended effect is to simplify compliance and provide credit unions with greater flexibility in designing effective communications, while still ensuring that members receive clear and prominent notice of a proposed termination of federal insurance.
