The NCUA today announced the second round of proposed regulatory changes associated with its Deregulation Project. The project is an ongoing review of NCUA’s regulations to ensure regulations are focused on credit unions’ safety, soundness, and resilience. The agency is focused on removing or revising regulations that are: obsolete; overly burdensome; duplicative of other requirements; or guidance.

With today’s announcement, NCUA is requesting comments on four proposals that would clarify agency guidance or eliminate unduly burdensome or obsolete requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations.

The four proposals include:

• Changes for Surety and Guarantor Requirements – 12 CFR 701.20(c)(3) and 701.20(d)
  • NCUA is proposing changes to segregated deposit and collateral requirements.
