The NCUA Board (Board) solicits public comment on a proposal to streamline its regulations governing the purchase, sale, and pledge of eligible obligations. The Board proposes to remove the prescriptive lists of items that must be addressed in the written policies adopted by a federal credit union (FCU). Although FCUs would still be required to maintain written policies, removing the mandated items will enable a more efficient and principles-based approach. The Board also proposes to remove detailed requirements regarding conflicts of interest and compensation. These regulatory provisions are unnecessary since FCUs are already governed by broader conflict of interest provisions in their bylaws and by the fiduciary duties of their officials.
