Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Cutting disclosure paperwork for credit unions

The NCUA proposes to remove 12 CFR 741.10, which currently requires state‑chartered, federally insured credit unions (FISCUs) that accept nonmember shares or deposits to identify those accounts on Board reports and notify nonmember account holders by letter that their accounts are not federally insured. The proposal aims to reduce regulatory burden and paperwork for all federally insured credit unions (FICUs) and is open for comment until March 30, 2026.

Federal share insurance protections preserved

The proposal does not change federal share insurance coverage or protections. The NCUA emphasizes that FISCUs remain contractually required to meet the terms of NCUA Form 600 as a condition of maintaining federal share insurance coverage.

No significant impact on small credit unions

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the NCUA certifies that the proposed removal of Sec. 741.10 will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small credit unions. For this analysis the NCUA defines small credit unions as those with under $100 million in assets.
