Markets Wired

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Feb. 2, 2017) – The video recording of the Jan. 19, 2017, 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.

At the January open meeting, the Board unanimously approved one item:

• An advance notice of proposed rulemaking to solicit comments on alternative forms of capital federally insured credit unions might use to meet capital standards required by statute and regulation.

The Board also received a briefing from NCUA’s Office of General Counsel on inflation adjustments to civil monetary penalties, which are required by federal law.

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.
