CUNA Issues "Call to Action" on Web Site for Credit Unions to Comment on Proposed MBL Rule

WASHINGTON – With the 30-day clock ticking on the comment period for NCUA’s proposal to ease its member business lending regulation, CUNA wants to make sure credit unions can easily voice their opinions. The association has set up its “Operation Comment” system to facilitate this. Its Web site now features a “Call to Action” icon that CUs can click on to comment on NCUA’s member business loan proposal. When NCUA put its controversial field-of-membership rules out for comment, the agency received 670 comments during the comment period, 217 of which came from state and national banks and bank trade associations. CUNA’s Mark Wolff said the association’s Operation Comment system “is designed to attract credit unions’ attention and make it easier for them to voice their opinion on NCUA actions.” [email protected]
