The board also clarified some of its previously passed credit card regulations including allowing credit unions to raise the interest rates on the accounts of returning veterans if they give them 45 days notice.

The board also voted to give the Office of Small Credit Union Initiatives additional powers to go along with the authority it gave it last year to be the focal point during the credit union chartering process. The powers include requiring its approval for revoking charters and giving it authority to enter a Letter of Understanding and Agreement.

The board also approved upgrading two positions in the Office of Capital Markets and creating two new positions in the Central Liquidity Facility.
