The Senate Banking Committee should use tomorrow's oversight hearing on credit unions to make sure the NCUA is more transparent and that regulations don't unintentionally overburden credit unions, according to a letter from NAFCU to panel members.

NAFCU President/CEO Fred Becker wrote that he hopes the panel will "continue its careful oversight to ensure the NCUA implements the corporate stabilization legislation in a transparent manner."

He also urged the panel to exercise careful oversight to "examine the unintended, but nevertheless substantially adverse, impact of the ever-increasing regulatory burden on smaller financial institutions."
