This
 week: NAFCU kicks advocacy into high gear ahead of Caucus, elections 
 NAFCU's advocacy remains in high gear as the close of the Democratic National
 Convention and Republican National Convention launches election season into full
 swing. The association encourages credit unions to register for its upcoming Virtual
 Congressional Caucus where credit unions across the country can connect with lawmakers
 and regulators to ensure key credit union issues are represented at the federal level.
 
 
 NAFCU
 urges flexibility, reduced burden as NCUA considers virtual exams 
 In
 response to the NCUA's request for information (RFI) on future exam modernization
 efforts, NAFCU Director of Regulatory Affairs Ann Kossachev Friday shared the
 association's appreciation for the NCUA's progress on certain reform
 initiatives and urged the agency to prioritize reducing examination burden. The
 agency is currently seeking ways to leverage new technology, analytics, and other
 capabilities to transition to a mostly virtual exam format. 
 
 
 FHFA
 to hold listening sessions on GSEs' capital proposal 
 The Federal
 Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) will hold two public listening sessions – Sept.
 10 and Sept. 14 – to gather additional feedback on its proposed rule to set
 capital requirements for the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs). NAFCU was
 generally supportive of the proposal when it was originally issued last year,
 but continues to advocate that certain safeguards are codified by Congress before
 removing the GSEs from conservatorship.
