and regulators to ensure key credit union issues are represented at the federal level.

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

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.
