(703) 518–6333, and email bhardaway@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

NCUA’s examination and supervision of 

federally insured credit unions and 

enforcement of applicable rules and 

regulations is designed to protect the 

safety and soundness of the credit union 

system and ensure consumer financial 

protection. To accomplish this mission, 

the NCUA must be able to communicate 

efficiently and effectively with financial 

institutions. 

Stakeholders learn about the agency’s 

mission, values, policies, initiatives, 

and strategic goals primarily through 

NCUA.gov. While the NCUA’s audience 

is diverse, each user has the same basic 

need: To obtain information to make 

important financial and business 

decisions quickly and easily. Outdated, 

duplicative, or hard-to-find content 

reduces the effectiveness of the NCUA’s 

communications with federally insured 

credit unions and increases their overall 

regulatory burden as they must spend 

time and staff resources sorting through 

the NCUA’s communications in order to 

comply with regulatory and supervisory 

guidance. 

Overview of Request for Information 

The NCUA is seeking public input on 

how to make its communications with 

federally insured credit unions more 

effective, consistent, and clear to 

minimize unnecessary regulatory and 

operation burdens as much as possible 

and promote compliance with all 

applicable laws and regulations. While 

the NCUA’s communications are 

essential to fulfill its statutory mandate, 

the agency recognizes the amount of 

information it provides to credit unions 

can create challenges and may impose 

unintended burdens for institutions. 

The agency intends to remove outdated, 

duplicative and superseded regulatory 

and supervisory guidance from its 

website. 

Additionally, the NCUA is asking its 

stakeholders to suggest initiatives that 

would maximize efficiency and 

minimize burdens associated with 

obtaining information on federal laws, 

regulations, policies, guidance, and 

other materials relevant to federally 

insured credit unions. 

Forms of Communication 

The NCUA uses many forms of 

communication to inform credit unions 

about regulations, policies and 

guidance, industry data and educational 

materials, and other news and updates. 

The agency’s primary communications 

channel is its website, NCUA.gov, 

which provides information on many 

agency activities. Some forms of 

communication may be used to 

disseminate more than one type of 

information, and some materials may be 

distributed through multiple channels.
