NATIONAL CREDIT UNION 

ADMINISTRATION 

Office of Small Credit Unions (OSCUI) 

Loan Program Access for Credit 

Unions 

AGENCY: National Credit Union 

Administration (NCUA). 

ACTION: Notice of funding opportunity. 

SUMMARY: The National Credit Union 

Administration (NCUA) is issuing a 

Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) 

to invite eligible credit unions to submit 

applications for participation in the 

OSCUI Loan Program (a.k.a. Community 

Development Revolving Loan Fund 

(CDRLF)), subject to funding 

availability. The OSCUI Loan Program 

serves as a source of financial support,

serving predominantly low-income 

members. It also serves as a source of 

funding to help low-income designated 

credit unions (LICUs) respond to 

emergencies arising in their 

communities.

A. Program Description 

The purpose of the OSCUI Loan 

Program is to assist low-income 

designated credit unions (LICU) in 

providing basic financial services to 

their members to stimulate economic 

activities in their communities. Through 

the OSCUI Loan Program, NCUA 

provides financial support in the form 

of loans to LICUs. These funds help 

improve and expand the availability of 

financial services to these members. The 

OSCUI Loan Program also serves as a 

source of funding to help LICUs respond 

to emergencies. The Loan Program 

consists of Congressional appropriations 

that are administered by OSCUI, an 

office of the NCUA. 

Permissible Uses of Funds: NCUA 

will consider requests for funds 

consistent with the purpose of the 

OSCUI Loan Program. 12 CFR 705.1. A 

non-exhaustive list of examples of 

permissible uses or projects of loan 

proceeds are contained in § 705.4 of the 

regulation, and include: (i) Development 

of new products or services for members 

including new or expanded share draft 

or credit card programs; (ii) Partnership 

arrangements with community based 

service organizations or government 

agencies; (iii) Loan programs, including, 

but not lmited to, micro business loans, 

payday loan alternatives, education 

loans, and real estate loans; (iv) 

Acquisition, expansion or improvement 

of office space or equipment, including 

branch facilities, ATMs, and electronic 

banking facilities; and (v) Operational 

programs such as security and disaster 

recovery. 

NCUA will consider other proposed 

uses of funds that in its sole discretion 

it determines are consistent with the 

purpose of the OSCUI Loan Program, 

the requirements of the regulations, and 

this NOFO. 

Regulation: Part 705 of NCUA’s 

regulations implements the OSCUI 

Grant and Loan Program. 12 CFR 705. A 

revised Part 705 was published on 

November 2, 2011. 76 FR 67583. 

Additional requirements are found at 12 

CFR parts 701 and 741. Applicants 

should review these regulations in 

addition to this NOFO. Each capitalized 

term in this NOFO is more fully defined 

in the regulations, the loan application, 

and the loan agreement. For the 

purposes of this NOFO, an Applicant is 

a Qualifying Credit Union that submits 

a complete Application to NCUA under 

the OSCUI Loan Program. 

B. Federal Award Information 

OSCUI loans are made to LICUs that 

meet the requirements in the program 

regulation and this NOFO, subject to 

funds availability. OSCUI loans are 

generally made at lower than market 

interest rates. 

Congress has not made an 

appropriation to the OSCUI Loan 

Program for Fiscal Years 2014–2015. 

NCUA expects to lend approximately 

$5.2 million under this NOFO, derived 

from appropriated and earned funds. 

Monies for additional loans come from 

scheduled loan amortizations. NCUA 

reserves the right to: (i) Award more or 

less than the amount cited above; (ii) 

fund, in whole or in part, any, all, or 

none of the applications submitted in 

response to this NOFO; and (iii) 

reallocate funds from the amount that is 

anticipated to be available under this 

NOFO to other programs, particularly if 

NCUA determines that the number of 

awards made under this NOFO is fewer 

than projected. 

The specific terms and conditions 

governing a loan will be established in 

the loan documents each Participating 

Credit Union will sign prior to 

disbursement of funds. The following 

are the general loan terms under the 

program 

1. Maximum Loan Amount: NCUA 

expects that most loans made under this 

NOFO will be in an amount less than or 

equal to $300,000. NCUA has 

determined that loans of this size will 

help maximize allocation of this limited 

resource among many credit unions. 

However, NCUA will consider funding 

requests in excess of $300,000 from 

Applicants that demonstrate the need 

and capability to effectively deploy such 

funding; and have a high probability of 

realizing significant impact, while 

maintaining financial and operational 

soundness. NCUA may consider other 

factors for the approval of funding 

requests in excess of $300,000 and will 

be assessed on a case-by-case basis. See
