SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 17, 2009, the NCUA Board issued
a proposed rule to amend its chartering and field of membership manual
to update its community chartering policies. The amendments include
using objective and quantifiable criteria to determine the existence of
a local community and defining the term ``rural district.'' The
amendments clarify NCUA's marketing plan requirements for credit unions
converting to or expanding their community charters and define the term
``in danger of insolvency'' for emergency merger purposes. 74 FR 68722
(December 29, 2009).
NCUA requested comments on its proposal and set a 60-day comment
period. NCUA has received several requests to extend the comment
period. The NCUA Board believes a 45-day extension will help facilitate
the submission of comments without causing undue delay to the
rulemaking process. Accordingly, the comment period is extended and
comments must now be postmarked or received by April 15, 2010.
By the National Credit Union Administration Board on February 1,
2010.
Mary Rupp,
Secretary of the Board.
