Abstract: 12 CFR 701.36 requires that a federal credit union with $1 million or more in assets obtain the approval of the Administration before investing in fixed assets in excess of 5% of shares and retained earnings. This section also requires that a federal credit union prepare a definitive plan for full use of premises acquired for future expansion if it has not fully occupied the premises within one year of acquisition, and that a federal credit union that has not at least partially occupied such premises within three years, six years for unimproved real property, obtain Administration approval to continue without partial occupation. This section also requires that a federal credit union that does not dispose of abandoned property within 5 years of abandonment obtain Administration approval to continue to hold the property. Federal credit unions must also obtain Administration approval prior to investing in property from a prohibited party.
