Abstract: Part 702 of NCUA’s prompt corrective action (PCA) regulations require that credit unions taking certain risks hold capital commensurate with those risks. The risk-based capital provisions of the 2015 final rule (10/29/2015; 80 FR 66626) apply only to federally insured, natural-person credit unions (credit unions) with quarter-end total assets exceeding $100 million. The overarching intent of the 2015 final rule is to reduce the likelihood that a relatively small number of high-risk outlier credit unions would exhaust their capital and cause large losses to the NCUSIF. Under the Federal Credit Union Act, federally insured credit unions are collectively responsible for replenishing losses to the NCUSIF. The 2015 final rule restructures NCUA’s PCA regulations and makes various revisions, including amending the agency’s current risk-based net worth requirement by replacing the risk-based net worth ratio with a new risk-based capital ratio for credit unions. The 2015 final rule is currently set to become effective on January 1, 2019. This proposed rule (8/08/2018; 83 FR 38997) would amend the 2015 final rule by delaying the effective date to January 1, 2020, and increasing the threshold level for coverage from $100 million to $500 million.
