Abstract: The Office of Credit Union Resources and Expansion (CURE) is responsible for the review and approval of charter applications submitted by organizing groups. CURE has implemented a charter modernization process to improve the quality of charter applications received. This will help ensure organizing groups submit a well-thought out, well-developed charter plan to minimize the back and forth communication and improve overall chartering processing times. The information collection is needed to determine the adequacy of a group’s chartering concept and provide guidance, as needed, and would identify the level of understanding an organizing group has before they make a formal charter application submission as prescribed by Appendix B to 12 CFR Part 701 (12 U.S.C. 1758, 1759).
