Chartering and Field of Membership for Federal Credit Unions-Interpretive Ruling and Policy Statement 10-1
Plain English Summary
The NCUA Board has decided to eliminate a previous policy statement (IRPS 10-1) regarding the chartering and membership rules for federal credit unions. This change means that federal credit unions will now follow the updated Chartering Manual, which includes all the necessary requirements. This update simplifies the process for credit unions by reducing the number of documents they need to review to ensure they are following the rules. Agents should familiarize themselves with the Chartering Manual to assist their clients effectively.

The NCUA Board (Board) is rescinding Interpretive Ruling and Policy Statement (IRPS) 10-1. The Chartering and Field of Membership Manual (Chartering Manual) incorporates NCUA's current chartering requirements for federal credit unions (FCUs), making IRPS 10-1 unnecessary. This rescission reduces the burden for FCUs by limiting the number of sources that they must check to verify compliance with applicable requirements. After considering the public comments, the Board adopts the proposal without modification.
