NCUA proposes delaying RBC rule until 2022; opens comment period
The NCUA Board today moved forward with a proposed rule to further delay the implementation date of its risk-based capital (RBC) rule to Jan. 1, 2022. Additionally, the agency has opened the proposal for a 30-day comment period. NAFCU has led efforts to ensure credit unions and their members benefit from a modern capital regime, working closely with policymakers on Capitol Hill and at the NCUA. During this delay period, the NCUA's current prompt corrective action (PCA) requirements would remain in effect.
At the NCUA Board meeting in October, the agency delayed its RBC rule’s implementation date by one year to Jan. 1, 2020 – but NAFCU continued to push for a longer delay so the NCUA could revise the rule and consider other regulatory changes that will impact credit union capital, including the implementation of the current expected credit loss (CECL) standard. The one year delay will remain in effect until the proposed rule is finalized.
"We appreciate NCUA Chairman Rodney Hood's and Board Member J. Mark McWatters' efforts to provide this additional delay in order to provide the agency more time to reform its risk-based capital rule," said NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger. "As the rule currently stands, NAFCU remains concerned about the regulatory burdens and costs the rule will place on credit unions."
Berger has encouraged the NCUA to "consider its entire rulemaking anew" following the enactment of S. 2155, which made changes to bank capital. Furthermore, a NAFCU-backed provision to delay the rule by two years from its original implementation date passed the House three times in 2018.
The association will continue to encourage the agency to design a true risk-based capital system for credit unions.

[02:27] Having a leader who can really communicate cyber risks and understand how ready that institution is to deal with cyber events is incredibly important. [05:36] We need to be talking about risk openly. We need to be documenting and really understanding what remediating risk looks like and how you do that strategically. [16:38] Governance, risk, compliance, and adherence to regulatory controls are all being looked at much more closely. You are also seeing other technology that is coming into the fold directly responsible for helping CISOs navigate those waters.
