| Summary | 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. |
