AGENCY: National Credit Union Administration.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board has 
appointed Roger Blake, Senior Information Systems Officer, Office of 
Examination and Insurance, to act as the NCUA Board's liaison for 
purposes of section 18(b) of the Y2K Act, Public Law 106-37. Mr. Blake 
will act as the liaison between the Board and certain credit unions 
with respect to problems arising out of Y2K failures and compliance 
with federal rules or regulations. Any federal credit union, or 
federally-insured credit union, that employs less than 50 full-time 
employees may seek Y2K-related assistance from Mr. Blake.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Roger Blake, National Credit Union 
Administration (NCUA), Office of Examination and Insurance, 1775 Duke 
Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314-3428. Mr. Blake's phone number is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The liaison appointed pursuant to the Y2K 
Act will assist regulated ``small business concerns'' with respect to 
problems arising out of Y2K failures and compliance with federal rules 
or regulations. The Y2K Act defines a small business concern as an 
unincorporated business, partnership, corporation, association, or 
organization with fewer than 50 full-time employees. In addition, the 
Y2K Act defines ``Y2K failure'' as failure by any device or system 
(including any computer system and any microchip or integrated circuit 
embedded in another device or product), or any software, firmware, or 
other set or collection of processing instructions to process, 
calculate, compare, sequence, display, store, transmit, or receive 
Year-2000 data. This definition specifically includes failures to (1) 
deal with or account for transitions of comparisons from, into, and 
between the years 1999 and 2000 accurately; (2) recognize or process 
accurately any specific date in 1999, 2000, or 2001; or (3) account 
accurately for the year 2000's status as a leap year, including 
recognition and processing of the correct date on February 29, 2000.
