SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Government Performance and Results Act 
of 1993 (GPRA) requires agencies to prepare strategic plans, annual 
performance plans and annual performance reports with measurable 
performance indicators to address the policy, budgeting and oversight 
needs of both Congress and agency leaders, partners/stakeholders, and 
program managers. In 2010, Congress passed the GPRA Modernization Act 
of 2010, which further requires a leadership-driven governance model 
with emphasis on quarterly reviews and transparency. The GPRA 
Modernization Act requires agencies to set priority goals linked to 
longer-term Agency strategic goals. Part 6 of Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) Circular A-11 provides additional guidance and 
requirements for federal agencies to implement these laws. The NCUA 
Draft Strategic Plan 2018-2022 is issued pursuant to the GPRA, the GPRA 
Modernization Act, and OMB Circular A-11.
    The NCUA 2018-2022 Draft Strategic Plan outlines how the agency 
will continue to effectively supervise and insure a growing and 
evolving credit union system. As the financial services and the credit 
union sector evolve, NCUA must adjust to meet the challenges the 
changes provide. In response, we are adopting new technology and 
analytical tools to improve the agency's offsite monitoring 
capabilities. Additionally, we are recalibrating our examination 
approach to reflect a more stable economic environment. We also are 
revising the agency's operations, priorities and structure to ensure 
our objectives match those prescribed in the Federal Credit Union Act, 
while at the same time efficiently using the agency's resources.
    In the years ahead, NCUA also plans to advance meaningful 
regulatory relief by fully reevaluating our rules and working to modify 
them as appropriate, improving the uniformity of

examinations, implementing an improved examination appeals process, and 
mitigating the largest risks to the Share Insurance Fund.
    By publishing the proposed NCUA 2018-2022 Strategic Plan in the 
Federal Register, as well as posting it on our Web site at 
www.ncua.gov, NCUA continues its ongoing commitment to transparency 
about the agency's future plans and actions.
    The NCUA 2018-2022 Draft Strategic Plan is available at the 
following Web address: https://www.ncua.gov/About/Pages/budget-strategic-planning/annual-plan.aspx.

    By the National Credit Union Administration Board on September 
28, 2017.
Gerard Poliquin,
Secretary of the Board.
