    The National Credit Union Administration Board is responsible for
    chartering, insuring, supervising, and examining Federal credit unions
    and administering the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. The
    Board also administers the Community Development Revolving Loan Fund and
    manages the Central Liquidity Facility, a mixed-ownership Government
    corporation whose purpose is to supply emergency loans to member credit
    unions.

    [[Page 600]]

    The National Credit Union Administration was established by act of March
    10, 1970 (12 U.S.C. 1752), and reorganized by act of November 10, 1978
    (12 U.S.C. 226), as an independent agency in the executive branch of the
    Federal Government. It regulates and insures all Federal credit unions
    and insures State-chartered credit unions that apply and qualify for
    share insurance.

    Activities

    Chartering  The Administration's Board grants Federal credit union
    charters to groups sharing a common bond of occupation or association,
    or groups within a well-defined neighborhood, community, or rural
    district. A preliminary investigation is made to determine if certain
    minimum standards are met before granting a Federal charter.

    For further information, contact the appropriate regional office listed
    in the table below.

    Supervision  Supervisory activities are carried out through annual
    examiner contacts and through periodic policy and regulatory releases
    from the Administration. The Administration also maintains a warning
    system designed to identify emerging problems as well as to monitor
    operations between examinations.

    Examinations  The Administration conducts annual examinations of Federal
    credit unions to determine their solvency and compliance with laws and
    regulations and to assist credit union management and operations.

    For further information, contact the Director, Office of Examination and
    Insurance. Phone, 703-518-6360.

    Share Insurance  The act of October 19, 1970 (12 U.S.C. 1781 et seq.),
    provides for a program of share insurance. The insurance is mandatory
    for Federal credit unions and for State-chartered credit unions in many
    States and is optional for other State-chartered credit unions that meet
    Administration standards. Credit union members' accounts are insured up
    to $100,000. The National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund requires
    each insured credit union to place and maintain a 1-percent deposit of
    its insured savings with the Fund.

    For further information, contact the Director, Office of Examination and
    Insurance. Phone, 703-518-6360.
