Original Source Material

The NCUA Board (Board) is publishing this proposed rule to remove a provision of NCUA regulations regarding federal credit unions' (FCUs) statutory lien authority. The Board believes it is redundant to continue to include a definition of the term "except as otherwise provided by law or except as otherwise provided by federal law" when it is axiomatic that a law that supersedes this regulation would be controlling. The provision does not provide any assistance to FCUs in determining whether such statutory or case law exists, therefore it has no material value.
