[Federal Register Volume 64, Number 145 (Thursday, July 29, 1999)] [Notices] [Pages 41142-41166] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 99-19355] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NATIONAL CREDIT UNION ADMINISTRATION Central Liquidity Facility AGENCY: National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). ACTION: Notice with request for comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: NCUA's Central Liquidity Facility (CLF) has in place form documents that reflect the repayment, security, and credit reporting (RSCR) terms applicable to all CLF liquidity loans. The NCUA Board is updating and revising these terms and forms and, in addition, issuing two new forms. These modifications are intended to ensure that CLF will efficiently meet the liquidity needs of credit unions through Year 2000 and beyond. NCUA regulations require publishing any modifications to these terms and forms in the Federal Register. Also, the NCUA is requesting comments on the collection of information burden imposed by these modifications in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 18, 1999. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Herbert S. Yolles, President, CLF, at the above address or telephone (703) 518-6360 or Frank S. Kressman, Staff Attorney, Division of Operations, Office of General Counsel, at the above address or telephone: (703) 518-6540. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CLF is a mixed-ownership government corporation within the NCUA. It is managed by the NCUA Board and is owned by its member credit unions. CLF's purpose is to improve the general stability of credit unions by meeting their liquidity needs. CLF recognizes that credit unions' liquidity needs may increase dramatically and temporarily as a result of Year 2000 circumstances. Accordingly, CLF has revised the RSCR terms governing all CLF liquidity loans and has taken measures to ensure that all credit unions have full access to CLF services. These actions will help ensure that CLF will be able to meet increased liquidity demand related to Year 2000. The Request for Funds Form and the Liquidity Need Loan Application have been newly created to reflect revisions to the RSCR terms. The CLF Agent Member Application Form, Agent Member RSCR Agreement and Agent Group Representative RSCR Agreement have been revised to reflect revisions to the RSCR terms. These five documents are published for notice and comment. A brief summary of the purposes of these documents follows and the full text of each can be found in Appendix ``A'' below. The Request for Funds Form serves as the official request for a liquidity loan from the CLF. It is submitted by a corporate credit union that is an agent member of the CLF (Agent Member) or an agent group representative (Agent Group Representative), as those terms are defined in part 725. This form provides information necessary to process a liquidity loan including the identity of the natural person credit union borrower, the loan amount and the purpose for the loan. The Liquidity Need Loan Application contains the terms and conditions of the relationship between an Agent Member, its natural person credit union member, and its Agent Group Representative in the context of requesting liquidity loans. The CLF Agent Member Application Form is to be used by corporate credit unions that wish to apply for Agent Member status. The Agent Member RSCR Agreement contains the terms and conditions of the relationship between an Agent Member and the CLF in the context of transacting CLF liquidity loans. The Agent Group Representative RSCR Agreement contains the terms and conditions of the relationship between an Agent Group Representative and the CLF in the context of transacting CLF liquidity loans.
