The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board dismissed an appeal of a low-income state chartered credit union's secondary capital plan on procedural grounds.
The unnamed low-income credit union on January 11, 2019 applied to a unspecified NCUA Region for the authority to accept secondary capital. This unnamed credit union may be Freedom Northwest Credit Union (Kamiah, ID), which had its secondary capital plan denied earlier this year.
The NCUA Region on February 25 denied the credit union'e request. On March 18, 2019, the low-income credit union made a written request for reconsideration. Upon reconsideration, the Region upheld its initial decision and denied the credit union's request to accept secondary capital in a letter dated April 24, 2019.
The credit union on May 17, 2019 appealed the decision to NCUA's Supervisory Review Committee. The credit union stated that the approval or disapproval of a secondary capital plan resided with the state regulator and only required the concurrence of NCUA.
On June 4, 2019, the Region issued a letter to the credit union stating that it had erred in its determination of the credit union's secondary capital plan without a prior approval or disapproval of the state regulator and rescinded its findings.
Because the Region had rescinded its determination, the Supervisory Review Committee on June 5, 2019 concluded it did not have jurisdiction to review the matter.
On July 1, 2019, the credit union appealed to the NCUA Board the decision by the Supervisory Review Committee stating that its findings were inconsistent with applicable law and should be reversed. The credit union also requested an oral hearing.
The NCUA Board on July 18, 2019 denied the request for an oral hearing and affirmed the decision of the Supervisory Review Committee.
