NCUA’s Fall 2021 rulemaking agenda is lengthy compared to FinCEN’s and the CFPB’s. Because this blog is focused on forthcoming actions in 2022, and for the sake of brevity, I will exclude any rulemaking activity on the agenda that has already been completed (such as final rules adopted by the NCUA Board in November or December 2021).
