SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

At its May meeting, the NCUA Board issued a proposed rule to reincorporate the FCU Bylaws into NCUA regulations. 72 FR 30984 (June 5, 2007). NCUA received a request to extend the comment period on the proposed rule for two weeks. Although the Board wants to proceed expeditiously with reincorporation of the Bylaws, it believes a two-week extension will facilitate submission of comments without causing undue delay to the rulemaking process. Accordingly, the comment period for the proposed rule reincorporating the FCU Bylaws into NCUA regulations is extended until August 20, 2007.

By the National Credit Union Administration Board on July 2, 2007.

Mary F. Rupp,

Secretary of the Board.
