Member Business Loans; Commercial Lending
Why this matters
The document is an NCUA interim final rule (91 FR 69495) that removes and reserves § 723.9, a transitional provision covering pre-2017 waivers for borrowing relationship limits and ongoing enforcement constraints under part 723 (member business loans and commercial lending). It is effective November 4, 2026, with comments due January 4, 2027. The text states that grandfathered loans remain grandfathered and that enforcement constraints are unaffected by the removal. The rule applies to federally insured credit unions. Lending is the main subject, and the borrowing-limit and enforcement-constraint provisions relate to safety and soundness, so Prudential / Capital Requirements is the closest topic. Urgency is low because the change is a cleanup with no new compliance burden, though the rule carries a date and a comment window.
