<p>The Board&rsquo;s Advancing Communities through Credit, Education, Stability, and Support (ACCESS) initiative is designed to refresh and modernize regulations, policies, and programs in&nbsp;support of greater financial inclusion within the NCUA and the credit union system. As part of the ACCESS initiative, the Board previously issued a proposed rule to amend its&nbsp;chartering and field of membership regulations. The proposed regulatory amendments would remove outdated requirements, simplify the charter approval process, and clarify&nbsp;regulatory language. The Board will review the comments and consider final action.</p>
