Regulatory comment deadlines approaching

May 19, 2026

Comment deadlines for several regulatory proposals are approaching, and America’s Credit Unions issued Regulatory Comment alerts on each, providing information and impact to credit unions for submissions. Credit unions are also encouraged to send information to help frame up America’s Credit Unions’ own comment letter based on credit union feedback.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposal on offshore call centers

To require telecommunications providers that use offshore call centers to restrict their usage of such call centers, ensure that staff at those call centers adhere to specific language proficiencies, and limit the types of information that can be taken at those call centers. 

  • Send comments to America’s Credit Unions by May 19, and to the FCC by May 26.

Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) proposal on anti-money laundering/countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) programs

To formalize risk assessment requirements, incorporate AML/CFT priorities into program design, distinguish between program establishment and maintenance, and expand FinCEN’s role in certain supervisory and enforcement matters. 

  • Comments can be sent to America’s Credit Unions by May 25, and to FinCEN by June 9.

NCUA proposal on AML/CFT programs

Joint proposal with other financial regulators to amend AML/CFT program rules to align with FinCEN’s concurrent proposal. It would replace the traditional Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) compliance program framework with a more explicit risk-based AML/CFT program standard, reaffirm core program elements, and give FinCEN a more formal role in certain supervisory and enforcement matters. 

  • The deadline for comments to America’s Credit Unions is May 25, and to NCUA is June 9.
