The NCUA Board has issued a final rule amending regulations for corporate credit unions. This rule clarifies that corporate credit unions are allowed to purchase subordinated debt instruments from natural person credit unions and outlines how these investments will be treated in terms of capital.

This amendment takes effect on January 1, 2022.

The Federal Communications Commission has decided to use adjustment factor values in the 5G Fund auctions to direct more support to areas that are harder to serve due to challenges like varying terrain and lower household income. These adjustment factors will also be applied to the method for distributing legacy high-cost support, meaning that regions with different costs of deployment will receive appropriately adjusted funding. While some concerns were raised about these factors not accounting for all possible costs, the Commission believes that their use will help ensure that funding is allocated more fairly and efficiently, particularly to less profitable areas. These decisions aim to encourage bids for serving tough-to-reach locations, thereby boosting the deployment of 5G services across the United States.

The rule also mandates more robust state accountability measures, including detailed participant notifications about their work requirements and better data collection on participant outcomes.
