GAO            United States
               General Accounting Office
               Washington, D.C. 20548

               Office of the General Counsel


               B-281803



               January 14, 1999

               The Honorable Phil Gramm
               Chairman
               The Honorable Paul S. Sarbanes
               Ranking Minority Member
               Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs
               United States Senate

               The Honorable Jim Leach
               Chairman
               The Honorable John J. LaFalce
               Ranking Minority Member
               Committee on Banking and Financial Services
               House of Representatives

               Subject: National Credit Union Administration: Organization and Operations of
                         Federal Credit Unions

               Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on
               a major rule promulgated by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA),
               entitled Organization and Operations of Federal Credit Unions (IRPS 99-1). We
               received the rule on December 23, 1998. It was published in the Federal Register as
               a final rule on December 30, 1998. 63 Fed. Reg. 71998.

               The final rule implements the changes made to the NCUA's chartering and field of
               membership authority by the Credit Union Membership Access Act (Pub. L. 105-219,
               August 7, 1998). Section 205 of the act requires that any regulation issued by the
               NCUA which defines or amends the definition of the terms immediate family or
               household and well-defined local community, neighborhood, or rural district shall
               be treated as a major rule for purposes of chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code.

               Enclosed is our assessment of the NCUA's compliance with the procedural steps
               required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
               Our review indicates that the NCUA complied with the applicable requirements.
