Sherrod Brown (D-OH) – Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs – released the following statement after the Biden Administration announced the nomination of Tanya Otsuka to be a member of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) board. Currently, Otsuka works for Chair Brown as Senior Counsel for the Senate Banking and Housing Committee.“Tanya Otsuka is an exceptional choice to serve as a National Credit Union Administration board member. As a public servant, Ms. Otsuka has dedicated her entire career to fighting for consumers, credit unions and other small financial institutions, and a strong financial system,” said Brown. “On the Banking and Housing Committee, she has earned a reputation as a respected leader, reliable teammate, and a trusted advisor. She will bring a fresh perspective and support for the President’s work to build an economy centered on working families. If confirmed, she would be the first Asian American to serve on the NCUA Board in the agency’s 53 year history. I fully support her historic nomination and urge my colleagues to do the same.”ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Sept. 21, 2023) – National Credit Union Administration Chairman Todd M. Harper issued a statement welcoming President Joseph R. Biden’s nomination of Tanya Otsuka of Virginia to the NCUA Board:“Tanya Otsuka is a committed public servant and a well-qualified nominee to serve on the NCUA Board. Tanya’s past work has strengthened the U.S. financial system, protected consumers, and advanced the ability of credit unions to innovate and compete. Tanya would also bring a different point of view to the work of the agency as the first Asian-American NCUA Board Member. If confirmed, I look forward to working with Tanya to protect the deposits of America’s nearly 138 million credit union members and to expand access to safe, fair, and affordable financial services to under-resourced communities. I hope the Senate acts quickly on her nomination.”

The guidance provides guidance to federal banking regulatory agencies on prudent commercial real estate loan accommodations and workouts. The main points are:Regulators will not criticize financial institutions for engaging in prudent loan workout arrangements with creditworthy borrowers, even if the modified loans are adversely classified due to weaknesses.Modified loans to borrowers who can repay according to reasonable terms will not be adversely classified solely due to declines in collateral value below the loan balance.The guidance covers risk management expectations, loan classification, regulatory reporting, and accounting considerations for commercial real estate loan accommodations and workouts.Short-term accommodations are encouraged as a tool to help borrowers, and the guidance provides principles for prudent risk management of these accommodations.For loan workouts, regulators will evaluate the effectiveness of a financial institution's practices, including having appropriate policies, documentation standards, risk monitoring, and regulatory reporting processes.The guidance provides principles for classification of renewed/restructured loans, problem loans dependent on collateral for repayment, and restructurings with partial charge-offs.The statement emphasizes coordination between the loan workout function and accounting/regulatory reporting staff.Appendices provide loan workout examples, relevant supervisory guidance and rules, valuation concepts, adverse classification definitions, and a summary of current expected credit loss accounting.In summary, the guidance aims to promote consistent supervisory approaches and transparency for commercial real estate loan accommodations and workouts. The goal is to avoid impeding credit availability to sound borrowers while maintaining prudent lending practices.Here Vin's take on why this is A+ guidance.
