NCUA Vice Chairman Rick Metsger discussed potential amendments to the agency's risk-based capital rule, including an extended implementation date that could give CUs the opportunity to comment on the final rule before it is implemented. He also said he favors pulling the interest rate risk component out of the rule so that it could be addressed separately.
