Modernization Levers

Medium

Shared services, digital records, open data, risk-based case triage, and clearer public dashboards, scaled to the agency's size.

Administrative Burden Review

Medium

For small institutions, burden often falls on applicants, grantees, regulated parties, or other agencies trying to understand where to go. Plain-language guidance and shared intake usually matter more than headcount cuts.

Duplication & Coordination Review

Medium

Check whether overlap is harmful duplication, a needed independence check, or a coordination problem created by separate statutes.

Risk & Guardrails

Medium

Do not weaken independent enforcement or examination capacity to save short-term administrative dollars.

Innovation Party Proposal

Research draft

Before proposing cuts, require a public-value review of National Credit Union Administration (NCUA): what work is unique, what can move to shared services, which outputs should be public, and which independence safeguards must remain.
