  6. Unimproved Property Unimproved land or unimproved real property means: Raw land or land without development; Land that has never had improvements; Land that was improved at one time but has functionally reverted to its unimproved state; or Land that has been improved, but the improvements serve no purpose for the federal credit union’s planned use of the property.
  7. Partially Occupied Property The credit union must occupy the property on a full-time basis, or a portion of the premises that is: Consistent with the federal credit union’s usage plan for the premises; Significant enough that the federal credit union is deriving practical utility from the occupied portion, relative to the scope of the usage plan; and Sufficient to show that the federal credit union will fully occupy the premises within a reasonable time.
  8. NCUA Waiver Process To seek a waiver: The federal credit union must submit a written request to its Regional Office. The Regional Director will inform the federal credit union, in writing, that the request was received. Within 45 days of the request the Regional Director will provide the federal credit union a written response. The Regional Director’s decision will be based on safety and soundness considerations.
