NCUA Board. Late Thursday, the Senate confirmed, in action taken by unanimous consent, Rick Metsger for the National Credit Union Administration Board. Metsger, a Democrat, succeeds Gigi Hyland who left the Board in October of 2012. Metsger's term will run until August 2, 2017.
Current Board Member Michael Fryzel, the lone Republican on the Board, recently announced his decision to remain on the NCUA Board until his successor is confirmed. Fryzel's term officially ended on Friday but NCUA Board Members have the ability to remain until a successor is confirmed.

On December 20, 2012, President Obama signed the ATM Fee Disclosure Bill which removed the federal requirement for an "on the machine" fee notice for ATMs (the CFPB officially amended Reg E in March).

New York was one of those states until action Thursday by Governor Andrew Cuomo to remove the requirement from New York law.
