A credit union which has failed to apply or which has been denied a commitment for such insurance shall within 60 days of the denial of the commitment or 1 year after the date of enactment, whichever is earlier, commence steps to liquidate, or merge with an insured credit union, or apply in writing to the commissioner for an extension of time to obtain an insurance commitment.
The commissioner may grant one or more extensions of time, but not exceeding 1 year in the aggregate, for the credit union to obtain an insurance commitment if there is satisfactory evidence that the credit union has made or is making a substantial effort to achieve the financial condition necessary to effectuate an issuance of an insurance commitment.
