   Sec. 3. Section 16 of the Federal Credit Union Act, as amended (U. S.

S. C., secs. 61 Stat. 646. 6–13), as an acceptable surety on Federal bonds. Any such bond or bonds shall be in a form approved by the Director with a view to pro-viding surety coverage to the Federal credit union with reference to loss by reason of acts of fraud or dishonesty including forgery, theft, embezzlement, wrongful abstraction or misapplication on the part of the person, directly or through connivance with others, and such other surety coverages as the Director may determine to be reasonably appropriate or as elsewhere required by this chapter. Any such bond or bonds shall be in an amount in relation to the money or other personal property involved or in relation to the assets of the Federal credit union as the Director may from time to time prescribe by regulation for the purpose of requiring reasonable coverage. In lieu of individual bonds the Director may approve the use of a form of schedule or blanket bond which covers all of the officers and employees of a Federal credit union whose duties include the receipt, payment, or custody of money or other personal property for or on behalf of the Federal credit union. The Director may also approve the use of a form of excess coverage bond whereby a Federal credit union may obtain an amount of coverage in excess of the basic surety coverage.”
