The Senate Banking Committee will vote on Feb. 26 on the nominations of Rodney Hood and Todd Harper to serve on the NCUA board.
The confirmation vote could be an indication that the Senate intends to move quickly on the nominations, which have attracted no visible opposition.

And it likely is a sign that Senate leaders may intend to pair the nominations of Hood, a Republican and Harper, a Democrat when they get to the floor. Pairing nominations often make confirmation votes easier in the Senate.
If confirmed, Hood would replace board member Rick Metsger, while Harper would occupy the seat vacated by former board Chairwoman Debbie Matz in April 2016. It would mean that the board has full membership for the first time since Matz left.
Only two of the three NCUA board members may belong to the president's political party.
Hood serves as a corporate responsibility manager for JPMorgan Chase, where he manages national partnerships with groups that work on community development, civil rights and with the disabled community. He served a previous stint on the NCUA board.
President Trump had nominated Hood last year, but the nomination expired at the end of the 115th Congress. He did not nominate a Democratic member of the board last year.
Harper is the former NCUA director of public and congressional affairs and served as Matz's chief policy advisor.
