(e)

If the amendment proposes to add a separate employment group to the field of membership; the names and addresses of individuals who represent the group;

If the amendment proposes to add a group with a separate bond of occupation or association, the credit union shall submit evidence:

(A)

That the group does not contain more than 3,000 members;
