Appraisal Subcommittee of the
Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council.
ACTION: Adoption of revised Policy
Statements.
AGENCY:

SUMMARY: The Appraisal Subcommittee
(ASC) of the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council
requested public comment on a
proposal to revise its Policy Statements 1
providing guidance to ensure State
appraiser regulatory programs
(Programs) 2 comply with Title XI of the
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery,
and Enforcement Act of 1989, as
amended (Title XI).3 Comments were
received from 29 individuals,
companies and State entities. The ASC
has considered comments received in
adopting the revised Policy Statements
as set forth in this notice. The revised
Policy Statements supersede current
Policy Statements on the date set forth
below.
DATES: Effective Date: June 1, 2013.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Alice M. Ritter, General Counsel
([email protected] or (202) 595–7577), or
Dan Rhoads, Attorney-Advisor
([email protected] or (202) 289–2739), or by
mail at Appraisal Subcommittee, 1401 H
Street NW., Suite 760, Washington, DC
20005.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
Title XI was adopted to provide
protection of Federal financial and
public policy interests by establishing
certain requirements for appraisals
performed for federally related
transactions.4 The ASC 5 was
1 77

FR 52721 (Aug. 30, 2012).
50 States, the District of Columbia, and four
Territories, which are the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, Guam, and United States Virgin Islands,
have State appraiser certifying and licensing
agencies with Programs monitored by the ASC
through the Compliance Review process.
3 12 U.S.C. 3331–3355, 12 U.S.C. 1708(e).
4 Any real estate related financial transaction
which: a) a federal financial institutions regulatory
agency engages in, contracts for, or regulates; and
b) requires the services of an appraiser (12 U.S.C.
3350(4)).
5 The ASC Board is comprised of seven members.
Five members are designated by the heads of the
FFIEC agencies (Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and
National Credit Union Administration). The other

established by Title XI to further these
goals. The ASC monitors requirements
established by the States for certification
and licensing of individuals qualified to
perform appraisals in connection with
federally related transactions, including
codes of professional responsibility, and
also maintains the National Registry of
State certified and licensed appraisers.6
The ASC’s obligation to monitor State
Programs for compliance with the
requirements of Title XI is met through
periodic Compliance Reviews of each
State’s Program.
Policy Statements were adopted in
1993 by the ASC to assist States in
developing and maintaining their
Programs in compliance with Title XI,
and were substantively supplemented in
1997 to address issues related to
temporary practice and reciprocity.
Since 1997, the Policy Statements have
remained largely unchanged with the
exception of amendments made in 2008
to Policy Statement 10, Enforcement.
Passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act
(Dodd-Frank Act) in 2010 and
implementation of the ASC’s revised
Compliance Review process in 2009
necessitated revision of the existing
Policy Statements to enhance guidance
for States as they implement changes
required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The
revised Policy Statements are intended
to provide States with the necessary
information to maintain their Programs
in compliance with Title XI. Further,
the revised Policy Statements address
the ASC’s authority to evaluate a State
Program for compliance with Title XI
and to take sanctions against a State
when its Program does not comply with
Title XI. Policy Statements 1 through 7
corresponded with the seven categories
evaluated during the ASC’s Compliance
Review process and included in the
ASC Compliance Review Report to a
State. Policy Statement 8 addresses ASC
procedures for imposition of interim
sanctions against a State for failure to
comply with the requirements of Title
XI.
II. Analysis of Comments Received
The ASC received a total of 29
comments from individuals, States, and
organizations, electronically as well as
by mail, on its proposed Policy
Statements. These comments may be
viewed on the ASC’s Web site under the
Federal Register Documents tab of the
Public Documents Library of Resources
and Records.
