Abstract: The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), along with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) (collectively, the Agencies) in 2015 adopted joint regulations to implement statutory requirements to be applied by States in the registration and supervision of appraisal management companies (AMCs). An AMC is an entity that serves as an intermediary for, and provides certain services to, appraisers and lenders. The regulations also implement the statutory requirement that States report to the Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC) of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) the information required by the ASC to administer a national registry of AMCs (AMC National Registry or Registry). FHFA, the OCC, the Board, and the FDIC have agreed to share responsibility for the PRA clearance of the collections of the information under the joint regulations. OMB has assigned FHFA’s portion of the information collection OMB Control Number 2590-0013.
