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 (alice@asc.gov or (202) 595–7577), or Dan Rhoads, Attorney-Advisor (dan@asc.gov 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 2 The PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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. two members are designated by the heads of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (12 U.S.C. 3310, 12 U.S.C. 1708(e)). 6 12 U.S.C. 3332.
