The statute requires that the ASC Hotline shall include a toll-free telephone number and an email address. Section 1473(p) further directs the ASC to refer complaints received through the ASC Hotline to the appropriate government bodies for further action, which may include referrals to the Agencies, the Federal Reserve Board (Board), the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and State agencies. On January 12, 2011, the ASC determined that a national appraisal hotline did not exist, and a notice of that determination was published in the Federal Register on January 28, 2011 (76 FR 5161). As a result, the ASC established a hotline to refer complaints to appropriate state and Federal regulators. Representatives from the Agencies, the Board, the NCUA, and the CFPB met and established a process to facilitate the referral of complaints received through the ASC Hotline to the appropriate Federal financial institution regulatory agency or agencies. The Agencies, the Board, and the NCUA developed the Interagency Appraisal Complaint Form (IACF) to collect the information necessary to take further action on the complaint. The CFPB incorporated the process into one of their existing systems. Description of the IACF The IACF was developed for use by those who wish to file a formal, written complaint that an entity subject to the jurisdiction of one or more Agencies, the Board, or the NCUA has failed to comply with the appraisal independence standards or USPAP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Application of Separate Limitations to Dividends From Noncontrolled Section 902 Corporations. OMB Number: 1545–2014. Form Number: TD 9452. Abstract: The final regulations require a collection of information in order for a taxpayer to make certain tax elections. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 amended the foreign tax credit treatment of dividends from noncontrolled section 902 corporations effective for post-2002 tax years, and the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005 permitted taxpayers to elect to defer the effective date of these amendments until post-2004 tax years (GOZA election). Treas. Reg. § 1.904–7(f)(9)(ii)(C) requires a taxpayer making the GOZA election to attach a statement to such effect to its next tax return for which the due date (with extensions) is more than 90 days after April 25, 2006. Treas. Reg. § 1.964– 1(c)(3) requires certain shareholders making tax elections (section 964 SUMMARY: OCC Dated: February 17, 2016.

Interagency Appraisal Complaint Form

    Section 1473(p) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 
Protection Act \1\ provides that the Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC) of 
the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) shall 
establish and operate a national hotline (ASC Hotline) to receive 
complaints of non-compliance with the appraisal independence standards 
of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) if 
the ASC determines, six months after enactment of that section (i.e., 
January 21, 2011), that no such national hotline exists. The statute 
requires that the ASC Hotline shall include a toll-free telephone 
number and an email address. Section 1473(p) further directs the ASC to 
refer complaints received through the ASC Hotline to the appropriate 
government bodies for further action, which may include referrals to 
the Agencies, the Federal Reserve Board (Board), the National Credit 
Union Administration (NCUA), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 
(CFPB), and State agencies. On January 12, 2011, the ASC determined 
that a national appraisal hotline did not exist, and a notice of that 
determination was published in the Federal Register on January 28, 2011 
(76 FR 5161). As a result, the ASC established a hotline to refer 
complaints to appropriate state and Federal regulators.
