SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Title XI of the Financial Institutions
Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act
of 1989, as amended (Title XI),
established the ASC.1 The purpose of
Title XI is ‘‘to provide that Federal
financial and public policy interests in
real estate related transactions will be
protected by requiring that real estate
appraisals utilized in connection with
federally related transactions are
performed in writing, in accordance
with uniform standards, by individuals
whose competency has been
demonstrated and whose professional
conduct will be subject to effective
supervision.’’ 2 Title XI requires the use
of State licensed or certified appraisers
in federally related transactions.3
Section 1119(b) of Title XI, 12 U.S.C.
3348(b), authorizes the ASC to waive,
on a temporary basis and with approval
of the FFIEC, any certification or
licensing requirement relative to
certifying or licensing individuals to
perform appraisals under Title XI in a
State or geographic political
subdivisions of a State upon a written
determination that there is a scarcity of
certified or licensed appraisers to
perform appraisals in connection with
federally related transactions leading to
significant delays in the performance of
such appraisals. The ASC has issued
procedures 4 governing the processing of
temporary waiver requests. After
receiving a waiver request, the ASC is
required to issue a public notice in the
Federal Register requesting comment on
the request for a proposed temporary
waiver. Within 15 days of the close of
the 30-day comment period, the ASC, by
order, will grant or deny a waiver, in
whole or in part, and upon specified
terms or conditions, including
provisions for waiver termination. If the
ASC approves any or all of the request,
it is subject to approval by the FFIEC.
The ASC’s order granting or denying the

estate related financial transaction which: a) a
