Minimum Requirements for Appraisal
Management Companies Final Rule - The FDIC, OCC, Board, NCUA,
Bureau, and FHFA (collectively, the Agencies) are adopting a final
rule to implement the minimum requirements in the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) to
be applied by participating States in the registration and
supervision of appraisal management companies (AMCs). The final
rule also implements the minimum requirements in the Dodd-Frank Act
for AMCs that are subsidiaries owned and controlled by an insured
depository institution and regulated by a Federal financial
institutions regulatory agency (Federally regulated AMCs). Under
the final rule, these Federally regulated AMCs do not need to
register with a State, but are subject to the same minimum
requirements as State regulated AMCs. The final rule also
implements the requirement for States to report to the Appraisal
Subcommittee (ASC) of the Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council (FFIEC) the information required by the ASC to
administer the new national registry of AMCs (AMC National
Registry). In conjunction with this implementation, the FDIC is
integrating its appraisal regulations for State nonmember banks and
State savings associations.
