Examination Council. 

ACTION: Notice of amendment to rules 

governing frequency of regular meetings 

of the Appraisal Subcommittee. 

SUMMARY: The Appraisal Subcommittee 

(ASC) of the Federal Financial 

Institutions Examination Council is 

amending the following section: 

Section 3.06(e) of the Rules of 

Operation, which addresses the 

scheduling of regular meetings of the 

ASC. As amended, the ASC will meet at 

least once every two months (bimonthly) instead of monthly. 

DATES: Effective Date: Immediately. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

James R. Park, Executive Director, at 

(202) 595–7575, or Alice M. Ritter, 

General Counsel, at (202) 595–7577, via 

Internet email at jim@asc.gov and alice@

asc.gov, respectively, or by U.S. Mail at 

Appraisal Subcommittee, 1401 H Street 

NW., Suite 760, Washington, DC 20005. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ASC, 

on May 29, 1991, adopted Rules of 

Operation, which were published at 56 

FR 28561 (June 21, 1991). The Rules of 

Operation describe, among other things, 

the organization of ASC Meetings, 

notice requirements for Meetings, 

quorum requirements and certain 

practices regarding the disclosure of 

information. The ASC, at its December 

11, 2013 Meeting, voted to approve bimonthly Meetings of the ASC beginning 

in February 2014 rather than monthly 

Meetings. 

The ASC is publishing amended 

Section 3.06(e) to conform with 5 U.S.C. 

552(a)(1)(C), which requires the 

publication of agency rules of operation 

in the Federal Register. The notice and 

publication requirements of 5 U.S.C. 

553 do not apply to the adoption of 

Section 3.06(e) because it is a ‘‘rule of 

agency organization, procedure, or 

practice’’ exempt from the public notice 

and comment process under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(A). 

Based on the foregoing, the ASC 

adopts amended Section 3.06(e) of the 

Rules of Operation, as follows, effective 

immediately: 

Rules of Operation 

* * *
