SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Committee was 

established in accordance with the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, as 

amended, 5. U.S.C. App. The Committee 

is composed of seventeen members 

nominated by the ASC Executive 

Director and approved by the Chairman 

of the ASC in consultation with ASC 

members. ASCAC members will 

represent a balance of expertise across 

the broad range of industry participants, 

including appraisers, lenders, consumer 

advocates, real estate agents, and 

government agencies. All ASCAC 

members will have extensive experience 

concerning the appraiser regulatory 

framework for federally related 

transactions. 

The ASC oversees the real estate 

appraisal process as it relates to 

federally related transactions as defined 

in Title XI of the Financial Institutions 

Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act 

of 1989. The 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall 

Street Reform and Consumer Protection 

Act included amendments to Title XI 

and expanded the ASC’s authority to 

include rulemaking authority in four 

areas: 

(1) Temporary practice; (2) national 

registries; (3) information sharing; and 

(4) enforcement. The ASC is primarily 

seeking independent advice from 

ASCAC concerning sanctions ASCAC 

deems advisable for purposes of 

enforcement of regulations promulgated 

by the ASC to State appraiser regulatory 

programs.
