FDIC Advisory Committee of State 

Regulators; Notice of Establishment 

AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance 

Corporation (FDIC). 

ACTION: Notice of establishment of the 

FDIC Advisory Committee of State 

Regulators. 

SUMMARY: The Chairman of the FDIC is 

establishing the FDIC Advisory 

Committee of State Regulators (the 

ACSR). The ASCR will provide advice 

and recommendations to the FDIC on a 

broad range of policy issues regarding 

the regulation of state-chartered 

financial institutions throughout the 

United States, including its territories. 

The ACSR will provide a forum where 

state regulators and the FDIC can 

discuss a variety of current and 

emerging issues that have potential 

implications regarding the regulation 

and supervision of state-chartered 

financial institutions. The ACSR is 

intended to facilitate regular discussion 

of: Safety and soundness and consumer 

protection issues; the creation of new 

banks; the protection of our nation’s 

financial system from risks such as 

cyber-attacks or money laundering; and 

other timely issues. The ACSR will 

serve solely in an advisory capacity and 

will have no final decision-making 

authority, nor will it have access to or 

discuss any non-public, confidential or 

institution-specific information. The 

Chairman certifies that the 

establishment of the ACSR is in the 

public interest in connection with the 

performance of duties imposed on the 

FDIC by law. ACSR members will not 

receive any compensation for their 

services other than reimbursement for 

reasonable travel expenses incurred to 

attend ACSR meetings. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert E. Feldman, Executive Secretary, 

FDIC, 550 17th Street NW, Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the requirements of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, notice is 

hereby given that the Chairman of the 

FDIC intends to establish the FDIC 

ACSR. After consultation with the 

General Services Administration as 

required by section 9(a)(2) of FACA and 

41 CFR 102–3.65, the Chairman of the 

FDIC certifies that she has determined 

that the establishment of the ACSR is in 

the public interest in connection with 

the performance of duties imposed on 

the FDIC by law. The ACSR will 

function solely as an advisory body, and 

in compliance with the provisions of 

FACA. To ensure relevant expertise on 

the ACSR, members of the ACSR should 

include regulators of state-chartered 

financial institutions from across the 

United States, including its territories, 

or other individuals with expertise in 

the regulation of state-chartered 

financial institutions.

[Docket No. AS19–09] 

Appraisal Subcommittee; Notice of 

Termination of Residential Temporary 

Waiver Relief 

AGENCY: Appraisal Subcommittee of the 

Federal Financial Institutions 

Examination Council. 

ACTION: Notice of termination of 

residential temporary waiver relief. 

SUMMARY: The Appraisal Subcommittee 

(ASC) of the Federal Financial 

Institutions Examination Council 

(FFIEC) is providing notice of 

termination of temporary waiver relief 

of appraiser credentialing requirements 

for appraisals of federally related 

transactions (FRTs) under $500,000 for 

1-to-4 family residential real estate 

transactions throughout the State of 

North Dakota which was granted by 

Order for a period of one year pursuant 

to section 1119(b) of Title XI of the 

Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, 

and Enforcement Act of 1989, as 

amended (Title XI) and the rules 

promulgated thereunder. The Order 

provided that the temporary waiver for 

residential real estate transactions 

would terminate 60 days after the 

effective date of a final rule issued by 

the federal banking agencies increasing 

the appraisal exemption threshold limit 

for residential real estate transactions. 

The federal banking agencies issued a 

final rule that increased the appraisal 

exemption threshold for residential real 

estate transactions with an effective date 

of October 9, 2019. The Order specified 

that the temporary waiver for residential 

real estate transactions will terminate 60 

days after the effective date of that rule, 

which will occur on December 8, 2019. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

James R. Park, Executive Director, at 

(202) 595–7575, or Alice M. Ritter, 

General Counsel, at (202) 595–7577, 

ASC, 1325 G Street NW, Suite 500, 

Washington, DC 20005. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1119(b) of Title XI authorizes the ASC 

to waive, on a temporary basis and with 

concurrence of the FFIEC, ‘‘any 

requirement relating to certification or 

licensing of a person to perform 

appraisals under [Title XI]’’ upon ‘‘a 

written determination that there is a 

scarcity of certified or licensed 

appraisers to perform appraisals in 

connection with [FRTs] 1 in a State, or 

in any geographical political 

subdivision of a State, leading to 

significant delays in the performance of 

such appraisals.’’ 2 The ASC has 

promulgated regulations that set forth 

procedures 3 governing the processing of 

temporary waiver requests. 

On August 1, 2018, the Governor of 

North Dakota, the North Dakota 

Department of Financial Institutions, 

and the North Dakota Bankers 

Association (Requester) submitted a 

temporary waiver request to the ASC. 

The Requester sought a temporary 

waiver of not less than five years of 

appraiser credentialing requirements for 

appraisals of FRTs under $500,000 for 1- 

to-4 family residential real estate 

transactions and under $1,000,000 for 

agricultural and commercial real estate 

transactions throughout the State of 

North Dakota.4

On July 9, 2019, the ASC convened a 

Special Meeting to consider the request. 

Based on the information provided by 

the Requester, the North Dakota Real 

Estate Appraiser Qualifications and 

Ethics Board (Appraiser Board), and by 

the public through comment letter 

submissions, the ASC issued an Order 

approving a limited version of the 

waiver request.5

The Order, which was published in 

the Federal Register,6 in pertinent part 

included the following: 

• A temporary waiver of appraiser 

credentialing requirements for 

appraisals of FRTs under $500,000 for 

1-to-4 family residential real estate 

transactions throughout the State of 

North Dakota for a period of one year, 

unless the federal banking agencies 

issue a rule increasing appraisal 

exemption threshold limits for 

residential real estate transactions, in 

which case the residential waiver will 

terminate 60 days after the effective date 

of that threshold increase. 

The federal banking agencies issued a 

final rule increasing the appraisal 

exemption threshold limits for 

residential real estate transactions with 

an effective date of October 9, 2019.7

The temporary waiver for residential 

real estate transactions terminates by its 

own terms 60 days after the effective 

date of that rule, which will occur on 

December 8, 2019.
