== Appraisal Subcommittee ==
The Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC) of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) was established to oversee the real estate appraisal regulatory framework for federally related transactions.
{{Official URL|text=asc.gov|url=https://www.asc.gov}}
=== Purpose: ===
The ASC was created by Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA). Its primary role is to provide federal oversight of State appraiser and appraisal management company (AMC) regulatory programs. It also monitors the Appraisal Foundation and the Federal Financial Institutions Regulatory Agencies to protect federal financial and public policy interests in real estate appraisals.
=== Functions ===
* Monitoring State Programs: ASC ensures that state appraiser regulatory programs comply with Title XI requirements. This involves monitoring certification and licensing of appraisers.
* National Registry: ASC maintains a national registry of state-certified and -licensed appraisers eligible to perform appraisals in federally related transactions.
* Grants: It has the authority to make grants to the Appraisal Foundation and state agencies to support their activities related to Title XI compliance.
=== Membership: ===
The ASC consists of seven members, each designated by the heads of their respective federal financial institutions regulatory agencies.
=== Operational Activities: ===
ASC holds meetings at least four times a year, which are open to the public. These meetings discuss various aspects of appraisal regulation, compliance, and policy decisions.
=== Cybersecurity and Compliance: ===
With the increasing role of digital transactions in finance, the ASC, as part of the broader FFIEC, has emphasized cybersecurity. This includes initiatives to help financial institutions manage and mitigate cyber risks.
