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 eighteen members nominated by the ASC 
Executive Director and approved by the Chairman of the ASC in 
consultation with ASC members. ASCAC members 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 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.
