Summary:

The FDIC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the Agencies) jointly issued an amended rule titled Real Estate Appraisals (Appraisal Rule), which will be published in the Federal Register. The Appraisal Rule increases the current appraisal threshold for commercial real estate (CRE) transactions from $250,000 to $500,000. The Appraisal Rule addresses comments received during the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act (EGRPRA) review process, which requires that, not less than once every ten years, the Agencies, along with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, conduct a review of the Agencies' regulations to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary or burdensome regulatory requirements.

Statement of Applicability to Institutions Under $1 Billion in Total Assets: This Financial Institution Letter applies to all FDIC-supervised institutions.
