FRB Contact person for new regulations

I apologize for the delay in making this post. MT

From Dave Towne, the direct contact person at the Federal Reserve Board where you can send a letter to discuss your personal AMC and Customary and Reasonable Fee situations, or anything else having to do with appraiser independence.

Please do so in the next few days, as new appraisal regulations are being drafted now, with implementation set for October, or perhaps sooner.

Here is the contact information for the person at the Fed that is handling the Interim rulemaking on appraiser independence (including customary & reasonable fees):

Ms. Sandra Braunstein
Director
Division of Consumer and Community Affairs
Federal Reserve Board
1709 New York Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20006

I strongly suggest you provide your own letter in your own words, rather than rely on ‘template’ content from another source. Keep it short and to the point.

The FRB needs to hear from as many ‘boots on the ground’ appraisers as possible.

Dave Towne
