On October 28th, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System published an “Interim Final Rule” amending Regulation Z, Truth in Lending Act, or TILA. This interim rule implements Section 129E of the TILA which was enacted in July as Section 1472 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
As AppraiserNews.com has reported, the “Customary and Reasonable Fees” provision bodes well for appraisers, with this part of the act scheduled to be implemented on April 1, 2011. This “Interim Final Rule” has language that concerns appraisers in regard to whether the provisions related to appraisal fees will be truly enacted and not be a bad April Fool’s joke.
