H.R. 3619 would authorize the Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC) of the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council to change annual registry fees paid by appraisal
management companies-independent entities that supply appraisal services to mortgage
lenders. (The ASC oversees states' licensing and certification of real estate appraisers and
appraisal management companies.) The act would require the ASC to maintain a national
registry of trainee appraisers and require states to collect a registry fee from those trainees.
H.R 3619 also would require the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to provide
information about appraisal fees on standard mortgage disclosure forms and to add
information about appraisal fees to its Integrated Disclosure Rule forms. Finally, the act
would place a representative of the Department of Veteran Affairs on the ASC.

Using information from the ASC, CBO estimates that the states would collect $200,000 a
year, or $2 million over the 2020-2029 period, from trainee appraisers and would then
transfer those funds to the Treasury. (Those transfers from the states would be recorded on
the federal budget as revenues.) The ASC is authorized to spend those receipts without
further appropriation to support its activities, which include making grants to state appraisal
agencies. CBO estimates that the net effect on the deficit would be insignificant because the
ASC would probably spend those receipts soon after they became available. Using
information from the CFPB, CBO estimates that the agency would spend less than $500,000
to issue final rules to change its disclosure forms in 2020.
