The letter expressed ICAP's strong opposition to the waiver request sought by TriStar Bank, and stated that "not only that there is NO shortage of appraisers in the Nashville MSA which TriStar lends in, but that the broad impact of the granting of a waiver in this MSA would be catastrophic in its impact to the overall safety and soundness of the underlying lending transactions and the broader public trust". The letted urged the Subcommittee to deny TriStar’s application.

The letter states that reducing appraisal requirements increases risks to the taxpayers, who stand behind FDIC-insured institutions. The letter encourages the Committee on Banking to examine adherence to existing safety and soundness regulations by financial institutions and the underlying business and regulatory environment of real estate appraisers, finding ways to make the appraisal regulatory structure more efficient and attractive to the next generation of appraisers.

The letter states that TriStar’s Temporary Waiver Request is a shocking attempt to sidestep one of the most basic and integral safeguards for housing and the economy at large: verifying and certifying the value of the collateral that is securing a mortgage. Further, the letter contends that the ASC’s authority to “temporarily waive certification or licensing requirements” in a particular area should not be provided in order to make it more convenient for a lender to conduct its business or resolve issues which arise from its business practices.

The letter thanks ICAP for contacting her to share ICAP’s views on S. 2155, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act. The letter goes on to state that after careful consideration, Ms. Duckworth voted against this legislation because she could not support provisions that would weaken prudential standards for large financial institutions that helped cause the 2008 financial crisis or undermine some of the critical consumer protections that were put in place after the Great Recession.

The letter thanks ICAP for contacting him regarding the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (S. 2155). The letter goes on to state that the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, introduced by Senator Mike Crapo of Idaho, would relax a number of financial regulations passed under the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010. The Senator appreciates knowing ICAP's views and will keep them in mind as he continues to work for responsible regulations that enable economic growth while preserving consumer protection and economic security.

As a follow up to ICAP's December 7, 2017 letter, ICAP strongly urge the ASC make public - as the agency has with correspondence received on the request - all correspondence, including the response letter from TriStar Bank. This is critical so the ASC can gather as much information on the scarcity claims from the public and stakeholder organizations.
