Okay... dumb question of the day. What's the easiest way to tell if/when this rule has been published in the Federal Register?

So with this being issued jointly, we look under any of the agencies for publication?

Does this mean we do not have to wait until January 1 to accept evaluations on residential properties less than $400,000?

This final rule is effective on October 9, 2019, except for the amendments in instructions 4, 5, 9, 10, 14, and 15, which are effective on January 1, 2020.

I cannot access the Federal Register document to see those instructions you named.

Am I reading it correctly? It appears to me the rule raising the exemption to $400,000 goes into effect tomorrow, but at the same time it says evaluations will be required beginning January 1. So, we cannot accept evaluations on these properties until January 1?

After tomorrow's amendments, 225.63(b) -- in FRB Reg Y and in differently numbered sections of the OCC and FDIC rules -- will still read: "(b) Evaluations required. For a transaction that does not require the services of a State certified or licensed appraiser under paragraph (a)(1), (a)(5), (a)(7), or (a)(14) of this section, the institution shall obtain an appropriate evaluation of real property collateral that is consistent with safe and sound banking practices."

As of 1/1/20, that gets changed to: "(b) Evaluations required. For a transaction that does not require the services of a State certified or licensed appraiser under paragraphs (a)(1), (5), (7), (14), or (15) of this section, the institution shall obtain an appropriate evaluation of real property collateral that is consistent with safe and sound banking practices."

The only thing that changes is that the eval paragraph will apply to properties exempted under the rural residential exemption. And you already have the option of doing evals on those properties. The 1/1/20 amendment makes it mandatory.
