IT'S THE LAW- Statement 7: Prohibition Against Discrimination
State agencies should be aware that Title XI and the Agencies' regulations prohibit federally regulated financial institutions from excluding appraisers from consideration for an assignment by virtue of their membership, or lack of membership, in any appraisal organization. Federally regulated financial institutions should review the qualifications of appraisers to ensure that they are qualified for the assignment for which they are being considered. It is unacceptable to assume that an appraiser is qualified solely due to membership in, or designation from, an appraisal organization, or the lack thereof. The Agencies have determined that financial institutions' appraisal policies should not favor appraisers from one or more organizations or exclude individuals based on their lack of such membership. If a State agency learns that a certified or licensed appraiser allegedly has been a victim of such discrimination, the State agency should inform the Agency which has regulatory authority over the involved financial institution.

Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Sponsors Honored at 2013 ENERGY STAR AwardsThe U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will recognize a select group of manufacturers, retailers, public schools, hospitals, real estate companies, home builders and other organizations at the 2013 ENERGY STAR Awards for their contributions supporting energy efficiency activities during a ceremony on March 26, 2013. Of the 118 awards, 14 will be presented to sponsors of the Building Technologies Office?s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR (HPwES) program, a nationwide program administered by the Department in conjunction with EPA. The HPwES Program helps homeowners improve the comfort and energy efficiency of their homes through a whole-house approach, focusing on how different aspects of a home can work together to increase energy efficiency. Collectively, the 14 HPwES Sponsors have made significant strides in supporting residential energy efficiency activities by overseeing local program implementation and managing the performance of participating home improvement contractors to ensure that quality standards are met. The local programs deliver energy and cost savings to homeowners, engage specially trained home improvement contractor forces, and promote initiatives to inform homeowners of the benefits of energy efficient homes.The ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award ceremony is hosted annually by EPA and the Department of Energy to honor organizations that have made outstanding contributions to saving energy and protecting the environment through energy efficiency. HPwES Sponsors were honored in three award categories: Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence, Partner of the Year, and Award for Excellence.The 14 organizations recognized with this year?s Partner of the Year Awards support participating contractors that conducted thousands of energy assessments and completed nearly 40,000 home energy efficiency projects in 2012. The energy assessments and improvements help consumers to save on their utility bills and increase the comfort of their homes. HPwES Sponsors also led numerous workforce development and training activities for participating contractors contributing to a growing workforce of more skilled home improvement specialists.This year?s HPwES awardees include:Arizona Public Service, ArizonaAustin Energy, TexasThe Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund with United Illuminating and Connecticut Light & Power, ConnecticutConstellation Energy/Baltimore Gas & Electric Company, MarylandComEd, with Illinois Home Performance, IllinoisDominion East Ohio, OhioEntergy Texas, TexasFocus on Energy, WisconsinFSL Home Improvements, ArizonaLong Island Power Authority, New YorkNew Hampshire CORE Utilities, New HampshireNew York State Energy Research and Development Authority, New YorkPublic Service Company of Oklahoma, OklahomaSouth Carolina Electric & Gas, South CarolinaThere are currently 50 HPwES Sponsors nationwide, including utilities, states, municipalities, non-profit-organizations and financial institutions that promote energy efficient and renewable energy.
