The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a federal organization tasked with researching, monitoring, regulating, and enforcing laws related to environmental protection, to maintain and improve the health of the natural environment.
A federally related transaction refers to a real estate transaction that is governed and regulated by federal agencies such as the Federal Reserve Board, FDIC, OCC, OTS, NCUA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. For the transaction to be valid, it necessitates real estate appraisal conducted by state-licensed or certified appraisers.
