In addition to government actions that deal specifically with minerals other
government activities, such as voluntary acquisitions, eminent domain/condemnation, and
regulatory takings and related activities, may require qualified evaluations or appraisals
of property that does or may contain minerals. The Federal Interagency Real Property
Appraisal Committee (FIRPAC) and the Federal Financial Institutions Regulatory Agencies
require that all appraisals be performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). For eminent domain, condemnation, or other
takings appraisals must also be performed in accordance with the Uniform Appraisal
Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions of the Interagency Land Acquisition
Conference. The 18 members of FIRPAC are concerned with real property acquisition and
government loan programs. The following federal agencies are represented by FIRPAC:
| Bureau of Land
Management |
Department of
Veterans Affairs |

Reclamation |

Agriculture |
