Once changes to USPAP are adopted, which of the following is true?

When changes to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) are adopted, only administrative or clerical edits can be made to those changes moving forward. This means that once substantive modifications to USPAP are finalized and adopted, the opportunity to make further significant changes is limited, and the focus shifts to ensuring that any necessary adjustments do not alter the fundamental principles of the standards.

The intention is to maintain the integrity of the adopted changes and provide stability and consistency in the application of USPAP. This also helps protect the reliability of the standards, as significant alterations could lead to confusion among appraisers and stakeholders relying on them.

In contrast, the other options imply different processes or levels of change that are not applicable once the new version of USPAP is in place. Understanding the procedural limits on editing USPAP helps protect the standard's integrity and ensure that any updates undergone are thoroughly considered and debated during the Exposure Draft process prior to being finalized, instead of being subject to casual revision thereafter.
