    Title: Application for Fee or Roster Personnel Designation.

    Abstract: VA uses fee basis appraisers to appraise residential real 
estate and

recommend value for loan purposes. A fee appraiser is a qualified 
person requested by the Secretary to render an estimate of the 
reasonable value of a property, or of a specified type of property, 
within a stated area for the purpose of justifying the extension of 
credit to an eligible veteran (38 CFR 36.4301). The fee appraiser's 
estimate of value is reviewed by a VA staff appraiser or lender's staff 
appraisal reviewer who uses the data to establish the VA reasonable 
value (38 U.S.C. 3710(b)(4), (5), (6) and 3731(f)(1)), which becomes 
the maximum loan guaranty amount an eligible veteran can obtain.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of 
information was published at 83 FR 08606 on April 25, 2018, page 18131.
    Affected Public: Private Sector.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 1,000 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,000 per year.

    By direction of the Secretary.
Cynthia D. Harvey-Pryor,
Department Clearance Officer, Office of Quality, Privacy and Risk, 
Department of Veterans Affairs.
