10The number of states includes all U.S. states, 

territories, and districts, to include the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, 

the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and 

the U.S. Virgin Islands. The burden estimate of one 

hour per report is unchanged from the estimate 

provided for the currently-approved ICR. The 

subject matter experts at the FDIC do not believe 

this estimate needs to be updated for this renewal. 

11See footnote 9. 

12See 12 U.S.C. 3353(a) (setting minimum 

requirements for registration regulation in 

participating states); id. section 3353(d) (setting 

registration limitations for AMCs); and id. section 

3353(e) (requiring reporting of information by 

AMCs to the ASC). 

the FHFA is responsible for 40 burden 

hours.9

IC #4: State Reporting Requirements 

to the Appraisal Subcommittee. The 

burden hours for State reporting to the 

ASC are estimated by multiplying the 

number of states by the hour burden per 

state.10 Then the burden hours are 

divided equally among the FDIC, FRB, 

OCC, and the FHFA. The total burden 

hour for state reporting is 50 hours: 55 

states × 1 hour/state = 55 hours. This is 

then equally divided across the 4 

agencies for 14 burden hours each, with 

rounding.11

Comments Received: 

The FDIC received one comment 

letter from an appraisal management 

company trade association. 

In response to the request for 

comment on whether this collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

FDIC, including whether the 

information has practical utility, the 

commenter agreed that this collection of 

information is necessary and has 

practical utility but ‘‘only to the extent 

that the information collected serves the 

proper purpose to promote appraiser 

independence while ensuring a healthy 

real estate valuation market.’’ This 

suggests that the commenter believes 

that the ‘‘proper purpose’’ of the 

collection is limited to the promotion to 

appraiser independence. In response to 

this comment, the FDIC notes that the 

purpose of the AMC rule and the 

collection is to implement all required 

elements of the statute, not only 

provisions that relate to appraiser 

independence.12 The Agencies were 

required to adopt regulations to 

implement all the statutory 

requirements and this collection of 

information is a necessary and useful 

component of such implementation. 

In response to the request for 

comment on the accuracy of FDIC’s 

estimate of the information collection 

burden, the commenter opines that the 

FDIC’s estimate of the number of 

entities that meet the definition of an 

AMC under IC #3: (Reporting 

Requirements for State and Federal 

AMCs) is too low. The commenter did 

not offer an estimate of what the number 

should be and appears to agree that, as 

stated in footnote 5, the actual number 

of affected AMCs will be known once 

the AMC National Registry is fully 

operational. 

The commenter indicates that its 

members believe that the estimate of the 

annual burden to comply is also too 

low. The commenter recommends that 

the estimate be increased to twice the 

current estimate. The commenter notes 

that each state differs in complexity of 

their demands for the collection of 

information and not all are on the same 

renewal schedule. Some renew annually 

and some biennially, which have 

varying burdens for preparation and 

validation. The burden estimates for this 

collection have historically been 

prepared on an industry-wide basis and 

then allotted to each agency. The FDIC 

prepared the industry-wide estimates 

for this renewal. We invite commenters 

to review the analysis, which is 

included in our supporting statement, 

and comment during the 30-day 

comment period. 

In response to the request for 

comment on ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected, the 

commenter suggested that the ASC 

should issue additional guidance to 

states and AMCs concerning the AMC 

minimum requirements. The goal of 

such guidance would be to ‘‘provide 

consistency in the implementation of 

the regulations and information 

required.’’ 

The commenter also expressed 

concern that wide variation of AMC 

requirements from state to state may 

have material unintended consequences 

on lending activity in a particular 

jurisdiction. The commenter’s 

suggestions do not relate to the 

information collection. In addition, 

while Title XI and the AMC rule set 

minimum standards for the registration 

and supervision of AMCs by states, Title 

XI and the AMC rule expressly provide 

that a state may adopt requirements in 

addition to those contained in the AMC 

regulation. 12 U.S.C. 3353(b); 12 CFR 

34.210(d). The FDIC will, however, refer 

these suggestions to the ASC for 

consideration. 

In response to the request for 

comments on ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection on respondents, 

including through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, the commenter 

recommends that the ASC find 

opportunities to develop reporting 

efficiencies in the licensing system, 

which could include partnering with 

the Nationwide Multistate Licensing 

System (NMLS) or investing in a new 

process. Furthermore, the commenter 

believes the ASC should be more 

aggressive in supporting modernization 

of the outdated National Appraiser 

Registry (which AMCs must use to 

comply with the minimum 

requirements). FDIC notes that the 

commenter’s suggestions do not relate to 

the information collection. The FDIC 

will, however, refer these suggestions to 

the ASC for consideration. 

Request for Comment: Comments are 

invited on: (a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the FDIC’s functions, 

including whether the information has 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimates of the burden of the 

information collection, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

All comments will become a matter of 

public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA 

has submitted the following proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

review and clearance. 

Food Safety, Health, and Diet Survey 

OMB Control Number 0910–0345— 

Reinstatement 

This information collection supports 

the above captioned FDA survey. Under 

section 1003(b)(2) of the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 

393(b)(2)), FDA is authorized to conduct 

research relating to foods and to 

conduct educational and public 

information programs relating to the 

safety of the nation’s food supply. 

Accordingly, we are proposing a survey 

to measure consumers’ knowledge, 

attitudes, beliefs, and reported behavior 

about food safety and various topics 

related to health, nutrition, and physical 

activity. Survey questions covering 

hand washing, using food 

thermometers, cleaning cutting boards, 

and properly storing food support 

‘‘Healthy People 2030’’ objectives 

relating to consumer food safety and 

help evaluate and develop strategies and 

programs to encourage consumers to 

adopt healthy lifestyles. 

Since late 1990, we have deployed 

two separate surveys to address these 

topics: The ‘‘Food Safety Survey,’’ 

approved under OMB control no. 0910– 

0345; and the ‘‘Health and Diet Survey,’’ 

approved under OMB control no. 0910– 

0545. The surveys have provided data 

used in support of Nutritional Facts 

labeling and have helped inform the 

focus and scope of food safety 

educational campaigns. Because there 

are many related topic areas included in 

the two surveys, we have decided to 

combine them. The newly proposed 

‘‘FDA Food Safety, Health, and Diet 

Survey’’ will contain many of the same 

questions and topics as the previous 

surveys, measuring trends in food 

safety, diet knowledge, attitudes, and 

behaviors over time. The survey will 

focus on three major themes: Eat, Shop, 

and Prepare. These themes and survey 

questions were selected to gather 

information from consumers that will 

help FDA monitor and evaluate its 

programs and policies relating to menu 

labeling, use of the Nutrition Facts label, 

and food safety education activities. 

The theme ‘‘Eat’’ will include 

questions related to eating at 

restaurants, including the frequency of 

eating at restaurants, awareness of menu 

labeling, and use of restaurant health 

inspection scores. It will also include 

questions about consumers’ overall 

dietary patterns, consumption of 

potentially risky foods, and perceptions 

of food safety risks. The theme ‘‘Shop’’ 

will include questions about use of the 

Nutrition Facts label, claims made on 

the front of food packages, and 

perceptions related to organic and 

genetically engineered foods. Finally, 

the theme ‘‘Prepare’’ will include 

questions about food handling practices 

related to cleaning hands and surfaces, 

separating raw meat from ready-to-eat 

foods, using food thermometers, 

preparing ready- and non-ready-to-eat 

foods, and properly chilling foods. 

The survey will be administered using 

two sampling and administrative 

methodologies: A random-digit-dial 

telephone survey of both landline and 

cell phones, and an addressed-based, 

mail push-to-web survey. Previously, for 

both the ‘‘Health and Diet Survey’’ and
