Title: Industry Standard Forms for 

Completing an Appraisal Required by 

VA (FNMA Forms 1004, 1004C, 1025, 

2055 and 1075). 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0890. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: This information collection 

package seeks approval of VA’s 

requirement that appraisers utilize 

certain industry-standard forms in 

completing an appraisal. 38 U.S.C. 3731 

authorizes the VA Secretary to establish 

a panel of appraisers, prescribe 

qualifications for such appraisers, and 

determine reasonable value of a 

property, construction, repairs or 

alterations based on an appraisal report 

provided by a panel appraiser for the 

purpose of guaranteeing a loan. 

VA is requesting approval to 

authorize collection of these forms 

because accurate and thorough appraisal 

reporting is critical to the accuracy of 

underwriting for the mortgage process. 

Additionally, VA is looking to expand 

the list of authorized forms for use due 

to ongoing needs related to the 

pandemic. This collection of 

information provides a more thorough 

and complete appraisal of prospective 

VA-guaranteed properties ensuring that 

mortgages are acceptable for VA 

guarantee and thereby protect the 

interest of VA, taxpayers, and the 

Veterans Housing Benefit Program 

Fund. Policies and procedures for 

governing the VA appraisal program are 

set forth in chapter 36, title 38 of the 

CFR. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 10,833. 

Estimated Average Burden Per 

Respondent: 1 minute. 

Frequency of Response: One time. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

650,000. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
