A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Application for Fee or Roster 
Personnel (Appraisers and Inspectors) Designation and Appraisal 
Reports.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0538.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Form Number: HUD 92563A, HUD 92563I, HUD 92564-CN Fannie Mae Forms: 
1004, 1004c, 1025, 1073, 1075, 2055 and 1004MC.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Accurate and thorough appraisal reporting is critical to the accuracy 
of underwriting for the mortgage insurance process. The need for 
accuracy is increased for FHA insured mortgages since buyers tend to 
have more limited income and lower equity in the properties. This 
collection of information provides a more thorough and complete 
appraisal of prospective HUD-insured single-family properties ensuring 
that mortgages are acceptable for FHA insurance and thereby protect the 
interest of HUD, the taxpayers, and the FHA insurance fund. The 
collection allows HUD to maintain an effective appraisal program with 
the ability to discipline appraisers and inform potential homeowners of 
the benefits of purchasing an independent home inspection.
    Respondents: Business or other for profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 17,162.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 467,162.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Average Hours per Response: .05.
    Total Estimated Burdens: 24,783.

B. Solicitation of Public Comment

    This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affected parties concerning the collection of information described in 
Section A on the following:
    (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information;
    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond; including through the use of appropriate 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
    HUD encourages interested parties to submit comment in response to 
these questions.

     Authority:  Section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.

    Dated: January 23, 2015.
