regulation also provides that an AMC 

may not be registered by a state if any 

person that owns 10 percent or more of 

the AMC fails to submit to a background 

investigation carried out by the state 

appraiser certifying and licensing 

agency.11 Thus, each AMC registering 

with a state must provide information to 

the state on compliance with those 

ownership restrictions. 

B. Burden Estimate 

For the information collections 

described above, the general 

methodology is to compute the industry 

wide burden hours for participating 

states and AMCs and then assign a share 

of the burden hours to each of the 

Agencies for each information 

collection. 

As noted above, each of the Agencies’ 

AMC regulations contains reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements applying to 

participating states and to both federally 

regulated and non-federally regulated 

AMCs. Unlike the insured depository 

institutions regulated by the OCC, FDIC, 

and Board, none of FHFA’s regulated 

entities owns or controls an AMC or, by 

law, could ever own or control an AMC. 

Accordingly, the Agencies have agreed 

that responsibility for the burdens 

arising from reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements imposed 

upon federally regulated AMCs are to be 

split evenly among the OCC, FDIC, and 

Board and that FHFA will not include 

those burdens in its totals. 

The four Agencies have agreed to split 

the total burdens imposed upon 

participating states and upon nonfederally regulated AMCs among them. 

For IC #1 and #3, which relates to 

disclosure requirements imposed upon 

state regulated AMCs the OCC, FDIC, 

and the Board are each responsible for 

30 percent of the total burden, while 

FHFA is responsible only for 10 percent 

of the total burden. For IC #2, which 

relates to reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements imposed upon 

participating states, each agency is 

responsible for 25 percent of the total 

estimated burden. 

The Agencies estimate the total 

annualized hour burden placed on 

respondents by the information 

collection in the joint AMC regulations 

to be 6,651 hours. FHFA estimates its 

share of the hour burden to be 678 

hours. The calculations on which those 

estimations are based are described 

below. 

1. Written Notice of Appraiser Removal 

From Network or Panel (IC #1, Formerly 

#3) 

State-regulated AMCs disclose written 

notices sent or received regarding 

appraiser removal from the AMC’s 

network or panel. The Agencies 

estimate that the total number of annual 

respondents for this information 

collection is 28,270, with one notice 

sent per respondent. The estimated 

number of respondents per year 

allocated to each of the four agencies 

(FDIC, FRB, OCC, and FHFA) is 

calculated by splitting the total 

estimated number of respondents using 

a ratio of 3:3:3:1. Thus, the estimated 

number of annual respondents 

attributable to FHFA for this IC is 2,827 

(28,270 notices × 10% = 2,827). FHFA 

estimates an average of 5 minutes per 

response. The total hour burden 

attributable to FHFA is 236 (2,827 

notices × 5 minutes = 236, after 

rounding up). 

2. State Recordkeeping Requirements 

(IC #2, Formerly IC #1) 

States without a current AMC 

certifying and licensing program that 

elect to establish such a program as a 

result of the rule maintain records 

related to the rule’s substantive 

requirements. According to the ASC, 

there are 5 states that do not have an 

AMC program. The estimated number of 

respondents is split evenly among the 

four agencies, which amounts to one 

respondent each, after rounding up to a 

whole number. FHFA estimates 40 

hours per recordkeeping activity, which 

is unchanged from the previous ICR. 

The total hour burden attributable to 

FHFA is 40 (40 hours × 1 respondent = 

40). 

3. AMC Disclosure Requirements (IC #3, 

Formerly #2) 

State-regulated AMCs disclose to 

states information necessary to 

determine whether any person that 

owns more than 10 percent of the AMC 

has had an appraiser license or 

certificate refused, denied, cancelled, 

surrendered in lieu of revocation, or 

revoked in any state. The Agencies 

estimate the number of state-regulated 

AMCs for the next three years as 4,020, 

with an average of one report per AMC 

and one hour preparation time per 

report. The estimated number of 

respondents per year allocated to each 

of the four agencies (FDIC, FRB, OCC, 

and FHFA) is calculated by splitting the 

total estimated number of respondents 

using a ratio of 3:3:3:1. Thus, the 

estimated number of annual 

respondents attributable to FHFA for 

this IC is 402 (4,020 respondents × 10% 

= 402). 

C. Comments Request 

FHFA requests written comments on 

the following: (1) Whether the collection 

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of FHFA functions, 

including whether the information has 

practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

FHFA’s estimates of the burdens of the 

collection of information; (3) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information collected; and (4) 

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.
