Reports.

    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 isured mortgage 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.
