Download as PDF sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 19 / Monday, January 29, 2018 / Notices AMC must report to the State or States in which it operates the reporting requirements established by the ASC.7 This proposal is being issued pursuant to these requirements. Title: Reporting information for the AMC Registry. OMB Number: New Collection. Description: The Dodd-Frank Act requires the ASC to maintain the AMC Registry of those AMCs that are either: (1) Registered with and subject to supervision by a State that has elected to register and supervise AMCs; or (2) are Federally regulated AMCs. In order for a State that elects to register and supervise AMCs to enter an AMC on the AMC Registry, the following items are proposed to be required entries by the State via extranet application on the AMC Registry: State Abbreviation State Registration Number for AMC Employer Identification Number (EIN) AMC Name Street Address City State Zip License or Registration Status Effective Date Expiration Date AMC Type (State or multi-State) Disciplinary Action Effective Date Expiration Date Number of Appraisers (for invoicing registry fee) States listing AMCs on the AMC Registry will enter the above information for each AMC for the initial entry only. After the initial entry, the information is retained on the AMC Registry, and will only need to be amended if necessary by the State. The estimate for burden assumes that 50 States will elect to supervise and register AMCs, and that the average number of AMCs in a State will be 150. This estimate is based on information currently available, and will be high for some States, and low for other States. The initial entry by a State on a single AMC is estimated to take 15 minutes. Subsequent entries to amend information on an AMC, annually or periodically, are estimated to be negligible. Type of Review: Regular. Affected Public: States. Estimated Number of Respondents: 50 States. Estimated Burden per Response: 15 minutes. Frequency of Response: Annually and on occasion. 7 See 12 CFR 34.215(c); 12 CFR 225.195(c); 12 CFR 323.13(c); 12 CFR 1222.25(c). VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:19 Jan 26, 2018 Jkt 244001 Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,875 hours. Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized, included in the request for OMB approval, and become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
