the FHFA is responsible for 40 burden
hours.9
IC #4: State Reporting Requirements
to the Appraisal Subcommittee. The
burden hours for State reporting to the
ASC are estimated by multiplying the
number of states by the hour burden per
state.10 Then the burden hours are
divided equally among the FDIC, FRB,
OCC, and the FHFA. The total burden
hour for state reporting is 50 hours: 55
states × 1 hour/state = 55 hours. This is
then equally divided across the 4
agencies for 14 burden hours each, with
rounding.11
Comments Received:
The FDIC received one comment
letter from an appraisal management
company trade association.
In response to the request for
comment on whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
FDIC, including whether the
information has practical utility, the
commenter agreed that this collection of
information is necessary and has
practical utility but ‘‘only to the extent
that the information collected serves the
proper purpose to promote appraiser
independence while ensuring a healthy
real estate valuation market.’’ This
suggests that the commenter believes
that the ‘‘proper purpose’’ of the
collection is limited to the promotion to
appraiser independence. In response to
this comment, the FDIC notes that the
purpose of the AMC rule and the
collection is to implement all required
elements of the statute, not only
provisions that relate to appraiser
independence.12 The Agencies were
required to adopt regulations to
implement all the statutory
requirements and this collection of
information is a necessary and useful
component of such implementation.
In response to the request for
comment on the accuracy of FDIC’s
estimate of the information collection
burden, the commenter opines that the
FDIC’s estimate of the number of
entities that meet the definition of an
AMC under IC #3: (Reporting
9 See
footnote 9.
number of states includes all U.S. states,
territories, and districts, to include the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,
the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and
the U.S. Virgin Islands. The burden estimate of one
hour per report is unchanged from the estimate
provided for the currently-approved ICR. The
subject matter experts at the FDIC do not believe
this estimate needs to be updated for this renewal.
11 See footnote 9.
12 See 12 U.S.C. 3353(a) (setting minimum
requirements for registration regulation in
participating states); id. section 3353(d) (setting
registration limitations for AMCs); and id. section
3353(e) (requiring reporting of information by
AMCs to the ASC).

Requirements for State and Federal
AMCs) is too low. The commenter did
not offer an estimate of what the number
should be and appears to agree that, as
stated in footnote 5, the actual number
of affected AMCs will be known once
the AMC National Registry is fully
operational.
The commenter indicates that its
members believe that the estimate of the
annual burden to comply is also too
low. The commenter recommends that
the estimate be increased to twice the
current estimate. The commenter notes
that each state differs in complexity of
their demands for the collection of
information and not all are on the same
renewal schedule. Some renew annually
and some biennially, which have
varying burdens for preparation and
validation. The burden estimates for this
collection have historically been
prepared on an industry-wide basis and
then allotted to each agency. The FDIC
prepared the industry-wide estimates
for this renewal. We invite commenters
to review the analysis, which is
included in our supporting statement,
and comment during the 30-day
comment period.
In response to the request for
comment on ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected, the
commenter suggested that the ASC
should issue additional guidance to
states and AMCs concerning the AMC
minimum requirements. The goal of
such guidance would be to ‘‘provide
consistency in the implementation of
the regulations and information
required.’’
The commenter also expressed
concern that wide variation of AMC
requirements from state to state may
have material unintended consequences
on lending activity in a particular
jurisdiction. The commenter’s
suggestions do not relate to the
information collection. In addition,
while Title XI and the AMC rule set
minimum standards for the registration
and supervision of AMCs by states, Title
XI and the AMC rule expressly provide
that a state may adopt requirements in
addition to those contained in the AMC
regulation. 12 U.S.C. 3353(b); 12 CFR
34.210(d). The FDIC will, however, refer
these suggestions to the ASC for
consideration.
In response to the request for
comments on ways to minimize the
burden of the collection on respondents,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, the commenter
recommends that the ASC find
opportunities to develop reporting
efficiencies in the licensing system,
PO 00000
Frm 00081

which could include partnering with
the Nationwide Multistate Licensing
System (NMLS) or investing in a new
process. Furthermore, the commenter
believes the ASC should be more
aggressive in supporting modernization
of the outdated National Appraiser
Registry (which AMCs must use to
comply with the minimum
requirements). FDIC notes that the
commenter’s suggestions do not relate to
the information collection. The FDIC
will, however, refer these suggestions to
the ASC for consideration.
Request for Comment: Comments are
invited on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the FDIC’s functions,
including whether the information has
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
estimates of the burden of the
information collection, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
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.
All comments will become a matter of
public record.

AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
ACTION:
Notice.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA, Agency, or we) is
announcing that a proposed collection
of information has been submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and clearance under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Fax written comments on the
collection of information by September
13, 2018.
ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on
the information collection are received,
OMB recommends that written
comments be faxed to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, Fax: 202–
395–7285, or emailed to oira_
submission@omb.eop.gov. All
comments should be identified with the
OMB control number 0910–0345. Also
include the FDA docket number found
in brackets in the heading of this
document.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Domini Bean, Office of Operations,
Food and Drug Administration, Three
White Flint North, 10A–12M, 11601
Landsdown St., North Bethesda, MD
20852, 301–796–5733, PRAStaff@
fda.hhs.gov.
In
compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA
has submitted the following proposed
collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number 0910–0345—
Reinstatement
This information collection supports
the above captioned FDA survey. Under
section 1003(b)(2) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
393(b)(2)), FDA is authorized to conduct
research relating to foods and to
conduct educational and public
information programs relating to the
safety of the nation’s food supply.
Accordingly, we are proposing a survey
to measure consumers’ knowledge,
PO 00000
Frm 00082
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
40293
attitudes, beliefs, and reported behavior
about food safety and various topics
related to health, nutrition, and physical
activity. Survey questions covering
hand washing, using food
thermometers, cleaning cutting boards,
and properly storing food support
‘‘Healthy People 2030’’ objectives
relating to consumer food safety and
help evaluate and develop strategies and
programs to encourage consumers to
adopt healthy lifestyles.
Since late 1990, we have deployed
two separate surveys to address these
topics: The ‘‘Food Safety Survey,’’
approved under OMB control no. 0910–
0345; and the ‘‘Health and Diet Survey,’’
approved under OMB control no. 0910–
0545. The surveys have provided data
used in support of Nutritional Facts
labeling and have helped inform the
focus and scope of food safety
educational campaigns. Because there
are many related topic areas included in
the two surveys, we have decided to
combine them. The newly proposed
‘‘FDA Food Safety, Health, and Diet
Survey’’ will contain many of the same
questions and topics as the previous
surveys, measuring trends in food
safety, diet knowledge, attitudes, and
behaviors over time. The survey will
focus on three major themes: Eat, Shop,
and Prepare. These themes and survey
questions were selected to gather
information from consumers that will
help FDA monitor and evaluate its
programs and policies relating to menu
labeling, use of the Nutrition Facts label,
and food safety education activities.
The theme ‘‘Eat’’ will include
questions related to eating at
restaurants, including the frequency of
eating at restaurants, awareness of menu
labeling, and use of restaurant health
inspection scores. It will also include
questions about consumers’ overall
dietary patterns, consumption of
potentially risky foods, and perceptions
of food safety risks. The theme ‘‘Shop’’
will include questions about use of the
Nutrition Facts label, claims made on
the front of food packages, and
perceptions related to organic and
genetically engineered foods. Finally,
the theme ‘‘Prepare’’ will include
questions about food handling practices
related to cleaning hands and surfaces,
separating raw meat from ready-to-eat
foods, using food thermometers,
preparing ready- and non-ready-to-eat
foods, and properly chilling foods.
The survey will be administered using
two sampling and administrative
methodologies: A random-digit-dial
telephone survey of both landline and
cell phones, and an addressed-based,
mail push-to-web survey. Previously, for
both the ‘‘Health and Diet Survey’’ and
