This change would not affect the burden estimate for this collection of information, as prior burden calculations for the FR H–4 have not included any burden associated with section 208.51 of Regulation H. Additionally, as described in this Supporting Statement, the proposal would replace references to section 208.50 of Regulation H with references to subpart G of Regulation Y as the source for certain appraisal standards for state member banks.

Final Approval Under OMB Delegated Authority of the Extension for Three 
Years, With Revision, of the Following Information Collection

    Report title: Recordkeeping and Disclosure Provisions Associated 
with Real Estate Appraisal Standards.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This information collection was previously titled 
Recordkeeping Requirements Associated with Real Estate Appraisal 
Standards for Federally Related Transactions Pursuant to Regulations 
H and Y (FR H-4; OMB No. 7100-0250). Under the proposal, this 
information collection would no longer include references to section 
208.51 of the Board's Regulation H (12 CFR 208.51), which is cleared 
by the Board as part of the FR H-5 clearance (OMB No. 7100-0261). 
This change would not affect the burden estimate for this collection 
of information, as prior burden calculations for the FR H-4 have not 
included any burden associated with section 208.51 of Regulation H. 
Additionally, as described in this Supporting Statement, the 
proposal would replace references to section 208.50 of Regulation H 
with references to subpart G of Regulation Y as the source for 
certain appraisal standards for state member banks. Therefore, the 
Board has modified the title and agency tracking number of the FR H-
4 information collection to reflect that it will no longer account 
for provisions of Regulation H.
