SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Collection and Transmission of
Annual AMC Registry Fees.
OMB Number: 3139–0008.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: States that register and
supervise appraisal management
companies (AMCs) are required to
collect and transmit annual AMC
registry fees to the ASC. 12 CFR part
1102, and in particular section
1102.402, established the annual AMC
registry fee for States that register and
supervise AMCs as follows: (1) in the
case of an AMC that has been in
existence for more than a year, $25
multiplied by the number of appraisers
who have performed an appraisal for the
AMC on a covered transaction in such
State during the previous year; and (2)
in the case of an AMC that has not been
in existence for more than a year, $25
multiplied by the number of appraisers
who have performed an appraisal for the
AMC on a covered transaction in such
State since the AMC commenced doing
business. Performance of an appraisal
means the appraisal service requested of
an appraiser by the AMC was provided
to the AMC. Section 1102.403 requires
AMC registry fees to be collected and
transmitted to the ASC on an annual
basis by States that register and
supervise AMCs. Only those AMCs
whose registry fees have been
transmitted to the ASC are eligible to be
on the AMC Registry for the 12-month
period following the payment of the fee.
Section 1102.403 clarified that States
may align a one-year period with any
12-month period, which may, or may
not, be based on the calendar year. The
registration cycle is left to the
individual States to determine.
Current Action: There are no changes
being made to this regulation.
Affected Public: States, businesses, or
other for-profit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
389 AMCs, 49 States. Based on a review
of AMC Registry data as of September
14, 2023, there are approximately 389
PO 00000
Frm 00066
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
distinct AMCs listed on the AMC
Registry as reported by 49 States.
Therefore, we have changed the
estimated number of AMCs from 350 to
389. Currently 50 States have AMC
Programs with 49 States reporting data
to the AMC Registry.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: For States—We estimate that a
State will spend approximately 60 hours
annually submitting data to the ASC.
For AMCs—5,145 hours. This
estimate has increased from 4,437. As of
September 14, 2023, there were 5,147
active AMC entries on the AMC
Registry. We estimate that it takes each
AMC one hour to report its data to each
State in which the AMC is registered.
Assuming an average of 105 AMCs per
State, this would total 5,145 active
AMCs in 49 States.
Frequency of Response: Event
generated.

Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery
The information collection activity
will garner qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences, and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The current clearance was approved on
November 2, 2020 (OMB Control
Number 0935–0179) and will expire on
November 30, 2023. Feedback collected
under this generic clearance will
provide useful information, but it will
not yield data that can be generalized to
the overall population. This type of
generic clearance for qualitative
information will not be used for
quantitative information collections that
are designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: (1)
the target population to which
generalizations will be made; (2) the
sampling frame; (3) the sample design
(including stratification and clustering);
(4) the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size; (5) the expected response
rate; (6) methods for assessing potential
nonresponse bias; (7) the protocols for
data collection; (8) and any testing
procedures that were or will be

undertaken prior to fielding the study.
Depending on the degree of influence
the results are likely to have, such
collections may still be eligible for
submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
Below we provide AHRQ’s projected
average annual estimates for the next
three years:
Current Actions: New collection of
information.
Type of Review: New Collection.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Average Expected Annual Number of
Activities: 10.
Respondents: 10,900.
Annual responses: 10,900.
Frequency of Response: Once per
request.
The total number of respondents
across all 10 activities each year is
10,900.
Average minutes per response: 19.
Burden hours: 3,383.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
control number.
Request for Comments
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act, comments on AHRQ’s
information collection are requested
with regard to any of the following: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of AHRQ healthcare
research and healthcare information
dissemination functions, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
AHRQ’s estimate of burden (including
hours and costs) of the proposed
collection(s) of information; (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 upon the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to this
notice will be summarized and included
in the Agency’s subsequent request for
OMB approval of the proposed
information collection. All comments
will become a matter of public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Proposed Project
Medical Expenditures Panel Survey—
Household and Medical Provider
Components
AHRQ requests that OMB approve a
change to AHRQ’s collection of
information for the Medical
Expenditures Panel Survey—Household
and Medical Provider Components:
OMB Control number 0935–0118,
expiration November 30, 2025.
Requested changes are for the
Household Component (MEPS–HC)
only.
The MEPS was initiated in 1996. Each
year a new panel of sample households
is selected. Recent annual MEPS–HC
sample sizes average about 13,500
households. Data can be analyzed at
either the person, family, or event level.
The panel design of the survey, which
includes 5 rounds of interviews
covering 2 full calendar years, provides
data for examining person level changes
in selected variables such as
expenditures, health insurance
coverage, and health status.
This research has the following goals:
(1) To produce nationally
representative estimates of health care
