Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 9 / Wednesday, January 15, 2025 / Notices regulation also provides that an AMC may not be registered by a state if any person that owns 10 percent or more of the AMC fails to submit to a background investigation carried out by the state appraiser certifying and licensing agency.11 Thus, each AMC registering with a state must provide information to the state on compliance with those ownership restrictions. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 B. Burden Estimate For the information collections described above, the general methodology is to compute the industry wide burden hours for participating states and AMCs and then assign a share of the burden hours to each of the Agencies for each information collection. As noted above, each of the Agencies’ AMC regulations contains reporting and recordkeeping requirements applying to participating states and to both federally regulated and non-federally regulated AMCs. Unlike the insured depository institutions regulated by the OCC, FDIC, and Board, none of FHFA’s regulated entities owns or controls an AMC or, by law, could ever own or control an AMC. Accordingly, the Agencies have agreed that responsibility for the burdens arising from reporting and recordkeeping requirements imposed upon federally regulated AMCs are to be split evenly among the OCC, FDIC, and Board and that FHFA will not include those burdens in its totals. The four Agencies have agreed to split the total burdens imposed upon participating states and upon nonfederally regulated AMCs among them. For IC #1 and #3, which relates to disclosure requirements imposed upon state regulated AMCs the OCC, FDIC, and the Board are each responsible for 30 percent of the total burden, while FHFA is responsible only for 10 percent of the total burden. For IC #2, which relates to reporting and recordkeeping requirements imposed upon participating states, each agency is responsible for 25 percent of the total estimated burden. The Agencies estimate the total annualized hour burden placed on respondents by the information collection in the joint AMC regulations to be 6,651 hours. FHFA estimates its share of the hour burden to be 678 hours. The calculations on which those estimations are based are described below. 11 See 12 CFR 1222.24(b). VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:37 Jan 14, 2025 Jkt 265001 1. Written Notice of Appraiser Removal From Network or Panel (IC #1, Formerly #3) State-regulated AMCs disclose written notices sent or received regarding appraiser removal from the AMC’s network or panel. The Agencies estimate that the total number of annual respondents for this information collection is 28,270, with one notice sent per respondent. The estimated number of respondents per year allocated to each of the four agencies (FDIC, FRB, OCC, and FHFA) is calculated by splitting the total estimated number of respondents using a ratio of 3:3:3:1. Thus, the estimated number of annual respondents attributable to FHFA for this IC is 2,827 (28,270 notices × 10% = 2,827). FHFA estimates an average of 5 minutes per response. The total hour burden attributable to FHFA is 236 (2,827 notices × 5 minutes = 236, after rounding up). 2. State Recordkeeping Requirements (IC #2, Formerly IC #1) States without a current AMC certifying and licensing program that elect to establish such a program as a result of the rule maintain records related to the rule’s substantive requirements. According to the ASC, there are 5 states that do not have an AMC program. The estimated number of respondents is split evenly among the four agencies, which amounts to one respondent each, after rounding up to a whole number. FHFA estimates 40 hours per recordkeeping activity, which is unchanged from the previous ICR. The total hour burden attributable to FHFA is 40 (40 hours × 1 respondent = 40). 3. AMC Disclosure Requirements (IC #3, Formerly #2) State-regulated AMCs disclose to states information necessary to determine whether any person that owns more than 10 percent of the AMC has had an appraiser license or certificate refused, denied, cancelled, surrendered in lieu of revocation, or revoked in any state. The Agencies estimate the number of state-regulated AMCs for the next three years as 4,020, with an average of one report per AMC and one hour preparation time per report. The estimated number of respondents per year allocated to each of the four agencies (FDIC, FRB, OCC, and FHFA) is calculated by splitting the total estimated number of respondents using a ratio of 3:3:3:1. Thus, the estimated number of annual respondents attributable to FHFA for PO 00000 Frm 00081 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 3867 this IC is 402 (4,020 respondents × 10% = 402). C. Comments Request FHFA requests written comments on the following: (1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FHFA functions, including whether the information has practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FHFA’s estimates of the burdens of the collection of information; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (4) 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.
