Abstract: FIRREA directs the FDIC to prescribe appropriate performance standards for real estate appraisals connected with federally related transactions under its jurisdiction. This information collection is a direct consequence of the statutory requirement. It is designed to provide protection for federal financial and public policy interests by requiring real estate appraisals used in connection with federally related transactions to be performed in writing, in accordance with uniform standards, by an appraiser whose competency has been demonstrated and whose professional conduct will be subject to effective supervision.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a substantial change in burden from 82,125 hours to 208,200 hours, an increase of 126,075 hours primarily to reflect that FDIC-supervised institutions are engaging in more commercial real estate lending activities whose appraisals require more time to review. Previously, the time burden for review of an appraisal was from 10 minutes to 1 hour, with an estimated average of 15 minutes; now, the time burden for the review is from 10 minutes to 4 hours, with an estimated average of 45 minutes. This revision resulted in a large increase in the estimated burden even though there is a decline in the number of estimated appraisals from 328,600 to 277,600.
