The Federal Housing Finance Agency
(FHFA), along with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board),
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), National Credit Union
Administration (NCUA), Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection
(Bureau) (collectively, the Agencies) are jointly proposing a rule
to implement newly-adopted statutory requirements to be applied by
States in the registration and supervision of appraisal management
companies (AMCs). An AMC is an entity that serves as an
intermediary for, and provides certain services to, appraisers and
lenders. The proposed rule would also implement the statutory
requirement that States report to the Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC)
of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)
the information required by the ASC to administer a new national
registry of AMCs (AMC National Registry or Registry).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
