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.
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.
