This request is
approved for use through 6/30/95 to enable the OTS to reestimate
the burden hours of this information collection. The agency's
current estimate does not appear to include the time to condu the
appraisals that Federal banking regulations have required. Any
additional hours that financial institutions may spend performing
appraisals due to the Federal requirements should not be considered
"usual and customary." (The recent proposed increase in the dollar
threshold may entail greater savings in this case, though less that
th additional increase.)
