Title XI of the Financial
Institutions, Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA)
was enacted to protect federal financial and public policy
interests in real estate related transactions. To achieve this
purpose, the statute directed the NCUA to adopt standards for the
performance of real estate appraisals in connection with federally
related transactions. FIRREA requires that appraisals be maintained
in writing and meet certain minimum standards. NCUA’s regulation
Part 722 carries out the statutory requirements. The information
collection activity requires a credit union to obtain a written
appraisal on federally related transactions or maintain written
support of the estimated market value for transactions not required
to have an appraisal. The use of their information by credit unions
and NCUA helps ensure that federally insured credit unions are not
exposed to risk of loss from inadequate appraisals.
US Code:

USC 3332 Name of Law: Financial Institutions, Reform, Recovery,
and Enforcement Act
The reduction of 142,902 burden
hours is the result of agency adjustments. The NCUA is using a more
accurate methodology for calculating the burden of the information
collections based on the experience of the NCUA and the other
financial institution regulators (OCC, FDIC, Federal Reserve). The
NCUA is now using 5 minutes, opposed to the previously reported 15
minutes, as the average time required to document the file for an
appraisal or an evaluation.
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
