Abstract: 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.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The reduction of 142,902 burden hours is the result of agency adjustments. (1) The number of FICUs have decrease since the previous submission (4,000 to 3,449), but the number of real estate loans have increased; thus an increase in the number of responses per respondent (280 to 477). (2)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, as opposed to the previously reported 15 minutes, as the average time required to document the file for an appraisal or an evaluation.
