Short Statement: This ICR extension will continue to standardize communications and lender reviews around the LGY appraisal process, which will reduce the burden for lenders and appraisers that participate in LGY programs. Today, appraisal-related communications still do not occur in a standardized format. This ICR extension will continue to not only standardize these communications directly within the system, but will support development of LGY appraisal reporting and dashboards to improve lender and appraiser operations.
