The information collections in parts
7, 34,160, and 190 are required by statute to regulate real estate
lending and holding by national banks and savings associations.
They are used by the OCC to ensure the safe and sound operation of
institutions and institution compliance. This ICR is being filed in
connection with a final rule (OCC RIN 1557-AD87) that codifies
recordkeeping requirements concerning the use of automated
valuation models (AVMs) in valuing real estate collateral securing
mortgage loans. The OCC, Board, FDIC, and NCUA (the banking
agencies) are revising their real estate appraisals and evaluations
information collections to account for these new regulations.
Additionally, the banking agencies are updating and aligning their
information collections with respect to the burden associated with
the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines.
US Code:
12 USC 3331 et seq. Name of Law: Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
US Code: 12
USC 3354 Name of Law: Dodd-Frank Act
The change in burden is due to
the use of an updated methodology to calculate the respondent
total, the addition of new regulations, and updating and aligning
the banking agencies’ information collections with respect to the
Guidelines.
