SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

Section A.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Application for Fee or Roster 
Personnel (Appraisers). Designation and Appraisal Reports.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0538.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Form Number: HUD 92563-A, HUD 92564-CN, Fannie Mae Forms: 1004, 
1004C, 1004D, 1004MC, 1025, and 1073.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Accurate and thorough Appraisal reporting is critical to the accuracy 
of underwriting for the mortgage insurance process. The need for 
accuracy is increased for a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) 
insured mortgage since buyers tend to have more limited income and 
lower equity in the properties. This collection of information provides 
a more thorough and complete appraisal of prospective HUD-insured 
single-family properties ensuring that mortgages are acceptable for FHA 
insurance and thereby protect the interest of HUD, the taxpayers, and 
the FHA insurance fund. The collection allows HUD to maintain an 
effective appraisal program with the ability to discipline appraisers 
and inform potential homeowners of the benefits of purchasing an 
independent home inspection.
    Respondents: Business or other for profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 22,345.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 495,676.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Average Hours per Response: .56.
    Total Estimated Burdens: $843,541.

    This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affected parties concerning the collection of information described in 
Section A on the following: (1) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who

collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., 
permitting electronic submission of responses.

these questions.
