On May 2, the FDIC published a notice and request for comment in the Federal Register regarding the renewal of an existing information collection on the minimum requirements for appraisal management companies (AMCs). According to the notice, there is no significant change in the methodology or substance of the information collection; however, burden estimates for states and AMCs have been revised to include (i) “AMC Written Notice of Appraiser Removal from Network or Panel;” (ii) “Develop and Maintain a State Licensing Program;” (iii) “AMC Reporting Requirements (State and Federal AMCs);” and (iv) “State Reporting Requirements to the Appraisal Subcommittee.” The notice requests comment on, among other things, whether the information collection is necessary and ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on the respondents. Comments are due by July 2.
