SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Number: 3133-0125.
    Title: Appraisals, 12 CFR 722.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    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 
National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), as one of the federal 
financial institutions regulatory agencies, to adopt standards for the 
performance of real estate appraisals in connection with federally 
related transactions. The FIRREA requires that appraisals be maintained 
in writing and meet certain minimum standards. The NCUA 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 certain other transactions not required to 
have an appraisal. These information collections are attributable to 
the regulation and are a direct consequence of the legislative intent 
and statutory requirements.
    Federally insured credit unions (FICU) use the information in 
determining whether and upon what terms to enter into a federally 
related transaction, such as making a loan secured by real estate. In 
addition, NCUA uses this information in its examinations of FICUs to 
ensure that extensions of credit by the FICU that are collateralized by 
real estate are undertaken in accordance with appropriate safety and 
soundness principles. The use of their information by credit unions and 
NCUA helps ensure that FICUs are not exposed to risk of loss from 
inadequate appraisals or written estimates of market value.
    Affected Public: Private Sector: Not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated No. of Respondents: 3,365.
    Estimated No. of Responses per Respondent: 618.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 2,079,707.
    Estimated Burden Hours per Response: 0.083.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 173,309.
    Reason for Change: An increase of 36,211 burden hours is the result 
of an adjustments. The number of FICUs have decreased since the 
previous submission, but the number of real estate loans have 
increased, thus an increase in the number of responses per respondent.
    Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice 
will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management 
and Budget approval. All comments will become a matter of public 
record. The public is invited to submit comments concerning: (a) 
Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper 
execution of the function of the agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information, 
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
the information on the respondents, including the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
    By Melane Conyers-Ausbrooks, Secretary of the Board, the National 
Credit Union Administration, on May 25, 2022.

    Dated: May 26, 2022.

NCUA PRA Clearance Officer.
