Without Revision, the Following Information Collection

    Collection Title: Recordkeeping and Disclosure Requirements 
Associated with Regulation Y for Minimum Requirements for Appraisal 
Management Companies.
    Collection Identifier: FR HY-5.
    OMB Control Number: 7100-0370.
    General description of collection: The Board's recordkeeping and 
disclosure requirements associated with the minimum requirements for 
Appraisal Management Companies (AMCs) are found in sections 225.192, 
225.193, and 225.195 of the Board's Regulation Y, subpart M.
    Section 225.192(b) provides that an appraiser in an AMC's network 
or panel is deemed to remain a part of the AMC's appraiser panel until 
the AMC (1) sends a written notice to the appraiser removing the 
appraiser with an explanation or (2) receives a written notice from the 
appraiser asking to be removed or a notice of the death or incapacity 
of the appraiser.
    Pursuant to section 225.193(a), each participating state must 
establish and maintain within its appraiser certifying and licensing 
agency a registration and supervision program with the legal authority 
and mechanisms to, among other things, review and approve or deny an 
AMC's application for initial registration; require AMCs to submit 
reports, information, and documents; and report violations of 
appraisal-related laws, regulations, or orders, and disciplinary and 
enforcement actions to the Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC) of the Federal 
Financial Institutions Examination Council .
    Section 225.193(b) requires each participating state to require 
AMCs that are not owned and controlled by an insured depository 
institution and not regulated by a Federal financial institutions 
regulatory agency to register with the state appraiser certifying and 
licensing agency.
    Section 225.195(c) requires a federally regulated AMC to report to 
the state or states in which it operates the information required to be 
submitted by the state pursuant to the ASC's policies regarding the 
determination of the AMC National Registry fee, including information 
relating to certain ownership limitations in the regulation.
    Frequency: Event-generated; ongoing.
    Respondents: The FR HY-5 panel comprises Federal and state 
regulated AMCs and U.S. states, except that AMCs that oversee 15 or 
fewer appraisers in a state or less than 25 appraisers in two or more 
states are exempt from these recordkeeping and disclosure requirements.
    Total estimated number of respondents: Section 225.192(b), 8,481; 
Section 225.193(a), 1; Section 225.193(b), 1,206; Section 225.195(c), 
38.
    Estimated average hours per response: Section 225.192(b), 5 
minutes; Section 225.193(a), 40; Section 225.193(b), 1; Section 
225.195(c), 1.
    Total estimated annual burden hours: 1,991.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, December 18,
