Type of Review: Revision of currently approved collection.
Abstract: The Government-Sponsored Enterprise (GSE) Industry
Appraisal Report information collection is used by VA to support
property valuation determinations for VA guaranteed loans. This
collection seeks reapproval of VA's requirement that appraisers utilize
certain industry-standard reports when completing an appraisal, as
accurate and thorough appraisal reporting is critical to the
underwriting process. Authority for this requirement is provided under
38 U.S.C. 3731, which authorizes the VA Secretary to establish a panel
of appraisers, prescribe qualifications, and determine reasonable value
property for loan guaranty purposes. This collection provides accurate
and complete appraisal of prospective VA-guaranteed properties,
ensuring mortgages are
[[Page 11375]]
acceptable for VA guarantee and protecting the interest of VA,
taxpayers, and the Veterans Housing Benefit Program Fund. As part of
this update, VA replaced prior listing of industry-standard appraisal
forms (Fannie Mae 1004, 1004C, 1004D, 1025, 1075, 2055) into a
consolidated single collection titled Government-Sponsored Enterprise
(GSE) Industry Appraisal Report to reflect current industry practice.
This is a technical renaming and does not change the information
collected, respondents, or burden.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 10,833 hours annually.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 1 minute.
Frequency of Response: One-time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 650,000.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

Alternate, VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Information Technology/
Data Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
