SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Proposal To Renew the Following Currently Approved Collection of Information

1. Title: Interagency Complaint Form.

OMB Number: 3064-0190.

Form Number: FDIC 3064-0190.

Affected Public: Individuals, financial institutions and other private sector entities.

Burden Estimate:

General Description of Collection

As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the Appraisal Subcommittee of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (the “ASC”) established a hotline to refer complaints to appropriate state and Federal regulators. For those instances where the ASC determines the FDIC, OCC, FRB, or NCUA is the appropriate regulator, the agencies developed the Interagency Appraisal Complaint Form as a means to efficiently collect necessary information. The Interagency Appraisal Complaint Form is designed to collect information necessary for one or more agencies to take further action on a complaint from an appraiser, other individual, financial institution, or other entities. The FDIC will use the information to take further action on the complaint to the extent it relates to an issue within its jurisdiction.

There is no change in the method or substance of the collection. The overall reduction in burden hours (from 100 hours to 20 hours) is the result of a change in the agency's estimate of the number of annual responses based on a review of the actual number of complaints received over the last three years. In particular, the estimated number of respondents has decreased from 200 to 40 while the estimated time per response and the frequency of response have remained the same.

Request for Comment

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC's functions, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the estimates of the burden of the information collection, 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 information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. All comments will become a matter of public record.
