*Title:* Government-Sponsored Enterprise (GSE) Industry Appraisal Report.
*OMB Control Number: 2900-0890.**https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch* (Once at this link, you can enter the OMB Control Number to find the historical versions of this Information Collection).
*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 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.*
