As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the notice allows for 60 days of public input on the proposed data gathering effort. The information collection seeks to enhance the customer experience with government services, similar to private-sector standards, using a variety of methods such as surveys and interviews. The public is encouraged to provide feedback on the necessity of this data collection, its estimated burden, and suggestions for improving its effectiveness and minimizing its impact on respondents.

HUD is inviting public comments on the necessity, accuracy, and methods of this information collection by February 25, 2025. The collection aims to uphold the quality of appraisals and provide information to potential homeowners about the benefits of independent home inspections.

    The Department of Housing wants to make sure people who check the prices of houses (called "appraisers") are doing a good job when they help people buy homes. They are asking people to say if they think the way they gather this information is a good idea, and people have until the end of February to tell them what they think.
