    Authority: 38 CFR 36.4301; Public Law 104-13; 44 U.S.C. 3501-21.

    Title: Application for Fee or Roster Personnel Designation.

the reasonable value of a property, or of a specified type of property, 
within a stated area for the purpose of justifying the extension of 
credit to an eligible veteran (38 CFR 36.4301). The fee appraiser's 
estimate of value is reviewed by a VA staff appraiser or lender's staff 
appraisal reviewer who uses the data to establish the VA reasonable 
value (38 U.S.C. 3710(b)(4), (5), (6) and 3731(f)(1)), which becomes 
the maximum loan guaranty amount an eligible veteran can obtain.
    Affected Public: Private Sector.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 1,000 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
