If a 2nd appraisal is requried on an HPML, the timing requirement still applies, correct? That the appraisal must be provided promptly upon completion but not no later than 3 days prior to loan closing?

Yes, the timing requirements still apply.

(ii) Timing. A creditor shall provide to the consumer a copy of each written appraisal pursuant to paragraph (c)(6)(i) of this section:

(A) No later than three business days prior to consummation of the loan; or

(B) In the case of a loan that is not consummated, no later than 30 days after the creditor determines that the loan will not be consummated.
