Submission of Proposed Information Collection Requirement

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing, HUD.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The proposed information collection requirement described 
below has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for expedited review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The 
Department is soliciting public comments on the subject proposal.

DATES: Comments due date: September 8, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding 
this proposal. Comments should refer to the proposal by name and should 
be sent to: Joseph F. Lackey, Jr., OMB Desk Officer, Office of 
Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 
20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kay F. Weaver, Reports Management Officer, Department of Housing and 
Urban Development, 451 7th Street, Southwest, Washington, DC 20410, 
telephone (202) 708-0050. This is not a toll-free number. Copies of the 
proposed forms and other available documents submitted to OMB may be 
obtained from Ms. Weaver.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Notice informs the public that the 
Department of Housing and Urban Development has submitted to OMB, for 
expedited processing, an information collection package with respect to 
the Indian Housing Loan Guarantee Program.
    The Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 authorized Loan 
Guarantees for Indian Housing. Under this Program, the Department will 
guarantee loans made by private lenders to Native American borrowers 
and to Indian housing authorities to construct, acquire, or 
rehabilitate 1- to 4-family homes. These homes must be located on trust 
land or land located in an Indian or Alaska Native area.
    The forms will be used by lenders to determine pertinent 
information regarding the borrowers creditworthiness and to transmit 
specific loan data to Treasury. To determine whether a particular 
borrower is eligible for the Section 184 loan guarantee, the lender 
must analyze the borrower's ability to repay the mortgage debt. Once 
the borrower is deemed approved a guaranteed fee of 1% of the insured 
amount must be submitted to HUD prior to the endorsement of any Section 
184 loan. The fee is a one time charge that is charged to the borrower 
and may be financed into the mortgage amount.
    The Department has submitted the proposal for the collection of 
information as described below, to OMB for review, as required by the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 25);
    (1) The title of the information collection proposal: Form HUD--
53036, Mortgage Credit Analysis and, Form HUD--53038, Transmittal for 
Payment of Loan Guarantee Fee.
    (2) Office of the agency to collect the information: Office of the 
Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
    (3) The description of the need for the information and its 
proposed use:
    The data collected on these forms will be used to determine whether 
a particular borrower is eligible for the Section 184 loan guarantee 
and for remittance of the Loan Guarantee Fee. The lender must analyze 
the borrower's ability to repay the mortgage debt by relating his or 
her income, assets, and liabilities, to the proposed housing payment. 
Once the borrower is deemed creditworthy a guaranteed fee of 1% of the 
insured amount must be submitted to HUD prior to the endorsement of any 
Section 184 loan.
    (4) Agency form number: Forms HUD--53036 and HUD--53038.
    (5) Members of the public who will be affected by the proposal: 
Eligible private lending community.
    (6) How frequently information submissions will be required: Every 
time a lender submits a loan application for Section 184 benefits to 
the Department.
    (7) An estimate of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information submissions including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: One hundred lenders are expected to 
use the Loan Guarantee Fund. Lenders will spend approximately .183 of 
an hour to complete both forms. This process will take place with every 
request for guarantee that the lender submits. We estimate that each of 
the one hundred lenders will submit five applications, totaling five 
hundred annual responses.
    (8) Type of request: New Request.
    (9) The names and telephone numbers of an agency official familiar 
with the proposal: Lisa A. DiCarlo, Office of Native American Programs, 
(202) 755-0066.

    Authority: Section 184 of the Housing and Community Development 
Act of 1992, Public Law 102-550.

SF83  Supporting Statement for Requests for OMB Approval Under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act and 5 CFR 1320

A. Justification

    1. Explain the circumstances that make the collection of 
information necessary. Include the identification of any legal or 
administrative requirements that necessitate the collection.
    Section 184 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 
authorized Loan Guarantees for Indian Housing. Under this Program, 
the Department will guarantee loans made by private lenders to 
Native American borrowers and to Indian housing authorities to 
construct, acquire, or rehabilitate 1- to 4-family homes. These 
homes must be located on trust land or land located in an Indian or 
Alaska Native area.
    The forms will be used by lenders to determine pertinent 
information regarding the borrowers creditworthiness and to transmit 
specific loan data to Treasury. To determine whether a particular 
borrower is eligible for the Section 184 loan guarantee, the lender 
must analyze the borrower's ability to repay the mortgage debt. Once 
the borrower is deemed approved a guaranteed fee of 1 percent of the 
insured amount must be submitted to HUD prior to the endorsement of 
any Section 184 loan. The fee is a one time charge that is charged 
to the borrower and may be financed into the mortgage amount.
    2. Indicate how, by whom, and for what purpose the information 
is to be used and the consequence to Federal program or policy 
activities if the collection of information was not conducted.
    The information on Forms HUD-53036 and HUD-53038 is to be used 
by participating lenders requesting loan guarantees for Native 
Americans on restricted lands. If this collection of information was 
not conducted, the Department would be unable to guarantee lenders 
and as a result unable to provide financing to Native Americans.
    3. Describe any consideration of the use of improved information 
technology to reduce burden and any technical or legal obstacles to 
reducing burden.
    We have not considered the use of any improved technology since 
there is no other way to obtain information regarding the 
applicants.
    4. Describe efforts to identify information.
    The Department is not collecting this data through any other 
information collection mechanism.
    5. Show specifically why any similar information already 
available cannot be used or modified for use for the purpose (2) 
described in # 2.
    There is no similar information currently available. No loan 
level information is currently reported now.
    6. If the collection of information involves small businesses or 
other small entities, describe the methods used to minimize burden.
    The data requested was designed to minimize the burden for both 
large and small organizations, as well as for the Federal 
Government, by requesting a minimal amount of information. The form 
is to be completed manually, requires little completion time and 
does not represent a substantial burden.
    7. Describe the consequence to Federal program or policy 
activities if the collection were conducted less frequently.
    Legislation requires the lender to submit application for the 
loan to the Secretary for examination. HUD would be in violation of 
the law if less frequent collection were made.
    8. Explain any special circumstances that require the collection 
to be conducted in a manner inconsistent with the guidelines in 5 
CFR 1320.6.
    This information collection does not violate 5 CFR 1320.6.
    9. Describe efforts to consult with persons outside the agency 
to obtain their views on the availability of data, frequency of 
collection, the clarity of instructions and recordkeeping, 
disclosure, or reporting format (if any), and on the data elements 
to be recorded, disclosed, or reported.
    The data being collected under this program mirrors the exact 
type of data the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) collects for 
its Single Family housing programs. FHA has collected and processed 
this type of data from lenders for 50 years. In addition, the 
Veterans' Administration collects similar information from their 
lenders.
    10. Describe any assurance of confidentiality provided to 
respondents and the basis for the assurance in statute, regulation, 
or agency policy.
    All financial and personal data submitted to HUD is considered 
confidential under the Privacy Act.
    11. Provide additional justification for any questions of a 
sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious 
beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private. 
This justification should include the reasons why the agency 
considers the questions necessary, the specific uses to be made of 
the information, the explanation to be given to persons from whom 
the information is requested, and any steps to be taken to obtain 
their consent.
    No sensitive information is to be collected.
    12. Provide estimates of annualized cost to the Federal 
Government and to the respondents. Also provide a description of the 
method used to estimate cost, which should include quantification of 
hours, operational expenses, and any other expenses that would not 
have been incurred without the paperwork burden.
    These forms are part of the lenders overall mortgage servicing 
operations. Costs for processing these forms are estimated at $1,104 
annually (based on 92 burden hours at $12.00 per hour). Other costs, 
such as reproduction of the forms are negligible.
    13. Provide estimates of the burden of the collection of 
information.
    The number of participating lenders is estimated to be one 
hundred. Each lender must submit each Form HUD-53036 and HUD-53038 
for mortgage credit analysis and remittance under the Section 184 
program for each loan processed. Total responses will amount to five 
hundred annually. The time required to complete these forms is based 
upon manual form completion.
    14. Explain reasons for change in burden, including the need for 
any increase.
    This is a new information collection requirement, since this is 
the first time Congress has appropriated funds for this purpose.
    15. Collection of information whose results are planned to be 
published for statistical use, outline plans for tabulation, 
statistical analysis, and publication. Provide the time schedule for 
the entire project, including beginning and ending dates of the 
collection of information, completion of report, publication dates, 
and other actions.
    This information is not collected to be published for 
statistical use.
