SUMMARY: The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) proposes

Homes Underwriting Management System (CHUMS), HUD/H-5'' in its 
inventory of systems of records notices subject to the Privacy Act of 
1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended. Notice of this system was last 
published at 55 FR 17676, April 26, 1990.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This action will be effective without further notice on 
December 5, 1994, unless comments are received that would result in a 
contrary determination.

the proposed amendment to the Rules Docket Clerk, Office of General 
Counsel, room 10276, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

This is not a toll-free number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD/H-5 contains a variety of records 
relating to HUD's single-family underwriting process. This system aids 
the Department in the processing of mortgagee applications for property 
appraisal and commitment for HUD/FHA mortgage insurance, and in the 
subsequent administration of HUD/FHA mortgage insurance programs. 
Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) as amended, notice 
is given that HUD proposes to add a new routine use category to reflect 
the fact that the records will be utilized in a computer matching 
program. This new routine use identifies the categories of users (i.e., 
the Department of Agriculture, Education, Veteran Affairs, the Small 
Business Administration, and other agencies) to whom records may be 
disclosed pursuant to authorized and approved computer matching 
programs undertaken for debt collection purposes.
    The amended portion of the system notice is set forth below. 
Previously, the system and a prefatory statement containing the general 
routine uses applicable to all HUD systems of records was published in 
the ``Federal Register Privacy Act Issuances, 1991 Compilation, Volume 
I.''
    Title 5 U.S.C. 552a(e) (4) and (11) provide that the public be 
afforded a 30-day period in which to comment on the new record system.
    The system report, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), has been 
submitted to the Committee on Government Operations of the House of 
Representatives, the Committee on Governmental Affairs of the Senate 
and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), pursuant to paragraph 4c 
of Appendix I to OMB Circular A-130, ``Federal Agency Responsibilities 
for Maintaining Records about Individuals'' dated June 25, 1993 (58 FR 
36075, July 2, 1993).

    Authority: 5 U.S.C. 552a, 88 Stat. 1896; sec. 7(d), Department 
of HUD Act (42 U.S.C. 3535(d)).

    Issued at Washington, D.C., September 26, 1994.
