Title of Proposal: Multifamily Project Applications and
Construction Prior to Initial Endorsement.
OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0029.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This
information collection is the application for HUD/FHA multifamily
mortgage insurance. The information from sponsors and general
contractors, submitted by a HUD-approved mortgagee, is needed to
determine project feasibility, mortgagor/contractor acceptability, and
construction costs. In addition, documentation from operators/managers
of health care facilities is also required as part of the application
for firm commitment for mortgage insurance. HUD analyzes financial
data, cost data, drawings, specifications and other documentation to
determine whether the proposed project meets program requirements for
mortgage insurance. Project owners/sponsors may apply to commence
construction prior to HUD's initial endorsement of the loan. This
submission is a revision that incorporates the information collection
approved by OMB under control number 2502-0331, which expires April 30,
2006.

hours.
