    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: In 
the event of default, foreclosure, and conveyance requirements of an 
insured mortgage, the mortgagee is entitled to receive insurance 
benefits from the date of default to the date of insurance benefits. In 
the event of preservation and protection (P&P) requirements of the 
fiscal integrity of a conveyed property, the mortgagee is entitled to 
receive insurance benefits for the preservation of the property. HUD 
regulations require that the mortgagee take certain actions within 
specific time limitations. Failure to meet such limitations may result 
in curtailment of interest payments. Information collected here allows 
the Department to evaluate requests for extension of the regulatory 
time limits within which specific foreclosure processing and P&P steps 
must be taken.
