    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: The estimated total number of hours 
needed to prepare the information collection is 847, the number of 
respondents is 800 generating approximately 1,640 annual responses, the 
frequency of response is on occasion, and the estimated time needed to 
prepare the response varies from 5 to 30 minutes.
    Status of the proposed information collection: This is a revision 
of a currently approved collection. This revision seeks to consolidate 
the currently approved information collection requirements of 2502-0424 
(Pre-Authorization Debit (PAD) Request) and 2502-0098 (Borrower's 
Personal Financial Statement for Compromise/Settlement), because all 
the information collected is related to borrowers who owe money to HUD 
and HUD's attempts to collect that money.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C., 
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: October 28, 2005.
