insurance is an important source of mortgage credit for low and 
moderate-income borrowers and their neighborhoods. It is essential that 
FHA maintain a healthy mortgage insurance fund through premiums charged 
the borrower by FHA along with Federal budget receipts generated from 
those premiums to support HUD's goals. Providing policy and guidance to 
the single family housing mortgage industry regarding changes in FHA's 
program is essential to protect the fund. The OMB information requests 
referred to below provide HUD's policy and guidance. This information 
collection request for OMB review seeks to combine the requirements of 
three existing OMB collections under this collection. The OMB 
collections are as follows; OMB collections 2502-0268 ``Request for 
Occupied Conveyance'', 2502-0349 ``Certified Eligibility for 
Adjustments for Damage or Neglect'' and 2502-0436 ``Mortgagee's Request 
for Extension of Time''.

response is from less than a minute to 4 hours depending upon the 
activity.
