    Title of Proposal: Mortgage Credit Analysis Worksheet for Native 
American Loan Guarantee Program and Transmittal for Loan Guarantee Fee.
    OMB Control Number: 2577-0200.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
information is required by section 184 of the Housing and Community 
Development Act of 1994, as amended by section 701 of the Native 
American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 and 
implementing regulations at 24 CFR section 1005. HUD has the authority 
to guarantee loans for the construction, acquisition, rehabilitation or 
refinance of 1- to 4-family homes to be owned by Native Americans in 
restricted Indian lands or service areas. Mortgage lenders approved by 
HUD provide borrower and lender information to HUD for guarantee of the 
loan. If the information were not provided on Forms HUD-53036 and HUD-
53038, HUD would be unable to guarantee loans and as a result lenders 
would be unable to provide financing to Native Americans.

    Members of affected public: Businesses or Other For-Profit.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the

response, and hours of response: 2,000 responses (1,000 x 2 forms), on 
occasion, fifteen minutes to prepare HUD-53036, five minutes to prepare 
HUD-53038, 334 hours total reporting burden.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Revision of 
currently approved collection.
    Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: August 28, 2008.
