proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether

information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of 
responses.
    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Builder's Certification of Plans, 
Specifications, and Site.
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0496.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
is a revision of a current collection and reflects recent statutory and 
policy changes but does not increase the paperwork burden previously 
approved. HUD requires the builder to complete the certification (form 
HUD-92541) noting adverse site/location factor(s) of the property, 
including Floodplains. This certification is necessary so that HUD does 
not insure a mortgage on property that poses a risk to health or safety 
of the occupant.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: HUD-92541.
    Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: The number of burden hours is 4,500. 
The number of respondents is 35,000, the number of responses is 30,000, 
the frequency of response is on occasion, and the burden hour per 
response is .15.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Currently approved.

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

    Dated: December 20, 2011.
Ronald Y. Spraker,
Acting General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing--Acting General 
Deputy, Federal Housing Commissioner.
