DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-5603-N-20]


Notice of Submission of Proposed Information Collection to OMB 
Single Family Premium Collection Subsystem-Periodic (SFPCS-P)

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information Officer, HUD.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The proposed information collection requirement described 
below has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Department 
is soliciting public comments on the subject proposal.
    The Single Family Premium Collection Subsystem-Periodic (SFPCS-P) 
allows the lenders to remit the Periodic Mortgage Insurance Premiums 
using funds obtained from the mortgagor during the collection of the 
monthly mortgage payment. The SFPCS-P strengthens HUD's ability to 
manage and process periodic single-family mortgage insurance premium 
collections and corrections to submitted data. It also improves data 
integrity for the Single Family Mortgage Insurance Program. Therefore, 
the FHA approved lenders use Automated Clearing House (ACH) application 
for all transmissions with SFPCS-P. The authority for this collection 
of information is specified in 24 CFR 203.264 and 24 CFR 203.269. In 
general, the lenders use the ACH application to remit the periodic 
premium payments through SFPCS-P for the required FHA insured cases and 
to comply with the Credit Reform Act.

DATES: Comments Due Date: April 18, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding 
this proposal. Comments should refer to the proposal by name and/or OMB

    Description of the Need for the Information and Its Proposed Use: 
The Single Family Premium Collection Subsystem-Periodic (SFPCS-P) 
allows the lenders to remit the Periodic Mortgage Insurance Premiums 
using funds obtained from the mortgagor during the collection of the 
monthly mortgage payment. The SFPCS-P strengthens HUD's ability to 
manage and process periodic single-family mortgage insurance premium 
collections and corrections to submitted data. It also improves data 
integrity for the Single Family Mortgage Insurance Program. Therefore, 
the FHA approved lenders use Automated Clearing House (ACH) application 
for all transmissions with SFPCS-P. The authority for this collection 
of information is specified in 24 CFR 203.264 and 24 CFR 203.269. In 
general, the lenders use the ACH application to remit the periodic 
premium payments through SFPCS-P for the required FHA insured cases and 
to comply with the Credit Reform Act.
    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 public reporting burden for this 
collection of information is estimated as the number of hours needed to 
prepare the information collection is 2,765 annually, the estimated 
number of respondents is 1,536 annually, the frequency of response is 
monthly generating 18,432 responses annually, and the estimated time 
per response is approximately 15 minutes. Since remittances are made 
through the ACH applications the periodic remittance is submitted 
electronically and there is no paperwork to complete and mail in.
    Status: Existing of a currently approved collection.

    Authority: Section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. 35, as amended

    Dated: March 13, 2012.
