FHA-Insured Mortgage Loan Servicing Involving the Claims and Conveyance 
Process, Property Inspection/Preservation

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information Officer, HUD.

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.
    FHA 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. This information collection 
request for OMB review seeks to combine the requirements of another 
existing OMB collection under one collection; it is OMB collection 
2502-0349.
