Subsystem-Periodic (SFPCS).
    OMB Approved Number: 2502-0536.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: None.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The 
Single Family Premium Collection Subsystem-Periodic (SFPCS-P) allows 
the lenders to remit the Periodic Mortgagee Insurance 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 the 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.
