SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Multifamily Default Status Report.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0041.
    OMB Expiration Date: 10/31/19.
    Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
regulations at 24 CFR 207.256, 24 CFR 207.256a, and 24 CFR 207.258 
require a mortgagee to notify HUD when a mortgage payment is in default 
(more than 30 days past due), when a mortgage has been reinstated, and 
to submit an election to assign a defaulted loan to HUD within a 
specified timeframe from the date of default. The regulation at 24 CFR 
200, Subpart B, requires lenders to submit delinquency, default, 
election to assign, and other related loan information statuses 
electronically to HUD. Lenders previously used HUD Form 92426 for these 
submissions, however, with the implementation of the regulation 
requiring electronic notification, the Multifamily Delinquency and 
Default Reporting System (MDDR) was established to replace the paper 
form HUD-92426. HUD uses the information as an early warning mechanism 
to work with project owners and lenders to develop a plan that will 
reinstate a loan and avoid an insurance claim. It also provides

Section A on the following:
    (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
