Title: Domestic First Lien Residential Mortgage Data.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0331.
Description: Section 104(a) of the Helping Families Save Their
Homes Act of 2009 (12 U.S.C. 1715z-25(a) (Act), as amended by section
1493(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act, requires the OCC to submit a quarterly report to Congress on
mortgage modification activity in the federal banking system. Section
104(b) of the Act (12 U.S.C. 1715z-25(b)) requires the OCC to collect
mortgage modification data from national banks and federal savings
associations and provides for the collection of all data necessary to
fulfill the reporting requirements of section 104(a). Those
requirements include information on the number of mortgage
modifications in each state that have certain characteristics, such as
changes to the principal amount of a loan or changes to a homeowner's
total monthly principal and interest payment.
The OCC currently collects aggregate data on first-lien residential
mortgage loans serviced by seven national banks with large mortgage-
servicing portfolios. The required aggregate data are industry standard
measures of portfolio performance, including: (1) Outstanding loan
count and unpaid principal balance; (2) delinquency and liquidation
ratios; and (3) the number of loss mitigation actions completed.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 61.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 29,280 hours.
On February 5, 2019, the OCC issued a notice for 60 days of comment
concerning this collection, 84 FR 1823. No comments were received.
Comments continue to be invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the OCC, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC's estimate of the burden of the
collection of information;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology; and
