A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: FHA-Insured Mortgage Loan 
Servicing Involving the Loss Mitigation Program.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0589.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Form Numbers: HUD-27011, HUD-90035, HUD-90041, HUD-90045, HUD-
90051, HUD-90052.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: FHA's 
Loss Mitigation program/options (24 CFR 203.501) and incentives efforts 
provide mortgagees with reimbursement for using tools to bring a 
delinquent FHA-insured mortgage loan current in as short a time as 
possible, to provide an alternative to foreclosure to the extent 
possible, and to minimize losses to the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund. 
Home retention options promote reinstatement of the mortgage, allowing 
the mortgagor to retain home ownership, while disposition options 
assist mortgagors who cannot recover with an alternative to 
foreclosure. The HUD forms used are part of the collection effort for 
non-performing insured mortgage loans.
    Respondents (i.e. affected public): Mortgagees or Mortgagors.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 414,022.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 1,205,241.
