A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Application for FHA Insured 
Mortgages.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0059.
    Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-92900-A, HUD-92900-B, HUD-92900-LT, HUD-92561, 
Model Notice for Informed Consumer Choice Disclosure, Model Pre-
Insurance Review/Checklist, Settlement Certification (previously known 
as Addendum to HUD-1) and HUD-92544.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Specific forms and related documents are needed to determine the 
eligibility of the borrower and proposed mortgage transaction for FHA's 
insurance endorsement. The URLA and form HUD-92900-A (Addendum to the 
URLA) are used in every case by the lender to make application for FHA 
mortgage insurance. Together they describe the parties involved, the 
property, and the conditions and terms on which the mortgage insurance 
will be based. The form 92900-A was updated to: revise certifications 
to reflect regulations and other legal requirements; ensure accuracy of 
information provided to FHA; reduce uncertainty in the industry; 
maintain the ability to enforce FHA program requirements; and remove VA 
requirements and certifications from the 92900-A. Lenders seeking FHA's 
insurance prepare certain forms to collect data.
    Respondents (i.e., affected public): Individuals (loan applicants) 
and Business or other for-profit (lenders).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 15,871.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 5,798,629.
    Frequency of Response: One for each FHA-insured mortgage.
    Average Hours per Response: 44 minutes (varies per form and type of 
loan).
    Total Estimated Burdens: 692,542.
    Attached as Appendix A is Form HUD-92900-A, HUD Addendum to Uniform 
Residential Loan Application, with changes for review and public 
comment.

B. Solicitation of Public Comment

    This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affected parties concerning the collection of information described in 
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 
proposed collection of information;
    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond; including through the use of appropriate

these questions.
