A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Request for Construction on 
Project Mortgages.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0011.
    OMB Expiration Date: 1/31/20.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-92437.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
is a revision of a currently approved collection. The previous OMB 
collection reflects an accurate assessment of the numbers submitted 
under this collection, which included two forms used by OMAPO, formally 
Contract Administration, CA (HUD-92442-CA, HUD-92442-A-CA). In 
addition, the specific forms, HUD-92441, HUD-92442, and HUD-92442-A 
have been deleted under this collection and placed under the Closing 
documents, OMB control number 2502-0598. The current numbers were based

three fiscal years of initial endorsements. Furthermore, the numbers 
under this collection reflect a healthy housing industry since 2010 in 
which credit markets stabilized and interest rates were low and 
Multifamily housing occupancy was very strong. HUD plays a vital part 
in the housing industry and the increased numbers reflect that strong 
demand.
    This form HUD-92437 serves as the project's change order involving 
changes to contact work, contract price, or contract time. All on-site 
construction changes are submitted on this form. The contractor, 
architect, mortgagor, and mortgagee must approve the proposed changes 
before the request is submitted to HUD for approval. The form ensures 
that viable projects are developed.
    Respondents: Individuals participating in HUD Multifamily mortgage 
insurance programs as principals of sponsors, mortgagors, and general 
contractors.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,174.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 3,522.
    Frequency of Response: 3.
    Average Hours per Response: 2.
    Total Estimated Burden: 7,044.

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
