    Title: Troubled Asset Relief Program--Making Home Affordable 
Participants.
    OMB Control Number: 1505-0216.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Description: Authorized under the Emergency Economic Stabilization 
Act (EESA) of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-343), the Department of the Treasury 
has implemented several aspects of the Troubled Asset Relief Program 
(TARP). Among these components was a voluntary foreclosure prevention 
program--the Making Home Affordable (MHA) program, under which the 
Department used TARP capital to lower the mortgage payments of 
qualifying borrowers. The Treasury did this through agreements with 
mortgage servicers (Servicer Participation Agreements, or SPAs) to 
modify loans on their systems. Pursuant to the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2016 (Pub. L. 114-113), the MHA program terminated 
on December 31, 2016,

except with respect to certain loan modification applications made 
before such date. The MHA program has several subcomponents: HAMP (Home 
Affordable Modification Program), 2MP (Second Lien Modification 
Program), HAFA (Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives) and FHA 
(Federal Housing Administration)/RD (Rural Development) HAMP. Though 
the MHA program has terminated, there is some data reporting that will 
continue through December 2023 for incentive payment and compliance 
purposes.

    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.

    Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice 
will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management
