    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
SFPCS-U strengthens HUD's ability to manage

[[Page 16650]]

and process upfront single-family mortgage insurance premium 
collections and corrections to submit data. It also improves data 
integrity for the Single Family Mortgage Insurance Program. FHA 
approved lenders use Automated Clearing House (ACH) applications for 
all transmissions with SFPCS-U. The collection of information is used 
to update HUD's Single Family Insurance System. The information 
collection is also used in calculating refunds due to former FHA 
mortgagors when they apply for homeowner refunds of the unearned 
portion of the mortgage insurance premium, 24 CFR 203.283, as 
appropriate. Without this information the premium collection/monitoring 
process would be severely impeded, and program data would be 
unreliable. In general, lender respondents use the ACH applications to 
remit the upfront premium through SFPCS-U to obtain mortgage insurance 
for the homeowner.
    Respondents: Business or other for profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,365.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 20,788.
    Frequency of Response: 8.79.
    Average Hours per Response: .15.
    Total Estimated Burden: 3,188.
