SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

Section A.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Title I Property Improvement and 
Manufactured Home Loan Programs.
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0328.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: Title 
I loans are made by private sector lenders and insured by HUD against 
loss from default. HUD uses information about Title I loan borrowers to 
evaluate individual loans on their overall program performance. The 
information collected is used to determine insurance eligibility and 
claim eligibility. HUD proposes adopting the URLA and amending forms 
56001 and 56001-MH to capture Title I Loan program specific information 
which will simplify the form, avoid unnecessary duplication, and reduce 
the burden to the public. This information is necessary for HUD to 
capture information effective in determining overall program 
performance, insurance and claim eligibility and risk management.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: HUD-637, 27030, 55013, 55014, 
56001, 56001-MH, 56002, 56002-MH, & SF 3881.
    Respondents: The respondents are lenders.
    Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection:
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 510.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 38,515.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, periodic.
    Average Hours per Response: 10.01.
    Total Estimated Burdens: 23,180.

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 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
    (5) This extension recommends adopting the URLA form, an industry 
standard for loan applications. This will allow use of revised 56001 
and 56001 MH forms, which reduces the public burden. The public burden 
hours have been adjusted to reflect this change. HUD encourages 
interested parties to submit comment in response to these questions.

C. Authority

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 35, as 
amended.

Jeffrey D. Little,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing.
