SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

Section A.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Request for Construction on 
Project Mortgages.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0011.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change, of previously approved 
collection for which approval has expired.
    Form Number: HUD-92437.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
    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 on the average of 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 
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.
    HUD encourages interested parties to submit comment in response to 
these questions.
