    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
information collection is utilized during the processing of an 
application for FHA insured mortgage. The respondents are owners/
sponsors, general contractors, lenders, and others involved in 
multifamily housing projects/rehabs. One of the options used in 
processing an application for FHA insured mortgage is Multifamily 
Application Processing (MAP). Third party contractors for mortgage 
insurance perform MAP. Mortgagors submit application for Multifamily 
Projects, to an approved lender for a project to be insured by HUD. The 
lender's underwriters will complete all processing forms and submit 
them to HUD. The contractors involved are architects, cost analysts, 
appraisers, and mortgage credit analysts. An environmental review is 
also conducted, as well as a market analysis.
    The information collection allows the multifamily staff to 
determine the appropriate mortgage insurance premium to apply in the 
underwriting of the loan for an FHA insured mortgage.
    Respondents: FHA lenders, borrowers, participating in HUD 
Multifamily mortgage insurance programs as principals of sponsors, 
mortgagors, and general contractors.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 23,588.
