A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Information Collection Related to 
the Administration of the Section 184 and Section 184A Programs.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0200.
    Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-50097, HUD-50098, HUD-50101, HUD-50102, HUD-50103, 
HUD-50104, HUD-50105, HUD-50106, HUD-50107, HUD-50108, HUD-50109, HUD-
50111, HUD-50114, HUD-50129, HUD-50131, and HUD-50175.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
information collected on the forms is to be provided by Tribes, 
lenders, borrowers, servicers and building inspectors with loans 
guaranteed by the Section 184 and Section 184A Program. With respect to 
the information collection from Tribes, the information will be used by 
HUD to determine the land status and jurisdiction for Section 184 loans 
on Tribal Trust lands. In particular, HUD requires the submission of 
land status information by the Tribe and requires a Tribal contact and 
Tribal official signature affirming it has jurisdiction over the 
property that will be used as the security interest in the Section 184 
loan. With respect to the information collection from lenders and home 
inspectors, the information will be used to determine whether a loan is 
eligible for a loan guarantee under the Section 184 Indian Housing Loan 
Guarantee Program and/or the Section 184A Native Hawaiian Housing Loan 
Guarantee Program. Specifically these forms will be used for: (1) 
requesting a case number from HUD; (2) requesting a firm commitment of 
the loan guarantee certificate from HUD; (3) providing additional, 
program specific information as an addendum to the Uniform Residential 
Loan Application; (4) providing HUD a justification for an escrow 
account and an assurance of completion for work to be done on the 
property after loan closing; (5) confirming borrower acknowledgment for 
the use of loan funds in a Section 184 or Section 184A Single Close 
Construction loan; (6) providing additional information to HUD when the 
property is a condominium; (7) submitting builders certification of 
plans, specifications, and changes to approved drawings and plans; and 
(8) providing an analysis of a borrower's mortgage credit, settlement 
costs, and mortgage calculations for the loan guarantee certificate 
application. Housing inspectors will submit information to HUD 
regarding inspections performed when a Section 184 loan is used for the 
construction of a home. This information collection also includes 
administrative documents for when a lender requests a loan guarantee 
claim payment and when reporting a change in lender or servicer on the 
Section 184 or the Section 184A loan.
    With respect to information collected from the servicers, the 
information will be used by HUD to approve or deny a servicer's request 
from HUD for an extension of the filing of first legal action or an 
increase in the property preservation costs. The information collected 
also includes when a servicer requests variances to a pre-foreclosure 
sale.
    Annual Reporting Burden: The estimated total number of respondents 
for all forms included in this collection is 6,400. Four of the forms 
(HUD-50097, HUD-50111, HUD-50131, and HUD-50175) are prepared by a 
single respondent (participating program lender) on a per loan basis. 
The annual loan volume estimate is 3,750 loans. The estimated total 
responses for the collection is 17,650, which represents the estimated 
total number of all forms used each year. The total annual burden of 
this collection is expected to be 2,210 hours. The total estimated 
annual cost for this information collection is $54,320.
