SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department is submitting the proposed

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: New Construction Subterranean
Termite Protection for New Homes.
OMB Approval Number: 2502-0525.
Form Number: Form HUD-NPMA-99-A and Form HUD-NPMA-99-B.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: HUD
regulations at 24 CFR 200.926d(b)(3) require that the sites for HUD
insured structures must be free of termite hazards. The HUD-NPMA-99-A
requires the builder to certify that all required treatment for
termites was performed by an authorized pest control company with the
builder's guarantee of the treated area against infestation for one
year. The form HUD-NPMA-99-B requires a licensed pest control company
to provide to the builder a record of specific treatment information
for the prevention of termites. When applicable, the Form HUD-NPMA-99-B
must accompany the Form HUD-NPMA-99-A. If the requested data are not
collected, new home purchasers and HUD are subject to the risk of
insuring a mortgage loan for a home that is infested by termites.
