SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Departmental Offices (DO)
Title: Troubled Asset Relief Program--Making Home Affordable
Participants.
OMB Control Number: 1505-0216.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Description: Authorized under the Emergency Economic Stabilization
Act (EESA) of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-343), the Department of the Treasury
has implemented several aspects of the Troubled Asset Relief Program
(TARP). Among these components was a voluntary foreclosure prevention
program--the Making Home Affordable (MHA) program, under which the
Department used TARP capital to lower the mortgage payments of
qualifying borrowers. The Treasury did this through agreements with
mortgage servicers (Servicer Participation Agreements, or SPAs) to
modify loans on their systems. Pursuant to the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2016 (Pub. L. 114-113), the MHA program terminated
on December 31, 2016, except with respect to certain loan modification
applications made before such date. The MHA program has several
subcomponents: HAMP (Home Affordable Modification Program), 2MP (Second
Lien Modification Program), HAFA (Home Affordable Foreclosure
Alternatives) and FHA (Federal Housing Administration)/RD (Rural
Development) HAMP. Though the MHA program has terminated, there is some
data reporting that will continue through December 2023 for incentive
payment and compliance purposes.
Form Number: None.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 140.
Frequency of Response: On Occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 1,680.
Estimated Time per Response: 28.5 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 47,880.
Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice
will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management
and Budget approval. All comments will become a matter of public
record. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including
through the use of technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services
required to provide information.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
