SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is 
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in 
Section A.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Disclosure of Adjustable Rate 
Mortgage (ARM) Rates.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0322.
    OMB Expiration Date: 8-31-2023.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Form Number: None.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Mortgage lenders must provide loan applicants wishing to obtain an FHA-
insured Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) with a pre-loan disclosure that 
includes a written explanation of the ARM loan features. Loan servicers 
must also provide mortgagors with adjustable rate mortgages an annual 
ARM Disclosure Notice at least 25 days before any adjustment to a 
mortgagor's monthly payment may occur, advising the borrower of the new 
interest rate, the new monthly payment, index value and how the 
adjustment was calculated. Lenders generate the ARM Disclosures 
electronically and generally provide these disclosures on paper to 
their borrowers or in electronic formats. HUD collects the pre-loan ARM 
disclosure as part of the origination case binder. HUD may collect 
post-closing ARM disclosures as part of HUD's program monitoring and 
enforcement activities, e.g., when a loan is selected for HUD's post-
endorsement quality review, or the lender sends the file to HUD for 
claim. HUD may review collected disclosures to ensure compliance with 
the ARM disclosure requirements.
    Respondents: Lenders.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,250.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 60,401.
    Frequency of Response: One per FHA-insured adjustable rate loan.
    Average Hours per Response: .05.
    Total Estimated Burden: 3,020.

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.

C. Authority

3507.
