on elderly homeowners facing increased health, housing, and subsistence 
costs at a time of reduced income. The currently approved information 
collection is necessary to screen mortgage insurance applications in 
order to protect the FHA insurance fund and the interests of consumers 
and potential borrowers. This collection was revised to align with 
current program requirements and recent amendments to the regulations.
    Respondents: Mortgagees and Counselors.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 512.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 572,680.

affected parties concerning the collection of information described in 
Section A on the following:

the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
