SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 25, 2025, President Trump issued
Executive Order (E.O.) 14249, ``Protecting America's Bank Account
Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse.'' In the E.O., President Trump
directed agency heads to review and modify relevant System of Records
Notices (SORNs) under the Privacy Act of 1974 to include a routine use
that allows for the disclosure of records to the Department of Treasury
for the purpose of identifying, preventing, or recouping fraud and
improper payments, to the extent permissible by law.
On January 16, 2026, HUD published a Notice to modify certain HUD
system of records notices under the Privacy Act of 1974 at 91 FR 2137.
The notice listed HUD's intent to modify the HUD SORNs in two specific
ways:
(1) Adding a new routine use to the end of the routine use section
of the HUD system of records notices listed in a table published at 91
FR 2137.
(2) Removing the Do Not Pay routine use for the SORN titled
``Single Family Mortgage Insurance Origination System'' published at 90
FR 36173
[[Page 17291]]
(August 1, 2025). The public comment period ended on February 17, 2026.
With respect to the first modification, no relevant information was
omitted. HUD did not receive public comments on this modification.
Accordingly, HUD will not revisit this matter. The modification became
effective on February 18, 2026, the date following the end of the
comment period.
With respect to the second modification, HUD identified an error
and is not implementing the second modification as published for public
comment at 91 FR 2137. In that Notice, HUD identified its intent to
remove the routine use ``P'' for the System of Records Notice titled
``Single Family Mortgage Insurance Origination System'' but did not
identify the routine use information that would serve as the
replacement.
Through this Notice, HUD intends to remedy this error and replace
the second modification found in the Supplementary Information section
of the Notice published at 91 FR 2137 with: ``(2) modifies the SORN
titled `Single Family Mortgage Insurance Origination System' last
published at 90 FR 36173 (August 1, 2025), to remove and replace
routine use `P: To the US Department of Treasury through a computer
matching program interface between CHUMS and Treasury's Do Not Pay
(DNP) system for the purposes of preventing and recovering improper
payments and to verify borrower eligibility to participate in FHA's
mortgage insurance programs per the Payments Integrity Information Act
of 2019' with the routine use below, which is required by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum M-25-32, `Preventing Improper
Payments and Protecting Privacy Through Do Not Pay' (August 20,
2025).''
HUD is reopening the deadline for public comments on the second
modification until May 6, 2026. The action will be effective on the
date following the end of the comment period unless comments are
received which result in a contrary determination.
