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: Single Family Premiums Collections
Subsystem-Upfront.
OMB Approval Number: 2502-0423.
Type of Request: Revision.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
Single Family Premiums Collections Subsystem--Upfront (SFPCS-U)
strengthens HUD's ability to manage and process upfront single-family
mortgage insurance premium collections and corrections to submit data.
It also improves data integrity for the Single Family Mortgage
Insurance Program. FHA approved lenders use Automated Clearing House
(ACH) applications for all transmissions with SFPCS-U. The collection
of information is used to update HUD's Single Family Insurance System.
The information collection is also used in calculating refunds due to
former mortgagors of a portion of the unearned upfront mortgage
insurance payment if mortgage insurance is terminated by conveyance to
someone other than FHA and a claim for insurance is not presented for
payment, by prepayment of the mortgage, or by voluntary agreement with
FHA approval. Without this information the premium collection/
monitoring process would be severely impeded, and program data would be
unreliable. In general, lender respondents use the ACH applications to
remit the upfront premium through SFPCS-U to obtain mortgage insurance.
Refund of one-time payment set forth by 24 CFR 203.283:
(a) The Commissioner shall provide for the refund to the mortgagor
of a portion of the unearned MIP paid pursuant to Sec. 203.280 if the
contract of insurance covering the mortgage is terminated:
(1) By conveyance to one other than the Commissioner and a claim
for the insurance benefits is not presented for payment (Sec.
203.315),
(2) By prepayment of the mortgage (Sec. 203.316), or
(3) By voluntary agreement with the approval of the Commissioner
(Sec. 203.317).
(b) The Commissioner shall determine the amount of the premium
refund by multiplying the amount the premium paid at the time the
mortgage was insured by the applicable premium refund percentage for
mortgages insured in the year the mortgage was endorsed for insurance.
The Commissioner shall determine the applicable premium refund
percentage for each year in an equitable manner and in accordance with
sound financial and actuarial practice, taking into account:
(1) Projected salaries and expenses,
(2) prospective losses generated by insurance claims, and
(3) expected future payments of premium refunds.
Respondents: FHA approved lenders.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,080.
Estimated Number of Responses: 26,752.
Frequency of Response: 24.77.
Average Hours per Response: .15.
Total Estimated Burdens: $224,672.
