AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information 

Officer, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed information 

collection. 

SUMMARY: The proposed information 

collection requirement described below 

has been submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

emergency review and approval, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act. The Department is soliciting public 

comments on the subject proposal. 

The HOPE for Homeowners Act of 

2008, located in Title IV of Division A 

of the Housing and Economic Recovery 

Act of 2008 (HERA) (Pub. L. 110–289, 

122 Stat. 2654, approved July 30, 2008), 

amended Title II of the National 

Housing Act to add a new section 257. 

New section 257 (12 U.S.C. 1701z–22) 

established within the Federal Housing 

Administration (FHA), HOPE for 

Homeowners, a temporary FHA program 

that offers homeowners and existing 

mortgage loan holders (or servicers 

acting on their behalf) insurance on the 

refinancing of loans for distressed 

mortgagors. Regulations published in 24 

CFR 4001.01 through 24 CFR 4001.408 

detail the requirements pertinent to 

HUD’s single family mortgage insurance 

programs, i.e., the eligibility 

requirements and underwriting 

procedures, which are determined by 

the documents included in this 

clearance package. 

‘‘Under the Program, new mortgages 

are offered by FHA-approved 

mortgagees to mortgagors who are at risk 

of losing their homes to foreclosure. The 

new FHA-insured mortgages refinance 

the borrower’s existing mortgage at a 

significant write-down. Eligible 

borrowers must be unable to afford their 

existing mortgage payments, must 

occupy the residence that is the security 

for the refinanced mortgage as their 

primary residence, and may not have 

any present ownership interest in 

another residence. Investors and 

investor properties are not eligible for 

the FHA-insured refinanced mortgages. 

Under the Program, participating 

mortgagors share their new equity and 

future appreciation with FHA. 

Additionally, participation in this 

Program is voluntary. No mortgagees, 

servicers, or investors are compelled to 

participate. 

DATES: Comments Due Date: November 

30, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are

this proposal. Comments must be
