The Department is submitting the proposed information collection to OMB for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended). 

This Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information to: (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond; including the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. 

This Notice also lists the following information: 

*Title of Proposal:*                     FHA TOTAL Mortgage Scorecard.                 

*OMB Control Number, if applicable:*                     2502-0556.                 

*Description of the need for the information and proposed use:*                     The regulation mandating this collection can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations at 24 CFR 203.255(b)(5). This information is necessary to assure that lenders (and automated underwriting system (AUS) vendors) are aware of their obligations regarding use of the TOTAL Mortgage Scorecard and are certifying that they will comply with all pertinent regulations. It also allows FHA to request reports from lenders regarding their use of the scorecard, that they have implemented appropriate quality control procedures for using the scorecard, and provides an appeal mechanism should FHA take an action to terminate a lender's use of the scorecard.                 

*Agency form numbers, if applicable:*                     N/A.                 

*Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the information collection including number of respondents, frequency of response, and hours of response:*                     The number of burden hours is 908.0. The number of respondents is 12,000, the number of responses is 452, the frequency of response is on occasion, and the burden hour per response is .464.                 

*Status of the proposed information collection:*                     This is an extension of a currently approved collection.                 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 35, as amended.
