Title of Proposal: Lease and Sale of

HUD-Acquired Single Family Properties

for the Homeless.

OMB Control Number, if applicable:

2502–0412.

Description of the need for the

information and proposed use: HUD

seeks to assist individuals and families

who are homeless by providing them

with transitional housing and

appropriate supportive services with the

goal of helping them move to

independent living. This information

collection allows HUD to determine

whether an applicant qualifies as a

homeless provider for the purpose of

lease or purchase of a HUD-acquired

property. Without the information, the

Department would be unable to

establish eligibility. Eligible applicants,

including State and local governments,

may apply to HUD to become approved

as homeless providers. Such approval

permits the applicant to lease a HUDowned single family home with an

option to purchase, for use in housing

the homeless.

Agency Form Numbers, if applicable:

Not applicable.

Estimation of the total number of

hours needed to prepare the information

collection including number of

respondents, frequency of response, and

hours of response: An estimation of the

total numbers of hours needed to

prepare the information collection is

600, number of respondents is 300,

frequency response is one-time, and the

hours of response is 2.

Status of the proposed information

collection: Reinstatement without

change of a previously approved

collection.

Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, 4 U.S.C., Chapter 35,

as amended.

telephone (202) 708–1858, Ext. 3506

(this is not a toll free number) for

information on the Single Family

Premium Collection Subsystem-Upfront

(formerly form HUD–27001, Transmittal

of Upfront Mortgage Insurance

Premium).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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: Single Family

Premium Collection Subsystem—

Upfront.

OMB Control Number, if applicable:

2502–0423.

Description of the need for the

information and proposed use: The

Single Family Premium Collection

Subsystem-Upfront (SFPCS–U) replaced

the One-Time Mortgage Insurance

Premium System which lenders used to

remit Upfront Mortgage Insurance

Premiums using funds obtained from

the mortgagor during the closing of the

mortgage transaction at settlement. The

form HUD–27001, Transmittal of

Upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium,

is now obsolete. However, the

information collection is still in effect.

SFPCS–U strengthens HUD’s ability to

manage and process single family

mortgage insurance premium

collections and corrections for the

majority of insured single family

mortgages. It also improves data

integrity for the Single Family Mortgage

Insurance Program. FHA approved

lenders use versions of Mellon’s

Telecash and HUD Mortgage Premium

Connection (HUD–MPC) software for all

transmissions with SFPCS–U. The

authority for this collection of

information is specified in 24 CFR

203.283 and 24 CFR 203.284. The

collection of information is also used in

calculating refunds due to former FHA

mortgagors when they apply for

homeowner refunds of the unearned

portion of the mortgage insurance

premium, 24 CFR 203.283, as

appropriate. Without this information

the premium collection/monitoring

process would be severely impeded, and

program data would be unreliable. In

general, lenders use the new software to

remit the upfront premium through

SFPCS–U to obtain mortgage insurance

for the homeowner.

Agency form numbers, if applicable:

Not applicable.

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 public reporting

burden for this collection of information

is estimated to average 0.5 hours per

response, including the time for

reviewing instruction, searching

existing data sources, gathering and

maintaining the data needed, and

completing and reviewing the collecting

of information. The burden of

completing the form will be eliminated.

36704 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 112 / Friday, June 9, 2000 / Notices

Lenders will be able to key the

information online or have their

computer transmit the information. The

number of respondents is 3,378 and the

frequency of response is on occasion,

that is, a mortgage closing. Since

remittances are made through the

Automated Clearinghouse, the upfront

remittance is submitted electronically

and there is no paperwork to complete

and mail in.

Status of the proposed information

collection: Reinstatement without

change of a previously approved

collection.

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act

of 1995, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 35, as amended.

Dated: May 30, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with 24 CFR part 581 and

section 501 of the Stewart B. McKinney

Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C.

11411), as amended, HUD is publishing

this Notice to identify Federal buildings

and other real property that HUD has

reviewed for suitability for use to assist

the homeless. The properties were

reviewed using information provided to

HUD by Federal landholding agencies

regarding unutilized and underutilized

buildings and real property controlled

by such agencies or by GSA regarding

its inventory of excess or surplus

Federal property. This Notice is also

published in order to comply with the

December 12, 1988 Court Order in

National Coalition for the Homeless v.

Veterans Administration, No. 88–2503–

OG (D.D.C.).

Properties reviewed are listed in this

Notice according to the following

categories: Suitable/available, suitable/

unavailable, suitable/to be excess, and

unsuitable. The properties listed in the

three suitable categories have been

reviewed by the landholding agencies,

and each agency has transmitted to

HUD: (1) Its intention to make the

property available for use to assist the

homeless, (2) its intention to declare the

property excess to the agency’s needs, or

(3) a statement of the reasons that the

property cannot be declared excess or

made available for use as facilities to

assist the homeless.

Properties listed as suitable/available

will be available exclusively for

homeless use for a period of 60 days

from the date of this Notice. Homeless

assistance providers interested in any

such property should send a written

expression of interest to HHS, addressed

to Brian Rooney, Division of Property

Management, Program Support Center,

HHS, room 5B–41, 5600 Fishers Lane,

Rockville, MD 20857; (301) 443–2265.

(This is not a toll-free number.) HHS

will mail to the interested provider an

application packet, which will include

instructions for completing the

application. In order to maximize the

opportunity to utilize a suitable

property, providers should submit their

written expressions of interest as soon

as possible. For complete details

concerning the processing of

applications, the reader is encouraged to

refer to the interim rule governing this

program, 24 CFR part 581.

For properties listed as suitable/to be

excess, that property may, if

subsequently accepted as excess by

GSA, be made available for use by the

homeless in accordance with applicable

law, subject to screening for other

Federal use. At the appropriate time,

HUD will publish the property in a

Notice showing it as either suitable/

available or suitable/unavailable.

For properties listed as suitable/

unavailable, the landholding agency has

decided that the property cannot be

declared excess or made available for

use to assist the homeless, and the

property will not be available.

Properties listed as unsuitable will

not be made available for any other

purpose for 20 days from the date of this

Notice. Homeless assistance providers

interested in a review by HUD of the

determination of unsuitability should

call the toll free information line at 1–

800–927–7588 for detailed instructions

or write a letter to Clifford Taffet at the

address listed at the beginning of this

Notice. Included in the request for

review should be the property address

(including zip code), the date of

publication in the Federal Register, the

landholding agency, and the property

number.

particular properties identified in this

Notice (i.e., acreage, floor plan, existing

sanitary facilities, exact street address),
