SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This Notice informs the public that

requirement implements

recommendations to mitigate program

abuses that were cited in an Audit

Report of HUD’s Office of Inspector

General. The expanded information

collection focuses on the loan

origination process and requires (1)

certifications and disclosures

concerning identify-of-interest

borrowers and program participants,

and (2) proficiency testing of home

inspectors/consultants.

The purposes of a collection

requirement is to help mitigate program

abuses cited by the General Accounting

Office (GAO) and HUD’s Office of

Inspector General. The basis for our

request for emergency processing is that

the 203 (k) Rehabilitation Mortgage

necessary controls to stem program

fraud and misuse on a timely basis.

agencies concerning the proposed

collection of information to: (1) Evaluate

whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

(92) 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 through the

use of appropriate automated collection

techniques or other forms of information

technology, e.g., permitting electronic

submission of responses.
