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: Home 

Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) 

Counseling Standardization, 

Application for HECM Counselor 

Roster, and Certificate of HECM 

Counseling. 

OMB Approval Number: 2502–0586. 

OMB Expiration Date: August 31, 

2018. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement, with 

change, of previously approved 

collection for which approval has 

expired. 

Form Numbers: HUD–92902 and 

HUD–92904. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: 

Reinstatement of previously approved 

collection to provide and maintain a 

current HUD approved HECM counselor 

roster. Counseling is required for all 

borrowers seeking to obtain an HUD 

insured HECM. The HECM Counselor 

examination and the HECM Roster 

application, HUD Form 92904, assist 

HUD in evaluating the knowledge and 

capacity of individuals interested in 

providing HECM counseling to potential 

HECM borrowers, thereby satisfying 

statutory requirements and reducing the 

risk to the insurance fund. The addition 

of the Certificate of HECM Counseling, 

HUD Form 92902, which is currently 

part of OMB Collection 2502–0524, to 

this collection is appropriate because 

the Office of Housing Counseling 

regulates all items pertinent to the roles 

of HUD-approved housing counselors, 

which includes HECM Roster 

Counselors. OMB Collection 2502–0524 

was recently approved by OMB and has 

an expiration date of 4/30/2024. 

Revisions to HUD Form 92902 were 

necessary as per recommendations 

made by HUD OGC to ensure 

compliance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act burden statement as 

required in 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3) and the 

Privacy Act Notice requirements in 5 

U.S.C. 552a(e)(3).
