                     notice that solicited public comment on the information collection for a period of 60 days was published on July 6, 2023 at 88 FR 43135. A. Overview of Information Collection *Title of Information Collection:*
                     Mortgage Insurance Termination. Application for Premium Refund, Tracer Claimant Refund Case Request. *OMB Approval Number:*
                     2502-0414. *OMB Expiration Date:*
                     12/31/2023. *Type of Request:*
                     Revision of currently approved OMB collection. *Form Number:*
                     Mortgage Insurance Termination HUD-27050-A is submitted electronically; Application for Premium Refund HUD-27050-B. *Description of the need for the information and proposed use:*
                     Mortgage Insurance Termination information is used by servicing mortgagees to comply with HUD requirements for reporting termination of FHA mortgage insurance. This information is used whenever FHA mortgage insurance is terminated and no claim for insurance benefits will be filed. This information is submitted on the internet or via EDI and is used to issue mortgage insurance premium (MIP) refunds directly to eligible claimants. This condition occurs when the form passes the criteria of certain system edits. As a result, the system generates a disbursement to the eligible claimant for the refund consisting of the unused portion of the paid premium. The information collected is used to update HUD's Single Family Insurance System. The billing of mortgage insurance premiums is discontinued as a result of the transaction. Without this information, the premium collection/monitoring function would be severely impeded and program data would be unreliable. Currently when the form is processed but does not pass the criteria in the series of system edits, the system generates the HUD 27050-B Application for Premium Refund for the claimant to complete and return to HUD for further processing of the refund. In general, a Premium Refund is the difference between the amount of prepaid premium and the amount of the premium that has been earned by HUD up to the time the mortgage is terminated. The Tracer Claimant Refund Case Request is used to collect information on the claimant from the tracer. Information collection
