SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that the 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development has submitted to OMB a 

request for approval of the Information 

collection described below. This notice 

is soliciting comments from members of 

the public and affecting 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 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 

through 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-Periodic 

(SFPCS–P). 

OMB Approval Number: 2502–0536. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Its Proposed Use: The 

Single Family Premium Collection 

Subsystem-Periodic (SFPCS–P) allows 

the lenders to remit the Periodic 

Mortgage Insurance Premiums using 

funds obtained from the mortgagor 

during the collection of the monthly 

mortgage payment. The SFPCS–P 

strengthens HUD’s ability to manage 

and process periodic single-family 

mortgage insurance premium 

collections and corrections to submitted 

data. It also improves data integrity for 

the Single Family Mortgage Insurance 

Program. Therefore, the FHA approved 

lenders use Automated Clearing House 

(ACH) application for all transmissions 

with SFPCS–P. The authority for this 

collection of information is specified in 

24 CFR 203.264 and 24 CFR 203.269. In 

general, the lenders use the ACH 

application to remit the periodic 

premium payments through SFPCS–P 

for the required FHA insured cases and 

to comply with the Credit Reform Act. 

Estimation of the total number 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 as the number of hours 

needed to prepare the information 

collection is 2,765 annually, the 

estimated number of respondents is 

1,536 annually, the frequency of 

response is monthly generating 18,432 

responses annually, and the estimated 

time per response is approximately 15 

minutes. Since remittances are made 

through the ACH applications the 

periodic remittance is submitted 

electronically and there is no paperwork 

to complete and mail in. 

Status: Existing of a currently 

approved collection. 

Authority: Section 3507 of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 35, as 

amended 

Dated: March 13, 2012.
