Title of Proposal: Home Equity 

Conversion Mortgage Counseling Client 

Survey. 

OMB Control Number, if applicable: 

2502–0585. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: As a 

condition of eligibility to receive a 

Home Equity Conversion Mortgage 

(HECM), consumers must participate in 

reverse mortgage counseling. As part of 

HUD’s evaluation of its HECM 

counseling program, performance 

reviews are conducted at the HUDapproved counseling agencies by HUD 

staff. HUD staff mails or emails, when 

an email address is available, the HECM 

client survey to consumers who have 

recently received counseling through 

the agency. This survey is completed by 

the consumer and mailed or emailed 

back to HUD. It provides valuable 

feedback to HUD regarding customer 

service and counseling quality provided 

by the HECM counseling agency being 

reviewed. HUD uses this information to 

evaluate the counseling agency and, 

further, to make any policy or 

procedural changes as necessary. 

Agency form numbers, if applicable: 

HUD–92911. 

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 estimated total 

number of hours needed to prepare the 

information collection is 50, the number 

of respondents is 300 generating 

approximately 300 annual responses; 

the frequency of response is on 

occasion; and the estimated time needed 

to prepare the response varies from 10 

minutes to 20 minutes. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: This is an extension of a 

previously approved information 

collection. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

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

Dated: April 12, 2012.
