Executive Order 12372

This program has been determined to

be a program which is subject to the

provisions of Executive Order 12372

concerning intergovernmental review of

Federal programs by appropriate health

planning agencies, as implemented by

45 CFR Part 100. Executive Order 12372

allows States the option of setting up a

system for reviewing applications from

within their States for assistance under

certain Federal programs. The

application packages to be made

available under this notice will contain

a listing of States which have chosen to

set up such a review system and will

provide a single point of contact (SPOC)

in the States for review. Applicants

(other than federally-recognized Indian

tribal governments) should contact their

State SPOCs as early as possible to alert

them to the prospective applications

and receive any necessary instructions

on the State process. For proposed

projects serving more than one State, the

applicant is advised to contact the SPOC

of each affected State. The due date for

State process recommendations is 60

days after the application deadline for

new and competing awards. The

granting agency does not guarantee to

‘‘accommodate or explain’’ for State

process recommendations it receives

after that date. (See Part 148,

Intergovernmental Review of PHS

Programs under Executive Order 12372

and 45 CFR Part 100 for a description

of the review process and requirements).

Control Number and should be sent to:

Wayne Eddins, Reports Management

Officer, Department of Housing and

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Allen Fishbein, Senior Advisor for

Government Sponsored Enterprises

Oversight, Department of Housing and

Urban Development, 451 7th Street,

SW., Washington, DC 20410, telephone

Sandra Fostek, Office of Government

Sponsored Enterprises Oversight, at

(202) 708–2224, extension 2233 (these

are not toll-free numbers) for copies of

available information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department is submitting the proposed

information collection to OMB for

review, as required by the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35, as amended).

This Notice is soliciting comments

from members of the public and affected

agencies concerning the proposed

collection of information to: (1) Evaluate

whether the proposed collection 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

the use of appropriate automated

electronic submission of responses.

This Notice also lists the following

information:

Title of Proposal: Regulation of the

Federal National Mortgage Association

(Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home

Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie

Mac).

OMB Control Number, if applicable:

2502–0514.

Description of the need for the

information and proposed use: This

notice requests a revision of a currently

approved collection to accommodate

additional data requirements

necessitated by HUD’s recent

publication of a new implementing

regulation to the Federal Housing

Enterprises Financial Safety and

Soundness Act of 1992 (FHEFSSA). On

October 31, 2000, HUD published a rule

at 24 CFR Part 81, to become effective

January 1, 2001, which increased the

levels of required affordable housing

goal performance for Fannie Mae and

Freddie Mac (the GSEs). The rule also

implemented certain changes to HUD’s

counting rules relative to how mortgages

will be credited towards the housing

goals and provided special incentives

whereby the GSEs could earn additional

housing goals credit for certain loan

purchase activities. HUD’s collection of

67016 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 8, 2000 / Notices

information on the GSEs’ business

activities is needed to measure and

monitor their compliance with

statutorily mandated housing goals; to

ensure the GSEs’ compliance with

counting rules, including the exclusion

of high cost, predatory loans, from

eligibility for goals credit; to foster a

continuing dialogue between HUD, the

GSEs, Congress, and the public on the

activities of the GSEs with respect to

affordable housing and underserved

mortgage market issues; and to improve

the operating of the housing finance

market.

In accordance with HUD’s regulation

issued in 1995, the GSEs submit

Quarterly Mortgage Reports, Annual

Housing Activities Reports, Periodic

Reports, and Other Information

Analyses. This reporting remains

unchanged in HUD’s recently published

regulation.

The mid-year second quarter

Mortgage Report and the year-end

Annual Mortgage Activities Report also

must include year-to-date computerized

loan level data. In order to

accommodate the counting rule changes

in HUD’s new regulation, HUD proposes

to increase its mid-year and year-end

computerized loan level data collection

requirement by about 36 percent over

requirements imposed during the

reporting period 1996–1999. The 36

percent increase includes data fields

that are counted twice because the same

data is collected from both single family

and multifamily data sources. This

action represents the first increase in

HUD’s data collection requirements

since publication of the 1995 final rule.

These new data collection requirements

will enable HUD to monitor GSEs’

compliance with new goals and

counting conventions and will also

permit HUD to make determinations

relative to the effectiveness of certain

incentives in promoting conventional

mortgage lending activity to

traditionally underserved borrowers and

communities.

Agency Form Numbers, if applicable:

None.

Estimation of the total number of

hours needed to prepare the information

collection including number of

respondents, frequency of response, and

hours of responses: The estimated

number of respondents is 2, the total

annual responses are approximately 87

reports, and the total annual hours of all

responses, including reports and data

collection, are estimated at 5,697 hours.

Status of the proposed information

collection: Revision of a currently

approved collection.

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act

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

Dated: October 31, 2000.

William C. Apgar,

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal

Housing Commissioner.
