OMB Control Number, if Applicable: 

2502–0536. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and 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
