SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department is submitting the proposed

    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

responses.
    This notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: FHA Fee Inspector Panel Application Package.
    OMB Control Number, if Applicable: 2502-0548.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The 
FHA Inspector Roster is a national listing of FHA approved inspectors 
who determine the quality of construction of houses before they can be 
accepted as security for FHA insured loans. The use of qualified 
inspectors is critical to minimizing the placement of FHA mortgage 
insurance on poorly constructed dwellings. FHA approved mortgages use 
the FHA Inspector Roster to select qualified inspectors.
    Agency Form Numbers, if Applicable: Form HUD-92563.
    Estimation of the Total Numbers of Hours Needed to Prepare the 
Information Collection Including Number of Respondents, Frequency of 
Response, and Hours of Response: The number of respondents is 1,000, 
the frequency of response is on occasion, and the burden hours are 3.5 
hours per submission. The cost of providing the information is $30.00 
per hour, for a total annual cost to respondents of $105,000 (1,000 x 
3.5 x $30 = $105,000).
    Status of the Proposed Information Collection: Request for 
extension of a currently approved collection. The form HUD-92563, is 
currently approved under OMB Control Number 2502-0538 with an 
expiration date of 06/30/2006.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C., 
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: December 20, 2004.
Sean G. Cassidy,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing-Deputy Federal Housing 
Commissioner.
